Lemonade offers users a monthly subscription for Contents Insurance or Liability Insurance (or both packaged) starting at two Euros per month. Insurance can cover the user, their home, and everything they own. The company also leverages an artificial intelligence designed to craft coverage plans for customers.

What’s not commonly known, however, is that the peer-to-peer transactions at work when claims are paid operate on a distributed ledger via smart contracts — a digital policy that pays out instantly once a claim is verified.
