    DeFi needs Insurance; No one wants it! UNN.Finance 2 $650mm Hacks • $3.8bn in cryptocurrency hacks occurred in 2022. • 2023 is on pace to surpass these numbers. • Euler Finance is among the latest in a long line of hacks to occur in 2023. Euler was exploited for $196 Million in March 2023. CeDeFi Failures • Since 2022, over $70bn lost across various CeDeFi network, protocol and business failings (e.g.: FTX, Celsius, Voyager, Terra). • Close to 90% having insurable circumstances. Importance • Robust protection products are required for continued retail growth and institutional adoption. • As measured by Coinmarketcap.com, the DeFi “Insurance” sector has a Market Cap of ~$600mm, compared to ~$49bn in TVL.

    … because DeFi Protection Protocols Fail! UNN.Finance 3 • Policies are difficult to use and purchase; their value is difficult to understand. • Narrow scope of coverage and centralized teams who must manually assess risks for coverage. • Aggressively levered underwriting capital leads to insolvency. Further use of trading tokens for policy liquidity adds to additional hazards. • Inefficient pricing models. • Insufficient liquidity for demand. • Policy underwriters are trapped in positions for the duration of contracts. • Operational hazards of behaving like unlicensed insurers instead of decentralized match makers. DAOs are not sufficient operating protection for “insurance-lite” offerings. • They fail to pay because of unreliable governance and misaligned adjudication incentives.

Proprietary & Confidential. All Rights Reserved. 20 In DeFi, the value of a protocol is often judged by its total value locked (TVL) in contracts. Generally Market Capitalization/TVL is very low, suggesting that there is little differentiating value in a protocol apart from the tokens pledged to its purpose. UNION has an abnormally large MC/TVL for a token with sub $1mm MC. We call this Brand Equity – a solid platform for building forward! Adoption Differentiating Value
