Nexus Mutual
About
Nexus Mutual is a decentralized, blockchain-based discretionary mutual providing risk coverage for digital assets and decentralized finance protocols. Operating as a member-owned platform on the Ethereum network, the protocol allows participants to purchase protection against smart contract vulnerabilities, custodian insolvencies, stablecoin de-pegging, and validator slashing events. Capital is maintained in a decentralized capital pool funded by members, which backs active cover policies and ensures liquidity for claims. Claim evaluations and risk assessment are managed through token-weighted governance, where participating members assess risk, vote on submitted claims, and earn premium yield for underwriting protocol risks.
