Here are several highlights:

Let’s dive into some details!

Smart Cover System Launch

The Smart Cover System was launched following multiple audits. This allows DeFi users to get Pay As You Grow smart coverage.

Visit https://armor.fi/protect, connect a wallet and the integrated Zapper.fi API will detect all assets in the wallet that can be covered. The cover is perpetual, and can be adjusted or even canceled at any moment without penalty. The user pays per second; the costs are taken from a refundable deposit.

Once a users assets have changed in composition or amount, the system will propose a change to have assets fully covered again.

Armor Alliance Big Bug Bounty Challenge

In the quest to make DeFi safer, Armor announced the Big Bug Bounty Challenge in partnership with Immunefi, who hosts and manages the program for participants, to pioneer a more proactive and thorough approach to securing protocols and addressing vulnerabilities.

How Does The Big Bug Bounty Challenge Work?

  • The partner protocol launches a bug bounty program with Immunefi and establishes $50,000 as the minimum base reward value for critical bugs according to Immunefi’s Severity Classification System.
  • Armor will match the maximum critical bug bounty reward up to a total base maximum payout of $250,000, bringing the final maximum payout up to $500,000. All payouts higher than the base maximum payout would have the extra payment be paid by Armor in $ARMOR with a vesting schedule of up to 24 months.
  • Armor will provide matching rewards only if Armor has confirmed the protocol is an accepted partner in the Armor Alliance and the bug fits the predetermined criteria.

The full announcement and further details of the program such as the application form can be found here on the blog.

Armor V2 Draft WhitePaper Reveal

Based on insights from contributors and active community members, Armor shared its draft V2 whitepaper!

The initial Armor ecosystem launch 2 months ago has been a great success. Armor has sold over 1 Billion in cover and over 11,500 DeFi users are now Armor holders.

The DeFi space is growing exponentially and Armor is innovating to lead the path for coverage solutions. Armor is also constantly refining and redefining the current and upcoming products to further increase utility for DeFi.

What started as a roadmap and rewards restructuring discussion has turned into a full V2 Draft WhitePaper based on community feedback and data collected since launch.

Armor invites the community to read the full details of the proposed V2 of the ecosystem and the proposed changes, roadmap and new products and to share their feedback on these here on the new governance forum.

  • Respected Crypto Research Publication The Palm Beach Confidential Report featured Armor. The full 25-page report is only available to paid subscribers, however here is a short excerpt:

“Armor is already miles ahead of the competition. And I’m not talking about just DeFi competitors. Its model is putting the traditional brokers you already use to shame. This tells me when real-world assets get tokenized in the near future, Armor will gobble up market share left and right (…) With Armor being the best insurance aggregator in the space, we expect it to capture the most market share”.
