About Tidal Finance
Tidal Finance is a project to establish a decentralized insurance marketplace in DeFi space to connect insurance sellers and buyers to cover smart contract hacks risk. Tidal offers the functionality to create custom insurance pools for one or more protocols. The main objective of the platform is to maximize capital efficiency and return to attract reserve providers while offering competitive insurance premiums to attract buyers. As DeFi becomes mainstream, individuals and institutions need assurances that their investment of value into these new protocols are protected. As with any new technology, smart contracts are susceptible to hacks and manipulations. In order to increase the adoption of DeFi instruments, confidence in these protocols must be increased. Tidal solves this problem in a way that is economically attractive to users of DeFi protocols, transparent, profitable for s, decentralized, and scalable.

Nexus Mutual
Nexus Mutual uses the power of Ethereum so people can share risk together without the need for an insurance company. Secure risk and potential bugs in smart contract code. Be covered for events like The DAO hack or Parity multi-sig wallet issues. Nexus Mutual is run entirely by its members. Only members can decide which claims are valid. All member decisions are recorded and enforced by smart contracts on the Ethereum public blockchain. Smart Contract Cover is not a contract of insurance. Fellow members will decide on claims. Claims payments are enforced by token driven economic incentives rather than placing trust in an insurance company. Tokenisation of the mutual enables a scalable way to raise risk capital, with the model encouraging an inflow of funds only when required. The token price is linked to the adoption and underlying performance of the mutual, rather than speculation.
