Smart contract insurance is vital for DeFi risk management, mitigating losses from hacks and bugs. Platforms like Nexus Mutual and InsurAce offer decentralized coverage, enhancing user trust. Nexus Mutual dominates with $288M TVL, while InsurAce provides multi-chain, cost-effective solutions. Their investment value lies in growing DeFi adoption and rising hack incidents ($3B lost in 2022). However, market volatility and regulatory risks persist. These projects are poised for growth as DeFi matures, offering investors exposure to a niche but critical sector.
