Parametric Risk Coverage · Solana · USDC

Weather risk, settled by data. Not by a claims adjuster.

Nimbus is a decentralized parametric risk protocol on Solana. Set a rainfall index, a threshold, and a payout amount. When the oracle confirms the trigger — USDC arrives automatically.

No claims process. No adjusters. No human decisions. This is not traditional insurance.

How Nimbus Works

Coverage in 4 steps. No paperwork. No trust.

Parametric coverage replaces subjective claim assessments with objective data. If the number crosses the line, you get paid. Period.

01

Select your region & peril

Choose a geographic zone and whether you need drought or flood protection. Coverage is tied to objective weather data — not your specific farm or property.

02

Set your index & threshold

Pick Sum, Mean, or Max rainfall measurement. Set a threshold: if the index crosses it, you're paid. Automatically. No paperwork.

03

Get a signed quote in seconds

Our off-chain engine generates a cryptographically signed quote valid for 120 seconds. Your premium is locked — no slippage, no surprise.

04

Automatic settlement

When your observation window ends, on-chain oracle data is compared to your threshold. If triggered, USDC lands in your wallet. No claims. No adjusters.

Index Methods Explained

Your measurement method changes your risk.

Three ways to measure rainfall. Each answers a different question about your exposure.

∑
SumWas there enough rain overall?

Total accumulated rainfall across the entire observation window. Best for seasonal crop insurance — you care about the whole growing season.

x̄
MeanWas it consistently dry (or wet)?

Average daily rainfall. Best for sustained drought — protects against long periods of below-average precipitation.

↑
MaxDid a single catastrophic event occur?

Single highest-rainfall day. Best for flash flood protection — one extreme event triggers the payout.

Drought Coverage– payout when rainfall is TOO LOW

Index stays below threshold → Payout triggered ✓

Flood Coverage– payout when rainfall is TOO HIGH

Index crosses above threshold → Payout triggered ✓
