Insurance coverage active

Chainlink CCIP's assessment for RD-F-089 — scored red on the v1.7.0 rubric. The evidence below is the curator's reasoning for this score.

Evidence summary #

No active protocol-level insurance coverage found for Chainlink CCIP on Nexus Mutual, Sherlock, or Unslashed. At approximately $7B value-secured (Coinbase wrapped assets alone per 2025-12-11 announcement), no proportional cover exists. Nexus Mutual operates smart contract cover for individual user policies and integration partnerships with Chainlink (oracle data feeds for claims), but does not list CCIP as a covered protocol in its protocol cover listings. Sherlock is an audit-focused coverage program; no Chainlink CCIP listing found. This is near-default red for large-TVL bridge protocols per process-learnings: insurance at this scale does not exist in the DeFi insurance market.
