💻Tidal Tech Series - Capital Leverage

With Tidal Finance's product release approaching and the testnet launch just days away, we're starting a new educational series talking about unique features of Tidal Finance.

Capital leverage and efficiency is a core piece of Tidal’s design

💪Opportunity For DeFi Insurance

DeFi insurance's main use-case is to cover smart contract attacks and hacks, due to which >100 million USD were lost in 2020. If it costs 2% insurance premium to cover that $10 billion, Tidal can obtain 100% return through capital leverages and efficiency

✈️Core design: Capital Leverage in different risk categories

The Tidal's framework set at launch allows users to have up to 25x leverage depending on the protocols they want to sell cover for.

🚀Tidal Finance is delighted to join hands with APYSwap, a protocol for decentralized cross-chain exchange of shares of Tokenized Vaults.

This risk profile would be used to set premiums for different users based on sophisticated algorithms, prevent false filing attacks and make the voting process with accredited accounts more robust.
