Tidal Finance is excited to announce a collaboration with Edgeware. Tidal will play an important role in making Edgeware insurance-ready for the tentative future of an open society where DeFi bridges all major ecosystems. The concept of Dual-security insurance will become a reality through Tidal. Tidal’s insurance cover protocol will get liquidity from ecosystem users as well as Edgeware’s on-chain treasury making it more resilient to flash loan-based attacks. This will be deployed on Edgeware EVM architecture with an upcoming Tokyo Network upgrade adding EVM compatibility to Edgeware.

Under this partnership, Edgeware will utilize the TIDAL model to help manage risk for their platform. Tidal will provide insurance cover for Edgeware’s users’ assets and help Edgeware’s insurance fund earn yield.

“I am excited to work with Edgeware to offer mutual cover pools to increase their users’ confidence when transacting on the Edgeware platform,” said Tidal founder Chad Liu.

“Tidal’s insurance cover protocol can get liquidity from ecosystem users as well as a proposal to Edgeware’s on-chain treasury making it more resilient to flash loan-based attacks,” said Edgeware council member Dillon Chen.

Tidal chose to form a partnership with Edgeware because it is one of the highest performing self-upgrading WASM smart contract platforms in the Polkadot ecosystem. The team has shown their commitment to the community by giving away >90% of the network to build a strong initial community via a ‘lockdrop.’ Edgeware has committed to pioneering innovation by committing to being a testbed for mechanisms like on-chain identity, quadratic voting, and modular governance among other things.

Together, Tidal and Edgeware look forward to a long-term mutually beneficial relationship.
