What's Amulet? πŸ€”

Amulet is a decentralized insurance platform designed for Rust-based ecosystems, starting with @solana

Amulet has designed an innovative and open insurance model to address common #DeFi insurance challenges and create a paradigm shift for the whole sector
2/x

Amulet is creating the industry's 1st Protocol-Controlled Underwriting (PCU) approach to combat fleeting capital

Amulet will build its own underwriting capabilities and introduce multiple layers of claims buffers to safeguard staked capital while providing claim payouts
3/x

Our vision is to offer simple, reliable insurance for everyone in #Web3, with the enjoyed elements of #DeFi πŸ™Œ

With Amulet, users in the entire #Rustbased ecosystem will gain access to a new way to hedge various risks with our insurance product offerings
4/x

Amulet will be providing users opportunities:

πŸ›‘οΈInsure
πŸ’ΈStake
πŸ’°Earn
5/x

Why is Amulet launching? πŸ€”

Since the summer of 2020, #DeFi has been unstoppable

TVL (Total Value Locked) has grown from $9.7b in September 2020 to $230b today πŸ“ˆ
6/x

With this growing market we’ve seen an increased demand for risk hedging
Crypto users often suffer loss from:

πŸ”“ Smart contract vulnerabilities
πŸ”“ Stablecoin de-peg risk
πŸ”“ Scams and rug pulls
πŸ”“ NFT hacks

And guess what? These issues are not going away‼️
7/x

In 2021 alone, nearly $3b was lost due to hacks and exploits πŸ‘Ž

Insurance has become the most prominent and effective way to manage these risks πŸ‘

BUT, only 2% of overall #DeFi TVL is covered by insurance. We think there’s room to grow πŸ“ˆ
8/x

Speaking of growth, Rust-based public chains are growing at nearly 5x the pace of @ethereum - that comes with a growth in attack vectors and the need for Amulet πŸš€
9/x

Our mission is achievable, but we're fully aware of the challenges #DeFi insurance protocols have in the confines of sustainability and growth including:

πŸ” Capital and User Acquisition
πŸ” Network Building
πŸ” Capital Management
πŸ” Claims Processing
10/x

Here is a breakdown of key design elements to address that πŸ‘‡

Amulet will:

πŸ“ˆ Use staked assets as the primary underwriting source while building up the treasury pool
11/x

πŸ“ˆ The growing treasury pool (from bonding and other revenues) increases PCUV, which will eventually be Amulet's primary underwriting source

πŸ“ˆ Built on Solana initially, Amulet will accept $SOL as a staking asset
12/x

πŸ“ˆ As an open platform, SOL derived widely used tokens such as $mSOL, $stSOL will also be accepted

πŸ“ˆ Mint an intermediatory underwriting token to be used for underwriting insurance products

πŸ“ˆ Set up trading pairs to enable trading and arbitrage
13/x

πŸ“ˆ Offer a wide range of individual products to cover various risk types with plans to expand to #NFT, #GameFi and #Metaverse products

πŸ“ˆ Use dedicated pricing models for different products

πŸ“ˆ Build up a product distribution network via partnerships, API integrations etc
14/x

πŸ“ˆ Build a hybrid claims process

πŸ“ˆ Adhere to strict capital management to ensure there are required assets for potential pay-outs
15/x
