What is Nexus Mutual?
Nexus Mutual is a platform that has been built atop the Ethereum ecosystem and provides users with a variety of insurance-based offerings, powered by a large community of backers. One of the platform’s first products is the “Smart Contract Cover,” which is basically an insurance policy that covers users against certain smart contract vulnerabilities that they may be faced with when using a range of popular decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms. The platform’s native crypto offering, NXM tokens, are used for a variety of different internal processes such as membership management, voting and governance. Furthermore, it bears mentioning that since Nexus Mutual operates as a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO), users are required to possess NXM tokens in order to implement any changes within the platform.

What to consider when buying Nexus Mutual
- Unique business model: Nexus Mutual currently makes use of a unique business model referred to as a “discretionary mutual,” wherein the mutual can elect to pay claims at its discretion. The platform made its first payout last year after DeFi lender bZx’s native smart contract code was exploited by a group of hackers.
- UK-based entity: The platform is registered in the United Kingdom as a “limited by guarantee business,” usually given to non-profit organizations. Furthermore, since Nexus Mutual’s business operations are largely decentralized, the platform is owned entirely by its members.
- Low entry barrier: Anyone can make use of the platform to gain access to a wide array of insurance offerings. To make use of Nexus, users are required to purchase NXM tokens that they can then leverage in order to acquire coverage as well as participate in the protocol’s native governance processes.
- Purchase and operational limitations: Unlike a wide array of cryptocurrencies, NXM tokens cannot be bought via regular cryptocurrency exchanges and are only available for purchase via the official Nexus Mutual platform. The tokens can only be swapped among members of the ecosystem, but can also be traded and sold as usual outside the ecosystem in the form of wrapped tokens (WNXM).
- Wide coverage possibilities: In addition to providing users with coverage against smart contract hacks and cold wallet compromises, the platform also offers traditional offerings such as insurance against earthquakes and thefts.
