Historically, only a fraction of projects that suffered hacks had protection available on any platform. This is largely because of the cumbersome processes required by protection platforms to support new projects. Cozy v2 changes this with a permissionless interface, enabling the creation of markets covering any protocol.
In this blog post, discover how Cozy v2 empowers yield seekers and project leaders to develop and access customizable protection markets.

Cozy v2 solves this problem by empowering users to create markets. The protocol provides a step-by-step guide to develop triggers, essential for determining payouts in protection markets. Here's how you can develop triggers using Cozy v2:
Once connected on the Cozy app, click your wallet address dropdown in the top right and select “Your Triggers” to go to the Cozy Admin section.
First, go to the admin section of the Cozy app and select “create a protection trigger.”

Select a trigger template or create your own.
Chainlink
The Chainlink template compares a chainlink price feed with either another chainlink price feed or a fixed value. This type of trigger is useful for pegged assets like Dai or stETH.
An example of a market using the Chainlink template is the stETH Peg market.
UMA
The UMA template presents a query to the UMA Optimistic Oracle and triggers the market if it returns a YES response. This type of trigger is useful for more general markets.
An example of a market using the UMA template is the Aave v2 market.
Custom
If you want more custom logic, you can create your own trigger. For example, if you want a multisig to make the decision. Or a combination of a programmatic trigger and a multisig.
Once you’ve selected your template, configure the trigger by selecting the price feeds, writing the UMA query, or developing your own custom trigger.

Provide an image, a title, and a description so that users can most easily use of your trigger.

If everything looks good, you can deploy your trigger. It will now be usable by set admins when they are creating and managing their sets.
If you want to create a market with this trigger, you can create your own set and use this trigger to create a market.
You can create a trigger today in the app. Have questions? Join the discord and ask the community.
