伦敦劳合社(Lloyd’s of London)拥有三百多年的历史,现通过以太坊公链提供数字资产保护保险。这些保险可以用加密货币在链上直接支付,简化了中介繁重的纸面工作,提高了效率。Evertas 和智能合约保险提供商 Nayms 在这一过程中起到了关键作用。

伦敦劳合社是世界上最著名的保险市场之一,成立于 1686 年。作为一个全球性保险和再保险市场,劳合社并不是一家保险公司,而是一个由多个保险公司和个人承保人组成的市场,这些成员被称为「Names」。劳合社为承保各种风险提供平台,包括航运、航空、自然灾害等复杂和高风险领域。

劳合社的独特之处在于其承保方式和运作模式。每个承保人(或称为「成员」)通过劳合社的辛迪加(Syndicate)承保风险,这些辛迪加由经理公司(Managing Agent)管理。劳合社的结构允许承保人将风险分散给多个成员,从而提高了承保能力和稳定性。

Evertas 是一家专注于加密货币领域的保险平台,最近获得了伦敦劳合社(Lloyd’s of London)的承保人资格,成为第一个为数字钱包产品提供保险的劳合社承保人。这一资格使 Evertas 能够在不同地区和特定领域编写和管理保单,并代表劳合社成员公司 Arch Insurance 编写保单。Arch Insurance 也是 Evertas 承保人申请的赞助商。

劳合社美洲区总裁 Hank Watkins 表示:「批准 Evertas 的承保人申请,是 Arch Insurance 与其新分销合作伙伴合作的成果,这一创新方案旨在促进一个因缺乏风险转移选项而受阻的行业的增长。」

Evertas 首席执行官 J. Gdanski 表示他们的目标是让使用公共区块链基础设施的人能够与传统法币机构无缝对接。无论是用 USDC 还是本地加密货币支付,或者将保单完全放在链上,区块链都能帮助协调经纪人、被保险人和保险公司之间的工作。

Nayms 是一个数字市场,专注于将经纪人和承保人与加密资本投资连接起来,其名字源于劳合社的「Name」,即那些在劳合社承保风险的个人和公司。Evertas 还为保管人、交易所和比特币矿业提供保险。去年,Evertas 收购了矿业保险专家 Bitsure,并为每个加密矿场提供高达 2 亿美元的保单限额。

Evertas 的欧洲承保负责人 Nick Selby 表示他们在承保过程中引入了加密领域的专业知识,深入了解所承保的风险,从而可以明确承保范围,并且能更快地支付理赔。

具体产品

据 Aiying 艾盈获悉目前他们提供六种主要保险产品,详细介绍如下:

1. 矿业财产保险

保护矿业硬件和设施免受物理损害。这类保险专门为比特币矿场设计,涵盖因火灾、洪水、地震等自然灾害导致的设备损坏和业务中断。保单限额最高可达 3.6 亿美元。

2. 平台故障保险

针对因技术错误(如软件或硬件故障)导致的损失提供保护。这类保险帮助企业应对系统崩溃、服务器故障和其他技术问题,确保在发生技术故障时的财务安全,保额最高可达 1000 万美元。

3. 盗窃 / 丢失犯罪保险

保护数字资产和现金免受外部恶意行为和攻击导致的盗窃、丢失或损坏。这类保险覆盖所有类型的数字资产存储方式,包括冷存储、温存储和热存储,确保在发生外部攻击时的资产安全。

4. 内部盗窃 / 丢失保险

针对内部员工和合同工导致的数字和物理资产的盗窃、丢失或损坏提供保护。这类保险旨在防范内部威胁,确保企业在面对内部不法行为时能够得到补偿。

5. 董事和高管责任保险

保护公司领导层免受第三方法律诉讼的影响,包括董事和高管的责任,公司赔偿及公司责任。此类保险确保在法律诉讼和合规问题上,董事和高管的财务安全,保额最高可达 1000 万美元。

6. 数字财产保险

保护 NFT 等数字资产免受丢失或盗窃,并解决定价挑战。这类保险考虑每个资产的独特性和稀有性,确保在发生盗窃或丢失时能够准确评估和补偿损失。

From Corning to Ciena: The 10X Stock Opportunities in the AI Optical Communication Chain

From Copper to Light: The AI-Driven Optical Communication Supply Chain and Investment Opportunities The exponential data demands of AI are pushing data centers beyond the physical limits of copper cables, forcing a critical transition to optical communication. This shift from electrical to photonic signals over distances greater than ~3 feet solves heat, power, and bandwidth constraints. The real investment opportunity lies not just in headline chipmakers, but across the entire essential photonics supply chain. **Key Investment Layers & Companies:** * **Glass & Fiber:** **Corning** is a dominant, irreplaceable supplier of advanced fiber to all major cloud/AI players (Meta, Amazon, Google, MSFT, OpenAI, NVIDIA), with multi-billion-dollar, multi-year contracts locked in years ahead of delivery. Its profit growth (93%) far outpaces revenue growth (36%), showing pricing power. * **Interconnects:** **Amphenol**, a consolidating giant in high-speed connectors (both copper and optical), shows robust growth (>80% in AI data centers) and expanding margins post-acquisition. **Credo Technology** bridges old and new worlds, extending copper's life in racks while moving into optics. It has hyper-growth but carries high customer concentration risk. * **Systems:** **Ciena** is a leader in coherent optics, enabling massive data capacity upgrades on existing fiber. It has a massive, growing order backlog ($~7B) and strong ties with cloud providers. * **Upstream & Enablers:** **AXT** produces mission-critical indium phosphide wafers for lasers, creating a supply bottleneck, but faces significant geopolitical/export license risk from its China-based manufacturing. **VEO Solutions** is the essential "picks and shovels" play, providing test equipment needed by every component in the optical chain, regardless of the eventual winner. A new pure-play photonics ETF (**FOTO**) offers a consolidated investment vehicle for this theme, though it is new and small. The core thesis is clear: the move from copper to light is inevitable and accelerating, with wealth creation spreading across this critical, multi-layered supply chain.

A Chip Company Releases AIDC Energy Storage Certification Standards. Why NVIDIA? Computing Power Reshapes Power Supply Logic. Who's in the Lead and Who's Left Out?

NVIDIA has released a "Battery Energy Storage System Self-Certification Guide," setting strict technical standards for energy storage systems specifically for AI data centers (AIDC). The guide focuses solely on certifying the Power Conversion System (PCS), not the batteries, with 10 mandatory performance metrics and 12 validation tests requiring real-world and simulation comparisons. Key requirements include rapid dynamic response to AI workloads, high-frequency system telemetry, and detailed electromagnetic transient models. The move is driven by the extreme and fluctuating power demands of next-generation AI hardware. Modern AIDCs require energy storage systems to act as intelligent, controllable grid assets, not just passive backup, to manage instantaneous, massive power load shifts that traditional UPS systems cannot handle. This redefines the competitive landscape for energy storage providers, shifting focus from capacity and cost to advanced control capabilities and system integration. While the market potential is significant—with forecasts of hundreds of GWh in new demand by 2030—the certification creates a high barrier to entry. It requires proven PCS delivery volumes and credible plans for rapid capacity scaling, favoring established, well-resourced players. Early movers like Fluence (partnering with Siemens) and several Chinese companies have secured projects ahead of the standard, but new entrants must now navigate this rigorous, costly, and time-intensive certification process to compete in the AIDC energy storage market.
