CloudCover Launches C3C Protocol™ with Digital Value Units, Creating an Incremental Insurable Class of Data@Risk Assets
Published: February 3, 2026 Author: John Riordan
Vancouver, BC – February 3, 2026, CloudCover® today announced the launch of the C3C Protocol™, deployed on Continuum Network’s quantum resistant blockchain, introducing a new framework for securing, verifying, and insuring real-world assets (RWA) utilizing digital value units (DVU). This marks the creation of a risk-priced asset category backed by cryptographic integrity and data@risk underwriting.
The C3C Protocol™ unites CloudCover’s C3C cybersecurity and real-time underwriting engine with Continuum’s multi-curve quantum resistant cryptography infrastructure, designed to deliver verifiable digital integrity for enterprises, regulators, and insurers. The companies said the protocol is intended to let organizations validate that digital actions, transactions, and data flows meet provable, insurable security standards.
Introducing Digital Value Units (DVU)
At the center of the C3C Protocol™ are Digital Value Units (DVU), a risk-weighted, cryptographically secured measurement that quantifies the security, provenance, and insurance-ready value of data in transit and on-chain action as assets. By converting digital operations into measurable, insurable units of value, DVUs are intended to unlock a scalable path to regulated RWA markets, risk-priced data transaction-based assets, and insured on-chain transactions.
Creating a New Class of Secure Insurable Digital Assets
As cyber threats grow and quantum computing becomes a reality, organizations must demonstrate the security of their digital operations. C3C Chain is designed to enable a new category of cyber-verified digital assets, supporting risk-priced RWAs, insured on-chain transactions, and institutional-grade digital value markets.
“C3C Chain turns digital operations into secure, auditable, and insurable assets—something the industry has never had before,” said Stephen Cardot, CEO of CloudCover. “DVUs introduce a new level of transparency for RWA platforms and Web3 markets, enabling institutions to rely on verifiable cyber-risk pricing,” added Mehdi Mehrtash, CTO of Continuum Network. Cardot also noted, “Whoever controls cyber-verified asset valuation will shape the future of the RWA economy—and C3C is already building that foundation.”
