Nexus Mutual Euler March 2023 Claim Payouts event

Event · PageRank 0.0008

Overview

After the March 2023 Euler Finance exploit, Nexus Mutual paid out roughly $2.39 million in claims under its Euler Finance protocol cover, with claims opening on 16 March 2023. The payout was one of the largest DeFi cover claims settled to that point and was cited as evidence that on-chain cover could function in a real loss event. The situation became unusual when the Euler attacker returned nearly all of the roughly $200 million stolen and Euler redistributed the recovered funds, leaving Nexus Mutual seeking refunds of around $2 million from claimants who were made whole twice.
