InsureDAO is a decentralized peer-to-pool DeFi insurance protocol that allowed users to create, offer, buy, and underwrite insurance, though a co-founder disclosed in January 2024 that the team had decided to pivot away from the smart-contract insurance business beginning in 2023. InsureDAO's Twitter Score is 9.4 out of 1000 as of July 2026, ranking #108,160 among 531,432 tracked accounts.
InsureDAO was co-founded by Kohshi Shiba, Motoki Takahashi, and Rubio Kishigami as a permissionless protocol deployed across Ethereum, Optimism, and Astar. The protocol completed a private seed round raising $1,000,000 in June 2021, backed by NGC Ventures, LD Capital, Exnetwork Capital, Arkstream Capital, Genblock Capital, and several other investors. A second version launched on Optimism in October 2022, adding 15 protocol covers and an underwriting mining mechanism.
InsureDAO's native token, INSURE, served as both a governance and incentive instrument, with users able to lock it for veINSURE voting and boosting power. Per market-data provider CoinLore, INSURE price data ceased after April 25, 2023, with the token now labeled inactive. Community delisting proposals on Astar subsequently reported no activity for the protocol on any of its deployed chains.
InsureDAO has published 650 posts on the platform and has 12,720 followers as of July 2026. The account has been mentioned by 38 accounts, with 89 total mentions.
