Insurance stands as one of finance’s foundational primitives—an essential scaffold that undergirds every major market from commodities to credit. Since the 1600s, no vibrant financial ecosystem has thrived without a robust insurance mechanism: market participants demand quantifiable measures of risk before committing capital.

As DeFi targets its next inflection point, embedding sophisticated, institution-grade insurance models will be critical to unlocking deep pools of capital and delivering enduring resilience.
