DeFi Insurance

The world is gradually turning towards crypto, unlike ever before, with the evolution of decentralized finance or DeFi. Decentralized finance promises a financial system with profound improvements such as limited dependency on centralized parties and improved efficiency. At the same time, the possibility of hacking attacks leading to the loss of DeFi assets has emerged as a formidable concern in recent times. This is where you would find DeFi insurance as a vital tool for protecting your digital assets. So, what is different in insurance for DeFi? How does it work?

The Staggering Growth of DeFi

Decentralized Finance or DeFi has the potential to shape the crypto world in new ways. As a matter of fact, the growth of DeFi in recent times has shown how the future of finance will depend a lot on decentralization. DeFi offers freedom from centralized intervention in finance alongside improving transparency and flexibility in accessing financial services. The total value of assets locked in DeFi protocols and solutions has exploded radically since the onset of 2020. 

Interestingly, the growth from $670 million to around $40 billion in one year set the jump at almost 6000%. As of now, the TVL of the whole DeFi ecosystem is somewhere around $255 billion. For a term that was coined in August 2018, DeFi has undoubtedly registered some astonishing growth numbers. However, the roads in DeFi are not as simple as they seem now. 

Dark Side of DeFi

The continuous growth of DeFi has also led to the rise in many types of vulnerabilities. DeFi solutions have been subjected to protocol exploits alongside hacks. In this case, decentralized finance insurance becomes a formidable priority for anyone interested in DeFi. Hacking attacks on 15 different DeFi platforms in 2020 resulted in a loss of around $120 million. Subsequently, the loss for DeFi due to hacks and scams amounted to almost $10 billion in 2021. 

You can notice that DeFi is an exciting yet unexplored dimension in crypto. The use of smart contracts and decentralized protocols increases the possibilities of hacks and exploits, resulting in more losses for users. For example, flash loan hacks can exploit vulnerabilities in the smart contracts for draining millions of dollars from liquidity pools. Therefore, DeFi users have confirmed the need for DeFi insurance to stay safe against capital losses. As a matter of fact, insurance in DeFi is one of the critical factors for widespread adoption of DeFi alongside awareness and regulation.
