ZKSpace teams with blockchain security firms Tidal Finance under “Fund Shield,” which provides a flexible coverage plan worth $1 million TVL, covering smart contract risk with vetted auditing from Certik, slowmist and ABDK
ZKSwap, the Layer2 DEX sub brand under ZKSpaceumbrellaumbrella) announced today that it has launched Fund Shield, the latest level of protection designed to safeguard ZKSwap users and provide them access to secure tradings. Fund Shield is ZKSwap’s first endeavor to provide greater security to users of DEX trading platform. By funding the $1 million USD-worth coverage plan through Tidal Finance, the ZKSwap team is adding an additional safety layer to their users’ funds.
The current coverage plan covers hidden smart contract vulnerabilities that are deployed on the Ethereum network, including the recently launched L2 DEX. Malicious attacks and economic exploits resulting in ZKSwap users’ asset loss would qualify for a valid claim. Any valid payout amount will be directly paid to the ZKSwap team to recover ZKSwap users’ losses. For more general coverage policy wording, please refer to Tidal’s Gitbook Cover Policy section.
By having ZKSwap in the mutual cover pool, reserve providers on the Tidal platform could receive earnings, specifically through two ways:
1)Earning cover premium directly from ZKSwap’s cover plan
2)TIDAL token rewards through the Cover Mining Program*.
*Further collaboration will allow ZKSwap token holders to utilize native tokens to purchase coverage will be launched soon.
ZKSwap’s insurance fund program comes at a time when industry leaders are voicing the need for increased security measures. According to Elliptic, a cryptoasset risk management firm, the amount of money lost on DeFi from hacks and scams has grown from $1.5 billion in 2020 to $10.5 billion in 2021.
