they missed out on ErgoHack VII?
I need a team for a startup to create insurance protocols for investing, there are several ways to build out insurance contracts and they just need to be developed, will they get used? I dunno, but it would be pretty cool to buy into an ErgoPad project and know that at the damn least you are only risking a % you are comfortable with, same apply's to Duckkpools and Sigmafi, I would like to see Insurance developed for Exle though, where my heart is.
Arent options basically insurance for trading
I dunno, I don't think so cause you can buy into options for say like Corn and then a bumper crop year happens and the Corn is sold for less than you bought in for so your investment was not actually secured cause you would likely lose money if the Corn sells for less than your option contract.
A lender utilizing Ergo contracts could make a loan for say 10%, submit it to an insurance contract and pay say 20% of the expected ROI and have repayment guaranteed by the Insurance contract - hence gaining a gamble free 8% ROI on lending funds.
[@liquid_phase] I am not an expert, but i like allegory and thought experiments. buying an option is buying a right to purchase or sell at a rate given now. In the idea of crops, you might buy option to pourchase corn which hasnt grown yet at a fraction of the cost you'd buy harvested corn. The risk being, the corn might not be fruitful, might get blight, etc. in which case, you don't need to actually exercise the right to buy the corn, you just lose what you bought the option for. It might also work out better, such as if your corn option ended up getting Corn Smut, a rare fermented delicacy fungus, then your normal corn call option would be worth alot more when exercised.
