Decentralized Insurance: Quantifying Risk for The Immutable
summary
Panelists describe working systems and pilots: a parametric flight-delay payouts product with claim automation, a crop pilot in Sri Lanka run with Oxfam and Aon and now cleared by German regulators, and an AMM-backed options engine that Curve options launched on chain while citing the $300 trillion global options market. Nexus-style mutuals use on-chain treasuries and voting for claims; one user staked cover on YAM before the protocol broke the same day, leaving little purchased cover. AMMs and prediction-market pricing, on-demand microinsurance, and transparent on-chain audits are the concrete tools discussed.
