Nexus Mutual has launched Protocol Cover for Curve LlamaLend, offering protection against smart contract risks.​ Users depositing collateral into LlamaLend can now purchase cover through Nexus Mutual on Ethereum mainnet or OpenCover on L2s.​ The coverage protects against losses due to smart contract hacks, oracle failures, severe liquidation issues, and governance attacks.​ This addition continues Nexus Mutual's recent trend of expanding coverage options, following similar launches for protocols like Spectra Finance and Credit Guild.​

πŸ›‘οΈ Hugh Karp: Why Traditional Insurance Can't Protect AI Agents

After seven years protecting DeFi and paying out over **$18.5M in valid claims**, Nexus Mutual founder Hugh Karp explains why traditional insurance models fail in the age of AI agents. The core issue: legacy insurers weren't designed for autonomous on-chain activity. As AI agents evolve from surfacing insights to executing deposits, rebalances, and claims directly on-chain, they need infrastructure built for verifiable execution, private data, and seamless interoperability. Karp hints that Nexus Mutual's next chapter addresses this gapβ€”potentially positioning the protocol as critical infrastructure for the emerging AI agent economy in DeFi.
