DeFi Slate Fam:

Insurance is a $1.3T+ market in the US alone. As more assets transition on-chain there is more and more value to protect.

Just like insurance in traditional markets, members of DeFi markets can now pool risk to lower the threat to any one individual.

In this episode, we talk to Hugh from Nexus Mutual — a trailblazer of on-chain insurance. Hugh dives into the must-knows of personal security along and unpacks the complexities of how insurance is distributed on Ethereum.

We learned a ton! Hope you do too :)
