It is a platform that allows people to share risk together and eradicates the requirement of any centralised insurance company. This London based platform was established in the year 2017 and was founded by Hugh Karp. Furthermore, the entire risk-sharing platform is managed by the users themselves who decide which proposals are valid and enact upon them using the smart contracts. Moreover, The membership rights of all the members are safeguarded by legal agreements.

Hence, the total locked value of Nexus stands at $10 million. As per the DeFi pulse rankings, Nexus Mutuals is in the 19th position just after Loopring whose total locked value is $11.1 million. DeFi Pulse provides insightful rankings of DeFi protocols. It refreshes the total value locked (TVL) every hour by calculating the Ether (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens balance in the DeFi protocols.
