Insure your DAO's token rewards against price crashes with shared risk pools.
Crypto volatility renders promised token rewards worthless in web3 student loan DAOs, sparking user fury and mass exodus.
VoltiGuard lets DAO operators pool funds into insurance vaults that cover reward shortfalls from volatility, automatically paying out stablecoins to users if tokens drop below thresholds. Operators contribute premiums based on risk profiles, and smart contracts handle claims transparently. This builds user trust with guaranteed minimum value, preventing exodus.
