Insurance coverage active

Hyperliquid'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 third-party insurance coverage found on Nexus Mutual, Sherlock, Unslashed, or equivalent for Hyperliquid. Protocol relies on self-insurance via the Hyper Foundation treasury and HLP vault reserves. TVL at assessment date: $4.73B. No external cover contract identified. This is the single red factor driving Cat 5 yellow rollup. Self-insurance is not equivalent to third-party coverage; treasury coverage of a $13.5M HLP loss is materially smaller than the $4.73B exposure.
