Meet the Cozy v2 protocol, a protection marketplace for on-chain yield seekers. Now live on Optimism.

Ways to use Cozy

Hedge against risks like smart contract hacks by purchasing protection, or earn yields by providing protection. Don’t see the market you’re looking for? You can use the protocol to create markets yourself. Cozy v2 has the right market, at the right price, at any time.

Buying protection

If you’re a staker, lender, LP, or earning on-chain yield some other way, buying protection on Cozy can help protect your principle from tail risks like the billions of dollars lost in smart contract hacks every year.

Providing protection

Or if you’re a more advanced yield seeker comfortable with underwriting your own risks, providing protection on Cozy can help you earn high risk-adjusted yields.

Creating protection

Other venues for protection suffer from restrictive designs for price, payout, and risk management. Cozy v2 is designed with the philosophy that the best results come from permissionless creation and market forces. Anyone can create a basket of risk with markets that determine price and payout logic as they see fit, increasing the likelihood that a user finds the protection they need.
