Buy Cover

Individual Plan

Tidal platform provides inidviduals coverage through their own project teams, offering end users an more emersive experience comparing to purchasing from a 3rd party. Payout will be handled together with insured project teams based on each individual's damage and coverage, saving the headache of each individual to keep up with the claim filing process.

Users can use “USDC” or “Native token” (if availabe from the insured protocol) to get covered. By setting up a payment account and desired coverage amount, users can initiate their coverage plan on a weekly subscription basis.

Users can withdraw or deposit from they payment account at any time, as well as adjust the coverage amount at any time.

As long as there is enough balance in the payment account, the coverage plan will automatically continue. If there is not enough balance, the coverage plan will be suspended and reactivated as soon as there is enough balance.

In an effort to keep gas costs low for our customers, the coverage purchase feature is currently supported on the polygon network with other L2 solutions to follow.

Users can access the purchasing site from the insured protocol's site. Below are the purchasing steps by using the StaFi protocol's portal as an example: StaFi.tidal.finance

3. Use One Payment Account to Protect Multiple Accounts

Have multiple wallets all needs protection? NO PROBLEM, we made it simple for you.

In the “insured wallet” page, users can enter upto 10 other accounts to be protected under the same payment account.

During a payout, the damage amount of each account will be analyzed, and compensation will be distributed to each account according to its loss.

If the covered amount is less than the total damaged amount, compensation will be distributed to each account proportionally based on “its own loss / the total loss”.

Additional Notes

**Covered amount could be limited by the capacity of coverage available, and the overage cost is based on the actual covered amount. When the total purchase coverage amount is larger than the capacity, each individual’s coverage amount is reduced proportionately.

“Individual Actual Coverage” = “Individual Target Coverage” x (“Coverage capacity” / “Total Target Coverage”)
