Sumario:This thesis explores the development of a Decentralized Application (dapp). The fast growth of blockchain technology has provided an opportunity to revolutionize lots of industries by enhancing transparency, security, and accessibility. This research investigates the architectural design, implementation, and deployment of a dapp that leverages smart contracts to facilitate car insurance policy creation and management. Key objectives include the development of a user-friendly interface for policyholders, where they can obtain policy proposals and when purchased ensure a secure, tamper-resistant policy ledger. The study assesses the technical and practical aspects of blockchain-based car insurance, emphasizing the advantages of decentralization in reducing fraud, optimizing administrative processes, and enhancing policyholder trust. The findings highlight the potential of dapps to disrupt traditional insurance models, emphasizing their role in encouraging trust and transparency while streamlining policy management processes.
