The People Powering the Future of Risk Sharing
Welcome to Nexus Mutual DAO — the digital collective where people can join as members, buy cover, underwrite risk, assess claims, build risk management businesses, and more.
The Nexus Mutual DAO community is made up of people from all walks or life and experience levels. Whether you just started learning about DeFi last month or you’ve been active on chain for the last 10 years, Nexus Mutual was created for you.
We’ve put together resources for anyone interested in participating in our community. Learn more about Participating in the Mutual, Contributing to the DAO and Our Ecosystem.
Nexus Mutual DAO exists to support the decentralised development and growth of the Nexus Mutual protocol and ecosystem—because we believe risk protection is foundational in the future of finance. We operate through the voting power of our members—NXM holders who own the mutual and shape our future.
Nexus Mutual was founded by insurance expert Hugh Karp in 2018 and we launched our first product on Ethereum mainnet in May 2019 with the support of Nexus Mutual Foundation. Since then we’ve grown from a team of 2 to 14 full-time contributors and many part-time and ad-hoc contributors who work to serve our community of more than 9000 members.
Once you’re a Mutual member, you can participate within the protocol in a variety of ways:
- Buy cover and protect yourself
- Underwrite risk and earn NXM rewards
- Review claim submissions and vote as an assessor
- Create, run risk management businesses
