Insurance coverage active

Babylon Protocol's assessment for RD-F-089 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No active insurance coverage confirmed for $4.16B TVL. Nexus Mutual partnership announced 2025-04-28 for slashing protection development, but the product was described as still 'in development' at announcement — not live/purchasable. Nexus Mutual 20+ new cover listings page does not include Babylon. No Sherlock, Unslashed, or equivalent coverage found. To reach 5% green threshold, coverage would need to exceed $208M — substantially beyond typical Nexus Mutual single-protocol capacity. Red = no active coverage at $4.16B TVL. This is a structural gap for Bitcoin-native staking protocols on non-EVM infrastructure.
