According to BlockBeats, on July 2, the insurance platform Athena Ins launched decentralized insurance for DeFi risks. The platform allows individuals to subscribe to insurance to protect their DeFi investments from various threats, including hacker attacks, smart contract vulnerabilities, and stablecoin depegging.

Unlike traditional insurance companies, Athena Ins operates through smart contracts, eliminating the need for centralized intermediaries, ensuring transparency and decentralization. Users can easily protect their deposits on DeFi protocols and receive compensation in the event of an insured accident.
