- A financial loss occurs due to a stablecoin de-peg, where it trades below an indicated threshold (see Table 1) on CMC, Coingecko, or other trusted sources; and
- The loss on the designated stablecoin results in a TWAP (Time-weighted average price) below the threshold (Table 1) for at least 10 consecutive days; and
- The loss is related to the wallet address used to purchase the cover; and
- The loss occurred during the Cover Period; and
- A claim is submitted during the Cover Period or within 7 days after the cover expires; and

5. Conditions
5.1 Recovery after Claim Submission
Any recovery received by the Covered as compensation for losses due to the de-peg shall be deducted from the claim payments.

All claims are paid as per policy terms. The UnoRe UMA Oracle, with fallback to ClaimsDAO, has the final say on claim payouts.
5.3 Cover Termination

- 5.3.2 The Cover terminates when a claim has been registered under that particular stablecoin.

- 5.4.1 The Protocol aims to maintain sufficient capital, but coverage does not guarantee full payout, particularly if pool capital is insufficient.
- 5.4.2 The Protocol is not licensed or regulated in any jurisdiction.
- 5.4.3 This Cover is not insurance. It is discretionary protection provided to purchasers, with the DAO having final discretion on claims.
