Insurance

Optional smart-contract cover for Chamber vault deposits, via OpenCover and Nexus Mutual.

Depositors can buy optional cover against smart-contract failure on Chamber vaults through OpenCoverarrow-up-right. Cover is underwritten by Nexus Mutual and is purchased and paid for by the depositor — Chamber doesn't buy cover on your behalf.

What's covered

Protocol cover is the relevant product. It pays out if a smart-contract failure in the Chamber protocol causes loss of depositor funds. Depeg cover and Custody cover also exist on OpenCover but are not the primary cover for Chamber vault positions.

Cover is priced in USDC, runs for up to 90 days at a time, and can be renewed.

Cover is available across the same chains OpenCover currently supports for Chamber (Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, Optimism, Polygon). Chamber chains outside that set are not covered today.

What's not covered

Insurance does not protect against:

  • Market losses. If the manager's trades go against you, that's market risk — not a contract failure. No cover pays for this.

  • Strategy losses. Leverage liquidations, LP impermanent loss, oracle drift, stablecoin depegs inside a vault's positions. These are disclosed on the vault page and in Risks.

  • Manager abandonment or inactivity. The Guard System limits what a manager can do with funds, but it doesn't pay out if a manager stops managing.

Cover exists specifically for the case where the Chamber contracts themselves fail — the same case that audits, the Guard System, and the bug bounty are designed to prevent.

How to buy cover

  1. Select Protocol cover, with Chamber as the covered protocol. If the OpenCover UI still lists the protocol as dHEDGE during the rebrand window, use that entry.

  2. Enter the amount you want covered and the duration (up to 90 days).

  3. Connect your wallet and pay the cover premium in USDC.

Toros vaults sit inside the same protocol, so cover purchased via the same OpenCover listing applies — Toros product pages link to the same cover flow.

Should you buy cover?

That's a personal decision. A few pointers:

  • Cover makes more sense at larger deposit sizes where the premium is small relative to what's at risk.

  • It's an add-on to Chamber's built-in protections, not a substitute for checking the vault's risk profile before depositing.

  • If you're relying on cover, read the OpenCover policy terms so you understand what triggers a payout and what the claim process looks like — Chamber is not the underwriter.
