How it works

The risk is new. The market that prices it is over 300 years old.

Digital-asset risk is placed where the capacity actually lives — the Lloyd's subscription market — across syndicates, not on one balance sheet. We connect you with the FCA-authorised brokers who do that placement, and prepare you for it.

Lloyd's is a marketplace, not a single insurer. Your authorised broker prepares a slip that summarises the risk, the terms and the total limit. A lead underwriter negotiates and signs for a share; following syndicates subscribe to the rest. Large limits are built across multiple A-rated lines — the certificate stands behind the carrier, who is named to you.

znobia gets you in front of the right authorised broker from the first email — no call centre, no product pulled off a shelf. We know who writes digital-asset risk and how they price it, so your submission lands well.

What moves your rate

  • Multi-signature (M-of-N)No single key can move funds; signing is distributed and quorum-based.
  • MPC key-shardingKeys are split so no party ever holds a complete signing key.
  • Withdrawal whitelistingFunds can only leave to pre-approved, time-locked destinations.
  • Segregated custodyClient assets held apart from operational balances and each other.
  • Hardware & site securityHSMs, geographically distributed vaults, GPS and CCTV controls.
  • Governance & audit historyDocumented controls, clean audits and financial health price in your favour.
How it works

From submission to bound, without the translation tax.

You talk to people who understand custody architecture — not a call centre reading from a script.

STEP 01

Share your risk profile

Operational controls, custody model and exposure — through a structured submission we actually read.

STEP 02

We introduce you to the market

We connect you with the FCA-authorised broker and carriers built for your risk; they structure the programme and return indicative terms in plain language.

STEP 03

They bind; you stay covered

The authorised broker arranges and binds the cover. You get clear wordings, a named contact, and a claims-notification path that works.

How we read the risk

One asset base. Four loss vectors.

Ronin lost ~$624M to five compromised validator keys. Bybit lost ~$1.5B from a hot wallet. We map your custody and treasury surface to the ways value actually leaves — and connect you with the broker and line built for each. The dotted path is the smart-contract gap the market can't yet price.
