The CMO of InsurAce, Dan Thomson, confirmed to us directly that &#8220;we'll payout and recover fast.&#8221; Thomson went on to say,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">&#8220;This shows the importance of insurance in the industry and in any smart investor\u2019s strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Crypto is never risk free but there are ways to reduce risk. This is why we founded InsurAce, to make crypto safer for everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>InsurAce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurace.io\/blog\/?p=2936\">explains<\/a> what happened and how to make a claim if you hold a valid policy in a blog post. A claim can be made when &#8220;the Time<s>\u2013<\/s>Weighted Average Price (TWAP) 10-day average drops below $0.88.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This event occurred at 5:00 am\u00a0UTC on 13<sup>th<\/sup> May 2022 and has been acknowledged by InsurAce. The process for making involves proving ownership of both a valid policy and either UST or UST derivative tokens such as aUST at the time of the de-peg.<\/p>\n<p>InsurAce also asks customers who bought a policy and did not have UST in their wallet at the moment of purchase to contact them if they did hold it at least ten days before the de-peg event. While it is not guaranteeing it will pay out to these customers, it states,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>&#8220;whilst not explicitly covered by the policy, we aim to keep open communication with this issue, particularly due to the complex nature of the event.&#8221;<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>All eligible cover holders must submit their claim request by May 20<sup>th<\/sup>, 2022, 23:59:59 UTC via the email found on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.insurace.io\/blog\/?p=2936\">website<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2>Protocols that aren't paying out (yet)<\/h2>\n<p>This compares extremely favorably to the other leading UST de-peg insurer, Unleashed Finance, which is not yet paying out. This is because their policy states that UST must trade below TWAP of $0.87 for two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Investors who have taken that policy will have to wait a while to be able to start their claim process. A community moderator from Unslashed Finance has informed us that claims will still be eligible after two weeks if the Terra blockchain is halted again, and thus trading stops.<\/p>\n<p>On Twitter, Unleashed Finance state that they are &#8220;likely&#8221; to pay out in the next two weeks but urges users; &#8220;do not sell your UST as the conditions of the claim are not yet fulfilled.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Another DeFi platform, Nexus Mutual, offers protocol insurance &#8220;against a loss of funds, not a loss of value.&#8221; Therefore, its Anchor insurance is unlikely to payout.
