Securing the Future: Blockchain-based Digital Insurance for Smart Contract Failures

By integrating AI-powered audits with a token-staking insurance model, Veritas Protocol creates a symbiotic relationship between security analysis and financial protection. This innovative approach not only safeguards projects against potential exploits but also encourages ongoing commitment to smart contract security best practices.

The Veritas Protocol insurance pool aims to redefine DeFi security through a system that is:

• Transparent: Community-driven DAO reviews ensure fair claim assessments.

• Incentivized: Continuous staking rewards encourage long-term participation.

• Sustainable: Multi-source funding and retained stakes support ongoing pool growth.

• Comprehensive: From initial audit to potential claim payout, the system provides end-to-end security solutions.

Insurance Pool Architecture

1. Smart Contract Audit and Eligibility:

   • Projects submit their smart contracts for an automated or manual audit by Veritas.

   • Contracts that receive a "high" security grade become eligible for insurance coverage.

   • This process contributes to the Protocol Activity Fees, which in turn support the Insurance Pool.

2. Insurance Opt-In:

   • Eligible projects can opt into insurance coverage.

   • To activate coverage, projects stake a chosen amount of $VPT tokens in the Veritas insurance pool smart contract.

   • The staked amount determines the coverage limit for the project.

3. Funding the Pool:

   • Primary Funding: Project stakes in $VPT tokens.

   • Secondary Funding: Protocol Activity Fees from audits and other Veritas services.

   • This dual funding approach ensures a robust and sustainable insurance reserve.

4. Staking Rewards:

   • Projects earn continuous staking rewards on their staked $VPT tokens.

   • These rewards incentivize long-term participation and commitment to security.

5. Claim Process:

   • In the event of an exploit, affected projects can submit an insurance claim.

   • Claims undergo a thorough DAO review to assess validity.

   • The DAO validates the claim and determines the appropriate payout amount, ensuring transparency and fairness.

6. Payout Mechanism:

   • Valid claims trigger compensation payouts from the insurance pool funds.

   • Payouts provide immediate liquidity to affected projects.

   • Importantly, the project's staked tokens remain in the pool, continuing to earn staking rewards.

7. Sustainable Pool Growth:

   • The combination of project stakes, ongoing fee contributions, and retained stakes after payouts allows for sustainable pool growth.

   • This model balances risk coverage with long-term ecosystem development.
