This prestigious award recognizes our groundbreaking dRe platform and underscores our commitment to driving efficiency, transparency, and resilience in the insurance and reinsurance sectors.

The Award-Winning dRe Platform

Developed in partnership with The Institutes RiskStream Collaborative, the dRe platform is the first on-chain data calculation tool for reinsurance. Utilizing smart contracts and weather data validated by dClimate, the platform automates parametric loss calculations, making for swift payouts and streamlined processes.
