Bundled Protocol Cover

When you are earning yield using a strategy that involves more than one (1) protocol, your crypto assets are exposed to risk across multiple protocols. Bundled Protocol Cover is designed to protect your assets against smart contract and economic risk within multiple protocols' smart contracts.

Covered Risks​

When you have crypto assets deposited in a protocol that deposits funds into other protocols to earn yield on Ethereum, an EVM-compatible network, or an Ethereum Layer 2, Bundled Protocol Cover protects against the following risks:

  • Smart contract exploits/hacks
  • Severe oracle failure/manipulation
  • Severe liquidation failure
  • Governance attacks

Bundled Protocol Cover Wording​

For more information, read the full terms and conditions of Nexus Mutual's Bundled Protocol Cover.

Nexus Mutual's claim assessors use this cover wording as a reference when considering any Bundled Protocol Cover claim.

Note: Every Bundled Protocol Cover listing includes an annex documented linked in the Terms and Conditions section on the Buy Cover page. You can review the annex for each listing to confirm which protocols are included in the Bundled Protocol Cover listing.

Proof of Loss​

When you hold Bundled Protocol Cover and suffer a loss of funds, you can file a claim and claim assessors will review your claim submission to determine whether your claim is valid.

For Bundled Protocol Cover claims, onchain proof of loss is required. You will file a claim and either sign a transaction using your affected address or send a 0 value transaction with your affected address to prove you own and control that address.

Once you prove that you own and control the affected address, claim assessors can review the onchain history associated with the address to determine:

  • If funds were deposited when the loss event occurred
  • If the cover was active when the loss event occurred
  • If you suffered a loss of funds and, if so, the amount of funds that were lost

Claim Filing Process​

After a loss event occurs, you will need to wait 14 days for the cool-down period to pass. The cool-down period applies for DeFi Pass Cover claims, per the cover wording.

  1. If you hold DeFi Pass Cover at the time the loss event occurs, you can submit a claim with supporting evidence, otherwise referred to as proof of loss.
    • You will be able to include written details, links to supporting documentation, and/or upload screenshots or other files in the Incident Details portion of the claim submission process
    • You will choose to either sign a message from the affected address or send a 0 value transaction from the affected address to prove you own and control the affected address
  2. Claim assessors will review, discuss and vote to approve claims where proof of loss (i.e., your designated wallet address) shows that you have indeed suffered a loss of funds.
    • If your claim is approved, you will be able to redeem your claim payout after the 24-hour cool-down period passes in the Your Covers menu. You can also check your Dashboard to see the status of any active claims.
    • If your claim is denied, you will be able to file another claim with more supporting evidence
