Problem
Companies operating with digital assets face unique risks, including smart contract vulnerabilities, custody risks, and regulatory uncertainty, which are often inadequately addressed by traditional insurance offerings. The evolving landscape of Web3 and decentralized finance (DeFi) requires specialized coverage that can adapt to emerging threats and provide comprehensive protection for digital assets and crypto-native businesses.
Solution
Native provides a comprehensive insurance and risk management platform tailored for digital asset companies, bridging the gap between traditional insurance and the decentralized world. The platform offers a range of services, including risk management consulting, binder broking, and risk assessment, alongside specialized insurance products such as custody insurance, smart contract cover, and crypto-denominated policies. Native leverages on-chain capital and partnerships with regulated insurance companies to deliver innovative risk transfer solutions, including mutuals and captives, designed for the unique needs of the crypto industry. Through the Native Network, insurance brokers gain access to exclusive products, a $20 million on-chain syndicate, and tools to navigate the complexities of digital asset insurance.
Target Audience
Native's primary customers include crypto-native businesses such as exchanges, custodians, DeFi protocols, NFT projects, Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions, as well as traditional financial institutions engaging with digital assets. The platform also targets insurance brokers seeking to expand their offerings with specialized crypto insurance products and access onchain capital.
