Life Claim Verification Layer

Verify the beneficiary.
Release the payout.

Deploy a life insurance claim process where beneficiary identity and the death record are verified digitally, releasing the payout without weeks of physical paperwork. The Civil Registry, DID and VC Ledger, and Escrow and Conditional Settlement modules confirm eligibility from a verifiable credential and a confirmed death record, then settle in a fraction of the usual time.

The Foundation

The Execution Mechanics

Turn a weeks-long document verification into a credential-driven, tamper-evident payout.

01.

Credentialed Beneficiary

The DID and VC Ledger lets a beneficiary present a verifiable identity credential the insurer checks cryptographically, removing the manual scrutiny of submitted identity documents.

02.

Digital Death Record

The Civil Registry anchors a confirmed death record from the issuing authority, so the insurer verifies the event against a trusted source rather than a physical certificate.

03.

Eligibility Match

The contract matches the credentialed beneficiary against the policy's nominated beneficiary, confirming entitlement before any funds are considered for release.

04.

Conditional Release

Escrow and Conditional Settlement holds the sum assured and releases it only when both identity and death checks pass, binding proof and payment into one event.

05.

Fraud-Resistant Claims

Because both the beneficiary credential and the death record are cryptographically verified, impersonation and forged-certificate fraud are caught before payout instead of after.

06.

Paperwork Elimination

Two further Cerulea Studio modules remove the physical document exchange entirely, collapsing a weeks-long process into a verified digital claim.

The Life Claim Lifecycle

Follow a single life claim from a beneficiary's credential presentation to a settled, escrow-backed payout.

Smart Contract Anatomy

Cerulea decomposes life claim settlement into modular contracts. Each layer verifies the beneficiary credential, anchors the death record, matches entitlement, and releases escrow without physical paperwork.

Applicability Across the Spectrum

Credential-driven life claims is a horizontal capability. Here is how different actors in life insurance put the shared ledger to work.

Life Insurers

Verify beneficiary identity and the insured event cryptographically and settle claims in a fraction of the usual time, cutting the weeks of manual document review that delay grieving families.

Network & Execution Architecture

Whether you are bridging a life insurer's policy admin system or capturing a beneficiary's credential from a mobile wallet, Cerulea routes both into one shared claim ledger.

Track A: Insurer Policy-Admin Bridging

For life insurers on legacy policy administration systems. Existing claim and nomination records are translated into signed on-chain verification requests through the API gateway automatically.

Track B: Beneficiary Wallet Capture

For beneficiaries presenting credentials from a phone. A wallet app signs the credential presentation and routes it directly to the claim ledger for verification.

Technical Methodology

The legacy timeline reflects life-insurance identity integration benchmarks. Wiring a policy admin system to civil registries, building verifiable-credential checks, and shipping conditional payout escrow for an average network takes a baseline of 7 months. Building the same architecture on Cerulea takes a baseline of 2 weeks, because Cerulea Studio visually translates your verification and payout rules into pre-audited WebAssembly binaries and provisions the shared claim ledger and credential layer instantly.
