Onchain losses have already hit $1.9B in 2026
If you’re active in DeFi, it’s crucial to have the right risk management in place:
- What are the latest risk trends?
- Which of those risks are you exposed to?
- Are you protected against them?
📗⤵️
This is a great read from @stablewatchHQ - a deep dive on the state of protection for onchain yield 📄
What can we learn from TradFi, what is the protection like today, and where is it going tomorrow?

Crypto's largest-ever ETH Slashing Cover is here
@ether_fi has selected Nexus Mutual to protect its validators against up to 15,000 ETH in slashing penalties
@ether_fi runs one of the largest validator sets on Ethereum, so slashing isn't a theoretical tail risk
This cover was structured to hold up in even the most extreme scenarios, and it represents more than all historical #ETH slashing losses combined
Protection built for institutional scale
"We've always believed the safest protocols will ultimately win. That's why we've invested heavily in audits, operational security, staking architecture, and now the largest insurance program in the industry. We are excited to partner with Nexus Mutual to make this a reality," said @MikeSilagadze, Founder & CEO of @ether_fi
"We've known the https://t.co/c0M0IMKoKi team since before it was https://t.co/c0M0IMKoKi, and they've been focused on risk from day one. Covering their stakers for up to 15,000 ETH in slashing penalties is a historic step, and we're proud they chose Nexus Mutual to take it with them," said @HughKarp
