βοΈ How it Works
When you deposit into the Covered yoUSD vault, your position is automatically insured for as long as you hold it.
No Signup, No Upfront Cost: The cover premium is streamed continuously from the vault's yield, meaning you earn a slightly lower net APY in exchange for peace of mind.
Full Flexibility: You can withdraw at any time; coverage ends exactly when your position does.
Hands-off Claims: If a covered loss event occurs, OpenCover manages the claim and payout process end-to-end.
π‘ What's Covered
The Covered yoUSD vault protects deposits against core DeFi risks affecting the yoUSD strategy and its underlying lending markets, including:
Smart Contract Exploits: Loss of funds due to a bug or vulnerability in the covered contracts.
Oracle Failure & Manipulation: Faulty price feeds or deliberate price manipulation leading to loss.
Liquidation Failure / Bad Debt: Failure of liquidations to clear positions correctly, resulting in socialized bad debt.
Governance Attacks: A malicious upgrade forced through an on-chain governance mechanism.
Standard exclusions apply, including phishing, private key compromise, and normal market price movements. Check the Cover Terms for the full list.
π Coverage Scope & Sublimits
Coverage is subject to per-component sublimits, meaning the maximum payout attributable to any single underlying market is capped as a percentage of your Cover Amount:
Yo Protocol: Up to 70% of the Cover Amount
Each Underlying Morpho Market: Up to 70% of the Cover Amount (e.g., cbBTC/USDC, WETH/USDC, wstETH/USDC, cbETH/USDC across Base and Ethereum)
OpenCover Covered Vault: Up to 100% of the Cover Amount
A 4% deductible of the Cover Amount applies to all claims. Sublimits and deductibles are defined in the Annex.
