Informatics tools underlying cryptocurrencies markets, the so-called Blockchain, is raising up a lot of interest for applications in a wide range of fields. The key function of its use is to collect reliable information that could be used for a dynamic updating of contracts, that is one of the main opportunity given by smart contracting, with an adequate support of law's context in which such contracts are merged, that is one of the main issue to be developed for the full functioning of this kind of innovative business model. Blockchain and the connected smart contracting, seem very interesting even for insurance business, in particular for the bayesian adaptive approach which is a classic issue of actuarial science, based on the updating of premium evaluation using the collection of new information of risks phenomena. The new opportunity of collecting offered by the so-called big data even for classic insurance risks as for example, health, driving, climate and seismic events, together with the validating role of Blockchain approach, seem to be the perfect scenario for a massive use of smart contracting in insurance business. In this paper we describe the scheme of a flood risk insurance, the bayesian adaptive design of the contract, using Blockchain to validate both new data of risk phenomenon and the effect of mitigation of the faced risk due to infrastructural works.
