Mumbai, 19 Aug (HS): InfinityDAO,
an AI-based decentralized finance ecosystem, is preparing a proposed insurance
protection of up to US $1 billion for its IDL token and the entire ecosystem.
If the proposed programme is approved and implemented, it could be an important
step towards risk management and institutional trust in the digital asset
sector.
An InfinityDAO
spokesperson said Wednesday that the final policy, underwriting terms, coverage
limits and exclusions of the proposed insurance program have not yet been
determined. The arrangement is being worked out through a specialist crypto
insurance syndicate based in the UK. The proposed insurance system is planned
to cover five key areas. These include protection against default risk
associated with Dexter tokens in the circumstances set out in the policy,
platform default protection, coverage in the event of a scheduled failure or
insured default on the platform or its ecosystem, protection against loss from
theft of digital assets, cybercrime, unauthorized transfers, and other related
events covered by the policy, directors' and officers' protection, and
protection against management claims covered by the policy for eligible
directors and officers. This may also include situations involving certain
financial crises or insolvencies, and ecosystem and stakeholder protection:
additional protections within the scope set out for eligible users,
stakeholders, and interests associated with the platform's ownership and
management framework.
Investors and users
in the crypto industry face technology, custody, cybersecurity, and operational
risks. In this case, specialist digital asset insurance can become a means of
transferring some of the risk to the professional insurance market. However,
insurance does not guarantee the price, return on investment, liquidity, or
redemption value of a token. Coverage is limited to only those risks and
circumstances that are explicitly covered in the final policy.
