We provide the technical and legal infrastructure over which stakeholders come together to capitalise and transfer risk on-chain.

By matching assets with liabilities, we reduce or eliminate currency risk on blockchain exposures; and by matching demand with much-needed supply, we bolster growth and stability within the blockchain ecosystem. We afford our customers – insurers, insureds, intermediaries, and investors – many other advantages of blockchain technology, including its efficiency, immutability, transparency, and composability.
