# 7.3 The Insurance Module (Fog Shield)

While the Liquidity Fog is designed to be market-neutral, smart contract risk remains. To mitigate this, Accessth implements the "Fog Shield."

Staked $ACCESS tokens act as the first tranche of insurance. In the unlikely event of a shortfall (e.g., a hack of an underlying yield protocol like Aave), the Staked $ACCESS is slashed and auctioned to recapitalize the Fog Pool. This aligns the incentives of stakers with the security of the protocol—if the protocol fails, the token fails.
