About Us

The DeFi community has rallied around an identity of rebellion, innovation and disruption
Knowing that the future of finance is onchain
A promise of greater accessibility, utility and efficiency
Of great rewards and freedom from the restrictions of the old guard

But progress comes with volatility
Massive expansion comes with uncertainty
As DeFi grows and evolves, order and balance must be cultivated
Without sacrificing the values and benefits that made it so special in the first place

Where degens and traditional financiers can share a seat at the winners’ table
Where great returns don’t have to come with great uncertainty
Where black swan events don’t spell doom for the entire system

We open up new markets and possibilities
Empowering sophisticated trading and expanding onchain credit
But when chaos inevitably pokes its head
We help protect and preserve the integrity of ecosystems

We are not just an insurance policy for pegged assets
We are a primitive that builds in a better way to price risk
Leading the way for the growth of DeFi as it evolves and matures
Changing business as usual for the better

Cork
The risk pricing protocol for better DeFi
