Slashing Insurance Mitigates Loss

The financial damages of a slashing event can be sizable – even catastrophic. Mitigating the costs of potential slashing penalties or network fines is the primary motivator for acquiring a Slashing Insurance policy.

Other benefits include:

Addressing investor concerns and demonstrating a commitment to risk management

• Satisfying contractual requirements that may mandate the purchase of such insurance

• Covering business interruption costs, such as missed returns, in the event of a slashing incident

• Protecting a business's balance sheet from the costs of defending against litigation related to a slashing event.
