Could an Insurance-like Derivative Contract Be Created to Hedge against the Financial Loss from Pool Downtime Due to a DDoS?

Yes, a custom over-the-counter (OTC) derivative could be created to hedge against DDoS-related downtime loss. This contract would be structured like a business interruption insurance policy, with a payout triggered if the pool's uptime drops below a certain threshold for a specified duration.

The payout amount would be based on the pool's expected lost fee revenue during the downtime.
