Nexus Mutual is a decentralized insurance protocol on Ethereum that lets its members pool and share risk without the need of an insurance company. The platform quickly became popular during the DeFi boom.
With the growing popularity of yield farming and decentralized trading, DeFi platform hacks are becoming a regular occurrence. This year, more than $50 million was lost in more than 20 DeFi hacks. For reference, there was $15 billion locked in DeFi protocols by the end of 2020.
These kinds of losses are where Nexus Mutual can help. It’s impossible to have a DeFi protocol that is 100% secure, so Nexus Mutual lets users buy coverage against exploits and hacks of popular DeFi dApps.
