InsurAce’s 2020 Review & 2021 Preview: Salute to our Bright Future

Year 2020 has been, unfortunately, a saddening period of time for basically all humankind. With pandemic plaguing, extreme weather, geopolitical conflicts along with many incidents troubling the world, there’s never been a time when people wish the year could be ended as promptly as possible. Yet, the year 2020 is an exciting and game-changing year for Blockchain and Cryptocurrencies, with Bitcoin hits all-time high by touching $29000 today, more and more traditional entities and institutions are embracing
cryptocurrencies more than ever before.

The future is bright yet the road ahead will be long.

On this last day of the year 2020, InsurAce team looks back at what we have accomplished and looks forward on how we could achieve in year 2021.

DeFi Hacks & loopholes posing severe threats

In 2020, we witnessed tremendous amount of losses in DeFi caused by hacking, code flaw, flash loan attacks, oracle defects. Hereunder is a short & partial list:

dForce: 25M$ of losses by a complex reentrancy attack
Harvest: 24M$ of losses by hacking
Pickle: 20M$ of losses due to code flaw
bZx: 10M$ of losses due to code flaw, flash loan attack and oracle manipulation
Origin: 7M$ of losses due to code flaw
Value: 6M$ of losses by flash loan attack

Even the leading insurance protocols providing covers for DeFi protocols failed in running away from security incidents.

Nexus Mutual founder Hugh Karp’s personal wallet got hacked.
Cover Protocol was hacked, causing millions of losses.

We feel sorry for all the losses incurred & victimizing so many crypto users. When saying goodbye to year 2020 and looking forward, InsurAce’s mission of providing the best cover products for DeFi users has never been compromised. We will be further working the product, bringing new values and innovation to DeFi and DeFi insurance protocols, enabling unique features such as enriched product line, leveled-up security measures and sustainable return mechanism. Furthermore, InsurAce will initiate a program offering protection for users’ assets security and assistance to the victims of cyber attacks.
