 # Ensuro - Decentralized capital for insurance
 
-Ensuro is a decentralized protocol that manages the capital to support insurance products. 
+Ensuro is a decentralized protocol that manages the capital to support insurance products.
 
-It allows liquidity providers (LPs) to deposit capital (using stable coins) that will fulfill solvency capital requirements of underwritten policies. This capital will be deposited in different pools (*eTokens*) according to provider's cashback period preferences. The capital will be locked for the duration of policies and will report profits to the LPs in the form of continous interest.
+It allows liquidity providers (LPs) to deposit capital (using stable coins) that will fulfill solvency capital requirements of underwritten policies. This capital will be deposited in different pools (_eTokens_) that are linked to different risks. The capital will be locked for the duration of policies and will report profits to the LPs in the form of continous interest.
 
-On the policy side, the policies are injected into the protocol by *Risk Modules*. Each risk module represent an Ensuro partner and a specific insurance product and is implemented with a smart contract (inherited from `RiskModule`). Each risk module has two responsabilities: pricing and policy resolution. Also, the RiskModule smart contract stores several parameters of the risk module such as Ensuro and Risk Module fees, capital allocation limits, etc.

+Each policy sold and active it's a _risk_ or potential loss, a random variable that goes from 0 (no losses) to the maximum payout defined in the policy. The solvency capital to cover these risks comes from two sources:
 
+- **pure premiums**: the part of the premium that's equal to the estimated mean of the risk random variable (expected losses), paid by the policy holder.
+- **scr**: the rest of the solvency capital (unexpected losses), required to be able to cover the risks with a given _confidence level_, is locked from the _eTokens_.

 ## Governance
 
 The protocol uses three levels of access control, plus a guardian role. The roles are managed by the PolicyPoolConfig smart contract.

 For coding the smart contracts the approach we took was prototyping initially in Python (see folder `prototype`), and later we coded in Solidity. The tests run the same test case both on the Python prototype code and the Solidity code. To adapt the Solidity code that is called using [brownie](https://eth-brownie.readthedocs.io/en/stable/), we have some glue code implemented in `tests/wrappers.py`.
 
+### Without docker
+
+You can also run the development environment without using docker, just Python (>=3.9) and Node v16 are required as pre-requisits.
+
+Initial setup:
+
+```bash
+# Setup a virtualenv
+python3 -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+# Install python dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
+# Install javascript dependencies
+nvm use  # To change to node v16
+npm install
+```
+
+Then, you can run the tests with:
+
+```bash
+brownie test -v
+npx hardhat test
+```
+
+### Using docker
+
 The development environment is prepared for running inside a docker container defined in the Dockerfile. Also you can launch the docker environment using [invoke tasks](http://www.pyinvoke.org/), but before you need to run `pip install inv-py-docker-k8s-tasks` to install a package with common tasks for coding inside docker. Then with `inv start-dev` you should be able to launch the docker environment. Then you can run specific tasks:
-- `inv tests`: runs the test suite
-- `inv shell`: opens a shell inside the docker container 
+
+- `inv test`: runs the test suite
+- `inv shell`: opens a shell inside the docker container
 
 Also the docker container is prepared to run [hardhat](https://hardhat.org/). This will be used probably for deployment scripts and perhaps some aditional tests.
