Trustless Insurance Market Using FDC Web2 Connectivity

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

A trustless weather insurance agency is built on Flare using the Flare Data Connector (FDC) to fetch OpenWeather API JSON, encode it with a Data Transport Object and verify it on‑chain via JSON API proofs. Policies carry coordinates, start/expiry timestamps, min‑temperature loss thresholds, premium and coverage amounts; insurers deposit coverage before status flips to open and funds are transferred only after state update to prevent reentrancy. JQ filters produce solidity‑compatible DTOs and the AI signature hack generates the encoding schema.
