According to a press release on Monday, the Open Insurance Data Link (openIDL) platform seeks to provide a standardized data repository to ease regulatory reporting and reduce costs associated.
The move will aim to propel a common distributed ledger for sharing information and business processes within the insurance environment. Alongside cutting costs, the project aims to provide a "connection point" for third parties to deliver applications to its members, according to the release.
Some of the world's largest insurance companies including The Hanover and Selective Insurance Group as well as technology and service providers Chainyard, KatRisk and MOBI will also be involved, the foundation said.
The foundation said the project's first use case will tackle regulatory reporting within the Property and Casualty (P&C) insurance industry also known as general insurance. Sectors beyond P&C are expected to be supported "in the coming months."

What to know:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
