What is AMU

1. Project Introduction
Amulet Protocol is a decentralized insurance protocol within the Solana ecosystem. The core features of Amulet V2 include Amulet Vaults and AmuShield, providing users with both yield opportunities and security protections. Users can deposit their assets into Amulet Vaults, which generate returns through predetermined yield strategies managed by smart contracts, such as PoS staking, liquid staking, and leveraged mining. AmuShield ensures asset security through 24/7 asset monitoring, an emergency response mechanism, and parameterized insurance services. It has established a dedicated fund called the "Amulet Safety Fund," which, during the early stages of Amulet V2, consists of $10 million in AMU tokens and protective fees collected from the returns generated by Amulet strategies. Amulet plans to introduce more security partners later to expand the safety fund. When AmuShield detects that the price of LP tokens has fallen below a predetermined normal range, the insurance mechanism will automatically activate, providing users with swift asset compensation.
Summary: In the crypto space, hacking incidents occur frequently, leading some users to seek ways to generate returns while effectively mitigating risks. Amulet V2 combines yield strategies with embedded insurance, offering a user-centric one-stop yield platform. The official website indicates that it currently supports four chains: Solana, Ethereum, Polygon, and Optimism, with Amulet Vaults supporting protocols like Convex, Velodrome, Idle, Lido, and Jito.
