The claims blockchain accelerator is one of three accelerator demos being made available by the vendor, the other two being the Blockchain Accelerator for Trade Finance now available on Quorum, and the Blockchain Accelerator for Smart Margin Calls now available on Corda, according to a vendor statement.

We’re excited to offer these three Accelerators, which show customers what blockchain applications could potentially look like.”
