Nexus Mutual, a decentralized insurance protocol, leverages a community-driven model to manage risks, but its solvency against black swan events raises concerns. Operating on Ethereum, it uses a capital pool and the Solvency II framework to calculate coverage for extreme risks. While its market-based risk pricing and diversified cover products enhance resilience, the protocol’s capital pool may face strain during unprecedented events due to limited scale compared to traditional insurers. Historical losses, like those on Maple Finance, highlight vulnerabilities. Although transparent and innovative, Nexus Mutual’s ability to withstand black swan events depends on growing its capital base and refining risk assessment. Continuous stress testing and member contributions are critical to ensuring solvency in extreme scenarios.
