Bridge Insurance, crypto’s first production-ready product designed to safeguard users against the risks associated with bridging transactions. As LIFI announced their Partnership with InsurAce.

Bridge Insurance addresses the risks associated with using cross-chain bridges by providing 100% protection for users against the risks of losing funds while using these platforms.

The Details

To kick things off, Bridge Insurance is live on Jumper.Exchange, and is an opt-in for Jumper users.

The Bridge Insurance fee will be a small fraction of a user’s bridge amount, typically between 0.1–0.5% depending on the underwriter’s risk profile.

To purchase Bridge Insurance for your transaction, simply flip the Bridge Insurance switch on Jumper and press ‘Start Swap’ after you have filled in your transaction details.

The Future of Bridging Is Insured

Although cross-chain bridges have been a significant technological advancement and are crucial in enabling connectivity between blockchains, they are complex systems with many moving parts. Despite their utility, ensuring the security of these systems is an ongoing challenge. As a result, users are worried another bridge hack could be just around the corner, leading to stressful experiences.
