Day By Day
Decentralised, on-demand insurance powered by blockchain and NFT technology.
Overview
Day By Day is a blockchain-based insurance platform for consumers, built by a Melbourne-based team and launched in 2018. The platform enables on-demand, short-term insurance coverage for personal assets such as electronics and jewellery, with policies represented as NFTs on the Polygon and Algorand blockchains.
The platform delivers insurance products as tokenised NFT contracts traded on the Day By Day marketplace. Policyholders can earn passive income from their policies and participate in underwriting through a decentralised finance pool. A utility token (DBD) powers governance, staking, and in-platform transactions. An AI-powered chatbot called Owl AI handles customer service inquiries to support platform scalability.
Day By Day is accelerator-backed with no publicly disclosed funding rounds. The platform targets retail consumers globally and has approximately 14 employees. Recent activity includes a staking product launch in late 2022. The company was co-founded by Bill Angelidis, Chris Moore, and Vange Sirianos.
