The Evertas Story
Evertas was founded as BlockRe and rebranded in 2020, with Gdanski as CEO and Zenkich as President.
J. conceived the idea of Evertas while overseeing the creation of custodial crypto operations for a major financial institution. J. recognized a critical lack of crypto insurance capacity. J. contacted his friend Raymond, a pioneer in researching cryptoasset insurance who in 2016 had produced the first conference dedicated to the subject.
Gdanski and Zenkich leveraged their unique fusion of expertise in both the opaque world of crypto and in the insurance industry’s centuries-old, sustainable methods of addressing new forms of risk.
The result was the world’s first cryptoasset insurance company — one exclusively dedicated to creating a suite of full-service insurance products focused solely on the unique risks endemic to the crypto industry.
Specialization
Evertas is run by cryptonatives philosophically committed to seeing crypto thrive by mitigating the risks inherent to the innovators building the technologies we believe in.
