Athena is a decentralized insurance protocol that uses ERC-721 tokens (NFTs) to represent liquidity positions and insurance covers, enabling detailed customization and efficient user interaction. Liquidity providers deposit ERC-20 tokens, receiving Position NFTs representing their stake, while cover buyers deposit premiums to receive Cover NFTs representing their insurance coverage. These NFTs store individualized data, allowing for flexible coverage limits, liquidity strategies, and seamless claim or withdrawal processes. By combining DeFi strategies with tokenized contracts, Athena ensures transparency, security, and user-friendly access to decentralized insurance solutions
