Neptune Mutual, a multi-chain decentralized cover protocol, announced that it has raised a $3M strategic round led by Animoca Brands. Other investors in this round also included Pacific Century Group, Genesis Block Ventures, Fundamental Labs, GSR, Cambium Grove Capital, and a number of other funds.
Neptune Mutual uses parametric cover models to protect user funds from exploits ofย cryptocurrency exchanges, custody providers, smart contracts, and also metaverse projects.

With investments in over 150 metaverse and NFT projects, Animoca Brands is the leading global player in building and supporting open metaverse projects that bring digital property rights to online users.ย Play-to-earn and creatorโs economy models areย underpinning a fair and equitable digital framework in which the value of virtual assets is growing rapidly; a solution for protecting these assets is considered a vital part of the metaverse ecosystem.
Yat Siu, the executive chairman and co-founder of Animoca Brands, said, โAsย netizens build their digital properties and social identities in the open metaverse, and as these assets become more valuable, risk mitigation solutions become a necessity.ย We support Neptune Mutualโs initiative to bring decentralized cover solutions to the metaverse and trust the teamโs capability to contribute to aย safer and better protected environment for the overall crypto ecosystem.โ
Binod Nirvan, the founder of Neptune Mutual, said, โItโs our privilege to gain the trust and support of Animoca Brands, thought leaders in the space of the creators’ economy. Neptune Mutual shall endeavor to deliver an efficient, reliable and easy-to-use solution for creators to safeguard the value of their NFTs and other virtual assets in the metaverse.โ
