🛡️ 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 gap—potentially positioning the protocol as critical infrastructure for the emerging AI agent economy in DeFi.
