DeFi Research Analyst

About OpenCover

OpenCover is the #1 source for DeFi cover data, news and insights.

With over $2.7 billion lost to DeFi exploits in 2022 alone, risk mitigation has become the fundamental bottleneck to wider DeFi adoption.

DeFi Cover (aka insurance) is a rapidly emerging industry with a critical lack of visibility.

OpenCover is assembling a world-class team of researchers, engineers and business leaders passionate about de-risking DeFi to drive the next wave of adoption.

OpenCover is backed by leading investors including NFX, Alliance, Village Global & OrangeDAO.
