About Amulet
Amulet is being created from scratch and is spearheaded by Rupert Barksfield, a serial entrepreneur with more than 15 years of expertise in the IT sector. Rupert began investing in crypto back in 2016 and under his leadership, Amulet is being developed with the goal of providing easy and dependable insurance to everyone in Web 3.0. The solution will be the first constructed on the Solana network, and it has been sponsored by Solana Ventures as aforementioned, who are also project investors.
Furthermore, Solana’s TVL has reportedly grown faster in the last year than even Ethereum (ETH), but there is presently no native insurance system, which means that Amulet shall be the first. In addition, to effectively address insurance-related difficulties, Amulet will employ a multi-chain strategy and expand into non-EVM-based ecosystems in the future as well.
In a nutshell, Amulet uses Solana’s PoS network to deliver consistent returns and insurance services through its own Protocol Controlled Underwriting and Future Yield Backed Claim mechanism, which reduces risk for underwriting capital providers. The product launch is scheduled for July and future goals include partnerships, continued development and further insurance offerings as well following the smart contract.
