Decentralized Finance Insurance, often referred to as DeFi Insurance, provides coverage for risks associated with transactions and activities in decentralized finance. Unlike traditional insurance, which relies on centralized institutions, DeFi Insurance operates through smart contracts on blockchain networks.Users can purchase coverage against various risks such as smart contract failures, hacks, and market volatility. This insurance is typically funded by a pool of assets contributed by policyholders, which helps to cover potential claims. Claims are usually processed automatically by smart contracts, ensuring transparency and reducing the need for intermediaries. Some platforms also allow users to serve as underwriters, directly participating in the risk assessment and profit-sharing aspect of the insurance process.As DeFi continues to grow, DeFi Insurance aims to mitigate risks, making it safer for users to engage in decentralized financial activities while promoting trust and security through innovative mechanisms.
