# Insure yoUSD with OpenCover

Risk-conscious users can hold yoUSD through an OpenCover Covered Vault to protect their position against DeFi risks. Coverage begins automatically when you deposit and ends when you withdraw, with the premium streamed continuously from your yield. There is no upfront cost and no lock-in. Cover is provided through OpenCover, with claims managed end-to-end.&#x20;

### ⚙️ 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.

### 🛡 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.

### 📊 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.
