Sentinel: Flight Delay Insurance UI

Sentinel is building a decentralized parametric insurance framework on Stellar Soroban. This repository contains the user interface for the first insurance vertical – Flight Delay Insurance – running on the Stellar testnet. It allows travelers to secure flight delay coverage with fast, automatic payouts via smart contracts, ensuring a trustless and transparent insurance process.

✨ Key Features

• Purchase Coverage – Buy flight delay insurance by paying a premium through the web app.

• Policy Management – View your active insurance policies and past policy history in the dashboard. Monitor status of your insurances and any payouts in real time.

• Transparency – All policy terms and transactions are recorded on the Stellar blockchain, providing transparency and eliminating the need for trust in a third party.

• Ongoing Support – Users can get in-app guidance and support.

More features are planned as the Sentinel framework expands.
