1. INTRODUCTION

Advances in automation and information technologies have transformed many industries. Now, amid the global Covid-19 pandemic, they are accelerating changes in another area — financial services. More and more, the blockchain technology employed in cryptocurrencies is being absorbed into our everyday lives and used by even small or medium-sized businesses.

The insurance industry in Switzerland is one of the latest to undergo transformation. Draft regulations that would drastically limit the activities of foreign, non-tied intermediaries (due to take effect in 2022) are prompting the search for alternative distribution channels. Meanwhile, the Covid-19 pandemic makes automated platforms and cryptocurrency payments even more attractive, since they reduce physical contact with customers. A race has started for technological leadership in the industry, bring with it a wave of new ideas and capital.

Switzerland’s insurance industry has grown faster than other sectors since 2017. Employment has also expanded, despite the effects of digitization. The business potential posed by these trends is obvious. Pioneers who seize the opportunity to exploit market changes and improve an outdated system have the chance to gain a share in Switzerland’s most successful sector.

Our first product is an answer to these changes.

The Swiss insurance brokerage and advisory market is a fairly toxic part of the industry, which prompted lawmakers to debate drastic changes to this market in 2021. Draft amendments to Switzerland’s Insurance Supervision Act (ISA) would deprive non-tied insurance brokers (i.e., those acting on behalf of the customer and not representing the insurer) of a large portion of their revenue. The likely result will be a wave of broker bankruptcies and a search for new solutions — automated processes to cut costs and restore previous profit levels.

Our SARA AI platform aims to revolutionize the insurance brokerage market by optimizing service time and cost while increasing customer satisfaction. Sara’s arrival in the market will also benefit insurance companies by reducing complaints from customers who feel victimized by door-to-door sales.

3. DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT AND HOW IT’S GOING TO SOLVE SAID PROBLEM

The cryptocurrency used to access CryptoSara’s products is an ERC20 token built on Ethereum, a platform that has steadily evolved and innovated over the years. The Ethereum network’s size is a guarantee of security, while its established track record gives it an edge over other projects with smart-contract functionality. At the moment, Ethereum is the only technological solution capable of implementing CryptoSara’s ambitious plans to implement smart-contract and IoT technology

NFT Component

As with any new technology, commercial applications of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are still in their infancy. To date, their most widespread use is in сollectibles, art, domain names, gaming, sports, digital identities and real estate. CryptoSara has decided to introduce NFTs for insurance certificates, clearing the way for applying this technology to another business area.

Even so, we are at a very early stage in this technology’s development. Ethereum is still introducing changes and we expect the network to migrate to ETH2, which could open up new opportunities for developers and investors.

Technological solutions

Artificial Intelligence

Sara AI is a built-in collective intelligence that advises customers on insurance policies, coaches them on using the platform, and helps them sign insurance agreements. Over time, as Sara learns from interactions with the customer, it acquires the capacity to act as a personal advisor, communicating freely and building a friendly relationship.

Smart contracts

The traditional process of buying insurance required customers to send a signed copy of the agreement to the insurer along with proof of identity, wait for the policy to be mailed back, then pay.

Thanks to smart contract technology, this process can be fully automated. Insurance offers are represented by smart contracts which the customer can choose from. By verifying his or her identity through an automatic application, the buyer receives a response in the form of an NFT token when paying for the policy.

The automation of the entire sales process from customer advisory and consulting services provided by our AI agent, to policy creation, transaction execution, automatic identity verification and instant payments without bank involvement marks a revolutionary change for the insurance industry. The end result is significant savings in time and administrative costs, and a dramatic improvement in customer satisfaction.

Our offer

1. Virtual Agent

Our platform allows customers to compare offers and find the right insurance policy with Sara AI’s assistance. Implementation through blockchain and smart contract functionality minimizes the time needed to finalize agreements and cuts sales costs.

2. Community engagement app

Our application engages the community gathered around the project, which is an essential element of any project using decentralized technology. Members of the blockchain community can vote on the company’s business strategy “freezing” their tokens, which results in token removal from reserves (supply decrease) — “burning”.

3. Smart Insurance -NFT policy

Thanks to the use of smart contracts, offers presented as part of our platform can be signed by users automatically. The KYC process is carried out through immediate online verification, and the customer receives a certificate in the form of an NFT token — which constitutes the insurance policy.

Problems solved

• Lack of innovation in insurance sales, including policy design, payment methods and e-signatures;
• Toxic market of door-to-door insurance sales
• Limited access to customers due to Covid-19 pandemic
• Rising insurance costs
• Lack of expert advice in online search and comparison services
• Insufficient automaton and an outmoded approach to customer service
• Early community engagement in the platform’s development

4.Tokenomics, Initial Coin Offering (ICO)

The ICO will be structured as follows:

Stage 1 “seed investors” — Those who support us at this initial stage will be rewarded with 30% bonus.

Stage 2 “early community” — At this stage, where we plan to start marketing, early members of our community will receive an 18% bonus.

Stage 3 “majority” — most of our tokens will be sold in the third round (over 75% of tokens available for sale). According to our forecasts, this stage will coincide with an international marketing campaign.

Since our project has been realized thus far with private funds and because the first versions of our platform and the “community engagement app” have already been built, we have decided not to accept offers from venture capital funds.

What does this mean for token buyers?

With no large investors involved in the project, selling pressure will be very limited. The role of early investors is played by participants in the first round of token sales, but thanks to the small number of tokens available in this round, none of the buyers in later rounds needs to worry about sales from early buyers, since 30% bonus tokens in the first round account for just 7.9% of the total ICO.

CryptoSara team members will receive 8% of the ICO, but to safeguard the interests of the broader community, their tokens will only vest after 12 months. Compared to other projects, our token supply will never increase, and community participation in the referendum will burn the platform’s token reserves — leading to a massive scarcity!

Another 15.83% of tokens are earmarked for future partners. This allocation will not affect demand, given the small number of tokens involved and their distribution over time (vesting). We have thus designed an economy with relatively small total supply for such an ambitious project.

Funds raised during the ICO will be mostly devoted to developing the technology and hiring world-class specialists to help us expand globally.
