ether.fi, the leading onchain neobank for digital asset management, has selected <a href="https://nexusmutual.io" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Nexus Mutual</a> to provide crypto’s largest-ever ETH Slashing Cover. The cover protects <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">ether.fi</a>'s validators against up to 15,000 ETH worth of slashing penalties.
As ether.fi continues to see rapid adoption from both retail and institutional audiences, securing industry-leading protection against slashing risk for ether.fi users is critical. Over the last year, ether.fi has been systematically strengthening their stack across infrastructure, risk management, operational security and real-time defense systems.&nbsp;
Since ether.fi operates one of the largest validator sets on Ethereum, slashing is a real tail risk for them. By working with Nexus Mutual, ether.fi has mitigated this with protection that kicks in to secure against validator losses. This cover was calculated to protect ether.fi in even the most extreme scenarios and represents more than all historical losses from ETH slashing combined.
<blockquote>
 "We've always believed the safest protocols will ultimately win. That's why we've invested heavily in audits, operational security, staking architecture, and now the largest insurance program in the industry. We are excited to partner with Nexus Mutual to make this a reality,"&nbsp;said Mike Silagadze, Founder &amp; CEO of ether.fi.

<blockquote>
 "We've known the ether.fi team since before it was ether.fi, and they've been focused on risk from day one. Covering their users for up to 15,000 ETH in slashing penalties is a historic step, and we're proud they chose Nexus Mutual to take it with them," said Hugh Karp, Founder of Nexus Mutual.
