Atomica is building autonomous algorithmic products to pool, buy, and sell DeFi risks.

From 2018 Atomica has run a number of experiments in risk mitigation and risk transfer area, deployed such products as Graceful Unwinding for Maker Vaults protection, Smart Contracts Protection MVP. Currently we are actively working on two products: Atomica Liquidation Markets and Atomica Risk Markets.

Atomica Liquidation Markets (ALM) – a set of Ethereum smart contracts, aimed to create and run non-custodial liquidity pools to participate in collateral liquidations on DeFi Platforms as a keeper. Another important objective of ALM is to be a buyer of last resort in times of liquidity shortage, or extreme stress of collateral auctions and/or underlying network such as Ethereum. The ALM also includes a set off chain APIs to monitor liquidations and user interfaces for liquidity providers to track contributions and pools performance. The product is launched this year and available here.

Atomica Risk Markets (ARM) – a generic, Ethereum based protocol which allows to transfer risks by bootstrapping multilayered risk pools: first-loss pool, second-loss pool and reinsurance pool which provides leverage. Insureds transfer the risks by buying a policy. The ARM is using a dynamic pricing model that calculates premium depending on capital availability. Product supposes fully automated and semi-automated payouts depending on a particular risk pool business rules (defined and approved by Claim DAO). Liquidity providers buy risks with intent to get yield by adding into their portfolio an uncorrelated asset. The product includes user interface for risk market creation, buying policy, deposit and withdraw capital, tracking risk pool performance. Off chain APIs track pools state and provide data for pool performance charts. The MVP is deployed to testnet Rinkby and available here.
