What is Covered?

In-line with Nexus Mutual’s terms and conditions, users who purchase custody cover through iTrust.insure integration on Hodlnaut will have their assets protected against the following risks:

• the custodian gets hacked and you lose more than 10% of your funds
• withdrawals from the custodian are halted for more than 90 days.

The product covers any token or combination of tokens users have in their Hodlnaut account. In case of a claim, users will receive the equivalent of their funds in ETH or DAI according to the purchased cover up to the covered amount.

The article has been updated to clarify that based on Hodlnaut's interpretation of Singapore's Laws, the custody cover provided by Nexus Mutual via iTrust on Hodlnaut’s platform is not legally defined as insurance.

Disclaimer: Hodlnaut would also like to highlight that iTrust and Nexus Mutual are not entities regulated by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), and Hodlnaut is not licensed by the MAS to provide the optional custody cover, nor licensed to itself carry on any regulated insurance activities. For the avoidance of doubt, Hodlnaut, in providing the option to purchase custody cover on its platform, is in no way providing an insurance product.

A major Breakthrough for Cryptocurrency Adoption

With $432 million in crypto stolen between January and April of this year alone, a sense of inertia has prevailed in the space when it comes to leaving large amounts of collateral on even the most reliable of platforms. 

A major innovation in cryptocurrency coverage offerings, led by Nexus Mutual, has allowed the industry to take great strides forward in terms of user asset protection. However, the gap in the user journey between depositing funds on one platform and locating and purchasing cover on another, has meant that many users have hitherto missed out on the attractive APY rates offered by Hodlnaut altogether. 

Previously, even Hodlnaut users who were fully aware of the benefits of Nexus Mutual’s offering would have had to take the extra steps of fulfilling the Mutual’s joining process, including payment of a membership fee and the completion of a KYC process in order to obtain cover. Also, there was the not-insignificant mental barrier inherent in purchasing cover on one platform that pertains to assets held on a completely different one.

iTrust.insure’s solution breaks down all of these barriers to adoption, opening the doors to a new wave of users seeking an easy way to protect their assets whilst earning the high yields on offer at Hodlnaut.

Peter, CEO of iTrust International commented: “It is a pleasure to work with both Hodlnaut and Nexus to integrate this cover, which I believe is an industry-first point of sale integration of insurance for a centralized exchange. A big step forwards in making the industry safer and increasing adoption.”

Hugh Karp, Founder, Nexus Mutual commented: “One of the biggest strengths in DeFi is its composable nature, meaning projects like iTrust can take what we’ve built at Nexus and use them in new ways, in this case, to massively improve the user experience for Hodlnaut users.”

Juntao Zhu, CEO and Co-founder, Hodlnaut, Commented: “Hodlnaut’s custody cover integration with iTrust aims to provide a hassle-free user experience for our valued customers. It also eliminates the impediment of going to a different platform altogether for purchasing the cover, thus further streamlining the process.”
