Backing CoverPools with EigenLayer restaked capital introduces correlated risk — a systemic slashing event or mass operator exit drains coverage capacity at exactly the moment vault depositors need payouts. Starting on the Gauntlet WETH vault on Morpho is the safe play (single asset, top curator, battle-tested protocol), but expansion to multi-asset vaults on Euler or Nest Credit is where depeg and curator risk actually stress the model. $10M initial coverage against a 0.5% DeFi TVL coverage rate is a rounding error, but if CoverPool pricing attracts restakers without subsidies, this could carve out the niche Nexus Mutual and InsurAce never scaled into.
