# { "Depends": "py-genlayer:1jb45aa8ynh2a9c9xn3b7qqh8sm5q93hwfp7jqmwsfhh8jpz09h6" } """ ClaimGuard — Peer-to-Peer Mutual Coverage Pools with AI-Adjudicated Claims ============================================================================ A GenLayer Intelligent Contract implementing decentralized, member-funded "mutual insurance" pools. Anyone can create a coverage pool (e.g. "Package Damage Cover", "Freelance Gear Breakdown Cover"), members pay a premium in GEN to join, and when something goes wrong they file a claim with evidence (a photo and/or a supporting URL such as a tracking page). GenLayer validators independently review the evidence against the pool's coverage terms — using both vision-model image analysis and live web reads — and reach consensus on whether the claim is covered and how much to pay out. There is no adjuster, no claims desk, and no admin withdrawal path: the contract holds the pooled GEN and only ever releases it through an AI-adjudicated claim. This is a companion piece to a freelance-escrow Intelligent Contract (one AI judge decides "was the deliverable good enough?"); ClaimGuard applies the same idea to a different shape of problem — a *shared pool* serving *many* members over *time*, evaluated with *image evidence* rather than a single webpage — and intentionally does NOT reuse the "strict_eq over raw LLM JSON text" trick some AI-judge contracts use. Comparing the full LLM output string with strict equality rarely survives contact with a real model: two honest validators phrase their reasoning differently even when they agree on the verdict, so that pattern tends to stall consensus in production. ClaimGuard instead uses a custom leader/validator pair (`gl.vm.run_nondet_unsafe`) that re-derives the verdict independently on each validator and compares only the *decision* fields — `covered` (exact) and `payout_percent` (±15 points tolerance) — while letting free-text reasoning vary. See `_adjudicate()` below. Network target: this contract is written to be deployed on GenLayer **Studionet** (https://studio.genlayer.com/api, chain id 61999) — see deploy/deployStudionet.mjs. It has no dependency on any particular network; the same file deploys unmodified to localnet/testnet. Design at a glance ------------------- create_pool() -> anyone defines coverage terms + premium + limits join_pool() -> pay the premium, get an active policy (renewable) top_up_pool() -> anyone may donate GEN into a pool's reserve file_claim() -> member submits evidence; AI adjudicates ATOMICALLY in the same transaction and pays out on approval appeal_claim() -> one appeal per claim, with extra evidence cancel_policy() -> member opts out (no refund, like real insurance) set_pool_active() -> creator can pause NEW joins/renewals only; existing coverage and claims are unaffected Security notes --------------- * Escrow isolation: every pool tracks its own `balance` field. A payout can never draw down a different pool's funds even though all pools share the same underlying contract GEN balance. * No admin withdrawal: nothing in this contract can move pool funds except an AI-approved claim payout. The creator cannot rug the pool. * Self-adjudication is safe here: unlike a two-party escrow, a mutual pool has no counterparty whose consent matters — the claimant filing their own claim does not bias the AI's verdict, so `file_claim` can resolve in one atomic call instead of a separate "trusted party triggers evaluation" step. * Prompt injection: the claim description, evidence URL, fetched page text, and any text visible *inside* an evidence photo are all untrusted, claimant-controlled data. The prompt fences them off and tells the model to treat embedded instructions as a red flag, not a command — mirroring the same defense text-only AI judges use. * Spend limits: `max_payout_per_claim`, `max_claims_per_member_per_period` and the pool's live balance all cap every payout, so one claim (or one bad actor) can never drain a pool in a single shot.
