InsureDAO - Builders Program Application

Dear Astar community, really glad to be here. I’m Motoki, a co-founder of InsureDAO. I would like to apply for the builder’s program with InsureDAO.

Project Overview

InsureDAO is a permission-less insurance platform. Users can purchase and underwrite insurance on the platform. Also, by allowing anyone to create insurance, we aim to cover every single risk in DeFi space. Additionally, we will offer a bug bounty and audit support program named the Security coverage package to support the pre-launch product.

Here are the basic links of our product.

InsureDAO has 3 functions, build, market, and lending.

As for insurance payment decisions, we use a 3rd party DAO named ReportingDAO consisting of security professionals such as QuantStamp and WatchPug.

InsureDAO Build
It is an Insurance builder kit for DeFi protocols. It allows DeFi protocols to issue insurance easily. We require inputting governance token and insurance type and depositing the initial liquidity.

InsureDAO Market
It is a two-sided market where buyers and sellers exchange hacking risks in the applications.
Users can be either buyers or sellers or both.

InsureDAO Lending(under development)
It is the lending function of using the underwritten USDC in InsureDAO. Borrowers can borrow USDC by depositing INSURE tokens as collateral. Underwriters can receive the interest paid from the borrowers in addition to INSURE token rewards.

In addition to the above, we will keep developing to add more features. For details, please see our roadmap described below.

Project goals

By providing insurance, bug bounty platform, and audit support to stabilize the whole Astar ecosystem. After launching, we are going to make a lot of partnerships with existing projects and pre-launch projects. As we are a well-experienced team, we provide these services smoothly.

How can InsureDAO benefit the Astar ecosystem?

As explained, InsureDAO is the insurance provider to lower the upcoming project risks. That means we can accelerate the project launch by underwriting the contract risks. At the time of dawn for new chains like Astar, it is quite difficult for users to judge which project is solid or not. InsureDAO can help users to avoid contract incidents by manipulating the power of insurance. We are sure that this might contribute to increasing the TVL as users do not have to take much care of the protocol risks compared with other chains.

Project roadmap

・Release the light version of InsureDAO(Only purchase function)
Users can purchase insurance of Arthswap and Starlay.
InsureDAO or (Arthswap and Starlay) team will deposit the USDC and underwrite the insurance.

What we would like to ask for

dAppStaking listing when we launch
Help networking
AMAs

We would like to use some portion of dApp staking rewards for underwriting farming rewards to show attractive rewards and bootstrap TVL as well as reserve in the InsureDAO reserve pool, which is the reserve fund for compensation when the insurance event occurs.

Security

To be a trustful project, we’ve already passed the security audit by 3rd party audit firm.
You can see our audit report below. We understand security is always important.

I have been working in many projects on Astar.

The most concern or the first question from users will be ‘Does Astar have Insurance Service?’

Sadly, at that time there was no such service.

Now after the discussion with team plus with audit, we could solve this along waiting service on Astar.

Thank you so much!
