Parametric Insurance for Blockchain Infrastructure
When your infrastructure goes down, you get paid. Automatically.

DeFi Runs on Centralized Infrastructure

Your protocol is decentralized. The infrastructure it depends on is not.

RPC Endpoints

A handful of centralized providers power the majority of Web3 traffic

L2 Sequencers

A single entity controls transaction ordering on every major L2

Oracles

One delayed price feed can trigger cascading liquidations

Providers refund your service fees, not the $50K in missed trades.

Real Outages, Real Losses

AWS Outage, October 2025

MetaMask, Uniswap, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base all went down.

Base: 9 hours Optimism: 6 hours Arbitrum: 78 minutes
Price arbitrage losses in DEX trades
Failed liquidations, bad debt accumulation
Missed trading opportunities, stuck funds
Protocol insolvency risk, user exodus
