Core Architecture: Dual Token Model + Two Core Functions

1. Cornerstone Layer: PetNFT - Digital Identity and Health Records Each pet corresponds to a unique ERC-1155 NFT, serving as both its digital identity and a lifelong health record.

Core Features:

Unique Identity: Contains basic pet information (breed, birthdate, chip number, etc.). Dynamic Health Timeline: Vaccination, check-up, and medical records are uploaded to the chain after being signed by authorized institutions (veterinarians). Ownership and Pedigree Proof: Breeding records and transfer history are clearly traceable. Permission Management: Owners can authorize specific institutions (vets, insurance companies) to write data. Technical Implementation Snippets:

struct PetRecord { address owner; string basicInfoIPFSHash; // Basic information address[] authorizedVets; // Authorized veterinarian list MedicalRecord[] medicalHistory; // Array of medical records }

struct MedicalRecord { address vetAddress; // Veterinarian's signature string recordIPFSHash; // IPFS hash of detailed record uint256 timestamp; bool isValid; } 2. Financial Layer: PawPool - Decentralized Mutual Insurance Pool Based on PetNFT's health data, a smart contract-managed mutual aid community is built.

Operational Mechanism:

A. Risk Assessment and Tiered Premiums When a pet joins the mutual aid pool, the system assesses risk based on its PetNFT health records:

Young, Healthy Pets (regular vaccinations, no medical history): Lower basic premium. Pets with Chronic Disease Records: Higher premiums, but still eligible for coverage. Elderly Pets: Special elderly pet pool, with community sharing risks. Technical Implementation Snippets:

function calculatePremium(uint256 petNFTId) public view returns (uint256) { // Calculate risk score based on average breed lifespan, current age, past medical history, etc. uint256 riskScore = _calculateRiskScore(petNFTId); return basePremium * riskScore / 100; } B. Community-based Claims Process

Claim Application: Owner submits a claim via the DApp, including a veterinarian's diagnosis certificate (hash on-chain). Random Jury: 21 members are randomly drawn from the pool to form a jury (anonymized). Evidence Verification: Jury reviews vet certificates, historical records, etc. Community Vote: Jury votes on whether to approve compensation (2/3 majority required). Automated Payout: Upon approval, the smart contract automatically pays the vet or owner. C. Fund Management and Yield

Three-tiered Fund Pool Structure: Immediate Payout Pool (30%): For rapid claims. Stable Yield Pool (60%): Invested in low-risk DeFi protocols (e.g., Aave, Compound) to earn yield. Risk Reserve (10%): To handle extreme situations. Dual Token Economic Model

1. $PAW - Governance Token (ERC-20) Functions: Community governance, staking rewards, jury qualification. Acquisition: Provide liquidity, serve as a juror, invite new members. Value Support: Protocol fees used for buyback and burn.
2. $GUARD - Stable Token (Pegged to USDC) Functions: Pay premiums, receive payouts, in-pool valuation. Stability: Maintained by over-collateralization and algorithmic stability mechanisms to ensure 1:1 peg. Core Workflow Example: Mimi's Gastroenteritis Treatment Scenario: Cat "Mimi" suffers from severe vomiting due to gastroenteritis.

Identity Verification:

Owner opens PawGuard DApp, scans Mimi's PetNFT QR code. System displays complete health profile: 3 years old, spayed, fully vaccinated. Veterinary Visit & Claim:

Mimi is taken to a partner pet hospital. Veterinarian diagnoses, signs diagnosis certificate via authorized wallet, and uploads to the chain. Owner submits claim application in the DApp, pays $GUARD as a deposit. Community Governance:

System randomly selects 21 $PAW stakers to form a jury. Jurors anonymously review: Is the diagnosis reasonable? Is the cost fair? 18 votes in favor, 3 against → Claim approved. Automated Execution:

Smart contract directly pays 80% of treatment costs (total 500 $GUARD) to the hospital. Jurors receive $PAW rewards. All records are permanently written to Mimi's PetNFT timeline. Competitive Advantages & Innovation Points Data-Driven Precise Risk Control

Traditional Insurance: Relies on statistical data and manual underwriting. PawGuard: Uses real, immutable on-chain health records for fairer pricing. Community Co-governance Trust Mechanism

Traditional Insurance: Insurance companies unilaterally decide claims. PawGuard: Community jury system eliminates centralized black-box operations. Cost Reduction and Virtuous Cycle

No Intermediaries: Removes 30-40% operational costs of insurance companies. DeFi Yield: Fund pool earns yield, reinvesting into the community to lower overall premiums. Fraud Prevention: On-chain records are difficult to falsify, reducing fraudulent claims. Positive Health Incentives

Pets receive premium discounts for regular check-ups and vaccinations, creating a "healthier, cheaper" virtuous cycle.
