Since 2017, over $8billion has been lost on-chain due to smart contract hacks, infrastructure issues and rugpulls.
The figure becomes even larger when you count phishing attacks and scam coins.
Yet today the vast majority of on-chain transactions and protocol positions aren’t protected… for example if you look at DeFi current TVL which is around $80billion, there is only about $100m which is covered or insured against protocol risk.
One company that is on a mission to make DeFi safe and accessible is OpenCover.
Since 2022, OpenCover has protected thousands of businesses and individuals against on-chain transaction and protocol risks.
On Episode 73, I spoke with its Co-Founder & CEO, Jeremiah Smith, who provided us a short masterclass into DeFi cover and Insurance, and how finance & accounting professionals at web3 startups & DAOs can mitigate their on-chain risks.
