TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE
PROTECTED VAULT
Variable Yield Product in USDC with Protocol Coverage
(Vault Cover — OpenCover x Nexus Mutual)
Last Updated: March 2026
READ CAREFULLY BEFORE DEPOSITING. BY PROCEEDING, YOU DECLARE THAT YOU HAVE READ, UNDERSTOOD, AND FULLY ACCEPT THESE TERMS. |
IMPORTANT NOTICE — MANDATORY PRIOR DISCLOSURE
Before making any deposit in the Protected Vault, the User must acknowledge the following essential points:
A. THE PROTECTED VAULT IS NOT A BANK PRODUCT, NOT A SAVINGS ACCOUNT, AND DOES NOT OFFER CAPITAL OR YIELD GUARANTEE BY THE FGC OR ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT FUND. B. THE YIELD IS VARIABLE, DYNAMIC, AND NOT GUARANTEED. Composed of the DSR from the Sky/Maker protocol minus coverage costs (OpenCover). It can change at any time without prior notice. Historical rates do not guarantee future returns. C. COVERAGE IS EXCLUSIVELY PART B (DEPEG OF sDAI). The only covered event is the market price of sDAI falling 10% or more below its reference value for 7 or more consecutive days. Coverage is DISCRETIONARY and DOES NOT CONSTITUTE INSURANCE regulated by SUSEP. D. ONLY OPENCOVER (CVM) CAN TRIGGER A CLAIM. The User has no direct contractual relationship with Nexus Mutual. Any attempt to trigger by third parties renders the Cover immediately UNENFORCEABLE. E. CRITICAL DEPEG PARAMETERS: Depeg Time = 7 consecutive days. Depeg Percentage = 10% of Reference Value. Unit of Claim = 0.975 USDC/sDAI. Depeg below 10% or lasting less than 7 days DOES NOT trigger coverage. Submission deadline = 30 days after the end of the Depeg Time. F. UNCOVERED RISKS INCLUDE (without limitation): smart contract bugs not resulting in depeg as per Part B, phishing, private key loss, market drop without qualified depeg, depeg below thresholds or lasting less than 7 days, bridge failure, rug pull, failure in the Picnic app or Deframe API, Material Change in Risk by OpenCover. G. THE USER IS SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR DECLARING AND PAYING TAXES ON THE YIELDS OBTAINED. |
0. HOW THE PROTECTED VAULT WORKS — PRODUCT OVERVIEW
0.1. Product structure — three independent layers
The Protected Vault is a feature of the PICNIC app that allows the User to deposit USDC into a Covered Vault managed by OpenCover, which allocates the assets in the Designated Vault (sDAI/Sky/Maker DSR) on the Gnosis Chain and maintains coverage with Nexus Mutual. The product operates in three independent layers:
LAYER 1 — VARIABLE YIELD (Designated Protocol: Sky/Maker DSR) The Sky/Maker protocol generates variable yield on sDAI. The DSR rate is set by the protocol's decentralized governance and can be changed at any time, including to zero. PICNIC has no control over the DSR. LAYER 2 — SELF-CUSTODIAL The User keeps their assets in their own self-custodial wallet throughout the deposit period. PICNIC does not hold custody at any time. LAYER 3 — ON-DEMAND VAULT COVER (Nexus Mutual via OpenCover CVM) OpenCover acquires Part B coverage (depeg of sDAI) with Nexus Mutual proportionally to the total value deposited in the Covered Vault (Proof of Cover on-demand). Part A does not apply to this product. The cost of coverage is automatically deducted from the gross yield. |
0.2. What risk the coverage protects — depeg of sDAI
The current coverage for the Protected Vault is exclusively Part B of the Vault Cover Terms: depeg coverage of sDAI. This was a deliberate choice by OpenCover when structuring this product.
Why only Part B? OpenCover chose to use a single trigger based on market outcome instead of listing specific technical events (as Part A does). The logic is: any serious failure in the Covered Components — whether a bug, an oracle failure, a governance takeover — that is severe enough to harm users would be reflected in the market price of sDAI as a depeg. The single trigger is simpler and practically encapsulates the main loss scenarios. What this means for the User: • COVERED: depeg of sDAI ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 consecutive days — regardless of the cause. • NOT COVERED by this coverage: any event that does not result in a depeg of sDAI according to the above parameters, including smart contract bugs that do not cause qualified depeg, isolated oracle failure, governance takeover without price impact, bridge failure, rug pull, phishing. • The coverage does not protect against yield losses, only against principal loss via qualified depeg. |
| ATTENTION: A serious bug in the Sky/Maker protocol that DOES NOT result in a depeg of sDAI ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 days DOES NOT trigger coverage. The user may lose capital without any compensation. |
0.3. Yield — variable and dynamic
Net yield = DSR (Sky/Maker) minus OpenCover cost The DSR can be changed by Sky/Maker governance at any time, including to zero. The cost of coverage may vary according to the conditions of the Nexus Mutual underwriting market. The current yield is displayed in real-time in the app. No historical rate constitutes a guarantee. |
0.4. Proof of Cover — on-demand and proportional coverage
The underwriting capital is acquired ON-DEMAND by OpenCover proportional to the total value deposited in the Covered Vault. The Cover Amount rises and falls as deposits come in and out. The Deductible (5% × Cover Amount) also varies according to the total deposited. IMPORTANT: If the Exposed Funds (total deposited in the vault) exceed the acquired Cover Amount, the Claim Amount will be proportionally reduced. PICNIC does not control the Cover Amount or the volume of Exposed Funds. |
0.5. What are the Covered Components
The Vault Cover protects the Covered Components: (a) the Covered Vault (OpenCover contract); (b) the Designated Vault (sDAI/Sky/Maker); and (c) the Designated Protocol (Sky/Maker DSR code). User interfaces — including the PICNIC app and the Deframe API — are expressly excluded.
NOT COVERED COMPONENTS and therefore NOT covered: • The PICNIC app and any user interface. • The Deframe API. • The Gnosis Chain bridge (the current Annex does not provide this coverage). • PICNIC's internal systems. |
0.6. Participants and their roles
PICNIC: Non-custodial software interface. Does not hold custody, does not generate yield, is not part of the coverage contract, and CANNOT trigger claims. DEFRAME: Transaction generation and routing API. Not a custodian. Not a Covered Component. SKY/MAKER PROTOCOL (DSR / DESIGNATED PROTOCOL): Generates yield. Is a Covered Component. DESIGNATED VAULT / COVERED VAULT: OpenCover and sDAI contracts on the Gnosis Chain. Are Covered Components. Covered Vault: 0x0AC34fe133BdE3A2eF589a18A4E10b6a7d253829 Covered Token (sDAI): 0xaf204776c7245bF4147c2612BF6e5972Ee483701 OPENCOVER (CVM): ONLY party with legitimacy to trigger claims. Attempt to trigger by third parties renders the Cover void. NEXUS MUTUAL: DAO providing discretionary coverage. Approval subject to Claim Assessors' vote. Not a regulated insurer. |
0.7. What PICNIC is not and does not do
PICNIC IS NOT a bank, financial institution, broker, investment manager, fund administrator, insurer, or PSAV under Law 14.478/2022. PICNIC DOES NOT HOLD CUSTODY of the User's assets at any time. PICNIC DOES NOT GUARANTEE yield, claim approval, or product continuity. PICNIC IS NOT A PARTY to the coverage contract (Vault Cover Terms). PICNIC CANNOT TRIGGER CLAIMS — only OpenCover can, as CVM. |
1. PARTIES AND IDENTIFICATION
1.1. Platform operator
DeFiBasket Labs Inc., a company incorporated under the laws of the British Virgin Islands (BVI), No. 2085144, with registered address at Intershore Chambers, Geneva Place, 3rd Floor, Road Town, Tortola, BVI (‘PICNIC’, ‘we’ or ‘Platform’).
1.2. User
Individual or legal entity accessing the Protected Vault feature through the PICNIC app interface (‘User’ or ‘you’). By activating the Protected Vault or making any deposit, the User declares to have read, understood, and fully accepted these Terms, which are complementary and integrated with the General Terms of Use of PICNIC.
2. NATURE OF THE PRODUCT AND OPERATION
2.1. General description
The Protected Vault is a technological interface feature that allows the User to deposit USDC into the OpenCover Covered Vault, deployed on the Gnosis Chain, whose assets are allocated in the Designated Vault (sDAI/Sky/Maker DSR). The yield is generated by the Designated Protocol. The current protocol coverage is exclusively Part B (depeg of sDAI), governed by the Vault Cover Terms — OpenCover x Nexus Mutual.
2.2. How to participate
- Have a self-custodial wallet compatible with the Gnosis Chain and available balance in USDC.
- Read and accept these Terms in the PICNIC interface.
- Authorize the deposit transaction, which will send your USDC to the Covered Vault on the Gnosis Chain.
- Monitor the accumulated yield in the PICNIC interface.
- Request redemption at any time, subject to the protocol's liquidity conditions.
By confirming the deposit, the User forwards their transaction to the Covered Vault. PICNIC does not hold, retain, or control the User's assets at any time.
2.3. Yield and cost — variable nature
The yield of the Protected Vault is variable and dynamic. Composed of the DSR from the Sky/Maker protocol minus the coverage costs. The current net yield is always displayed in the app and may vary daily. No historical rate constitutes a guarantee or promise of future return.
2.4. PICNIC's fees and commission
PICNIC may charge a commission on the generated yield, informed in advance in the interface before any deposit. The total cost to the User will always be displayed on the summary screen before confirmation.
2.5. Contract addresses
- Covered Vault (OpenCover Savings xDAI Insured Vault): 0x0AC34fe133BdE3A2eF589a18A4E10b6a7d253829
- Covered Token (Savings xDAI / sDAI): 0xaf204776c7245bF4147c2612BF6e5972Ee483701
2.6. Infrastructure and involved third parties
- Sky/Maker Protocol (DSR / Designated Protocol): generates yield on sDAI.
- Gnosis Chain: blockchain network where contracts are deployed.
- OpenCover (CVM): manager of the Covered Vault, holder of the coverage position with Nexus Mutual.
- Nexus Mutual: discretionary coverage pool governed by the Vault Cover Terms.
- Deframe: transaction generation and routing API. Not a custodian. Not a Covered Component.
3. NATURE OF PROTOCOL COVERAGE
3.1. Vault Cover — discretionary coverage. Not insurance.
The current coverage is governed by the Vault Cover Terms — OpenCover x Nexus Mutual, with exclusive application of Part B (depeg of sDAI). The specific Annex for this product expressly states: ‘Part A Terms — Not applicable for OpenCover Savings xDAI (sDAI) Vault Cover.’ Therefore, Part A (protocol risks: smart contract bugs, oracle failure, governance takeover, liquidation failure) DOES NOT apply. The coverage is DISCRETIONARY and DOES NOT CONSTITUTE INSURANCE regulated by Decree-Law No. 73/1966 or supervised by SUSEP.
EXCLUSIVE LEGITIMACY OF OPENCOVER: The Vault Cover can only be triggered by OpenCover as CVM. Any attempt to trigger by third parties — including PICNIC or the User themselves — renders the Cover UNENFORCEABLE (Vault Cover Specific Terms). The User is an INDIRECT beneficiary. Their recovery depends entirely on OpenCover's action. |
3.2. Part B — Only covered event: depeg of sDAI
Covered event (cl. 4 of the Vault Cover Terms): OpenCover can trigger a claim if, during the Cover Period, the Reference Value of sDAI and the Market Value differ by more than 10% for a continuous period of at least 7 consecutive days.
Parameters of the Annex sDAI Vault Cover (prevail over the Cover Terms in case of conflict): Covered Token: Savings xDAI (sDAI) on the Gnosis Chain Covered Vault Address: 0x0AC34fe133BdE3A2eF589a18A4E10b6a7d253829 Depeg Percentage: 10% of Reference Value Depeg Time: 7 (seven) consecutive days Unit of Claim: 0.975 USDC per covered sDAI Approved Covered Token Derivative: not applicable Part B Process (cl. 5.1): OpenCover must transfer a Covered Token to Nexus Mutual BEFORE submitting the claim. If approved, tokens are exchanged for the Claim Amount. If denied, tokens are returned to OpenCover. Holding requirement (cl. 6.3): OpenCover must have held the Covered Tokens for at least 72h before the start of the depeg event. If not met, the claim will be denied. |
CRITICAL PARAMETERS — READ CAREFULLY: • Depeg < 10% of Reference Value: DOES NOT trigger coverage. • Depeg that recovers before 7 consecutive days: DOES NOT trigger coverage. • Technical failure (bug, oracle, governance) that DOES NOT cause depeg ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 days: DOES NOT trigger coverage. • Unit of Claim = 0.975: 2.5% haircut per token, applied before the Deductible. • Cool Down Period Part B = Depeg Time (7 days): OpenCover can only submit the claim AFTER this period. • Submission deadline: 30 days after the END of the Depeg Time — not after the start. • PICNIC does not control OpenCover's compliance with these deadlines. |
3.3. Coverage table — what is and is not covered
All scenarios below are evaluated based on the Vault Cover Terms and the Annex sDAI Vault Cover. The Annex prevails in case of conflict.
| Loss scenario | Covered? | Note |
| Depeg sDAI ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 consecutive days (Part B, cl. 4) | YES | Unit of Claim 0.975/token + Deductible 5%. OpenCover must have held tokens ≥ 72h (cl. 6.3). |
| Depeg < 10% or < 7 consecutive days | NO | Below the Annex thresholds. Does not trigger a claim. |
| Smart contract bug/exploit that DOES NOT cause qualified depeg | NO | Part A not applicable. Only covered if it results in depeg ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 days. |
| Bug/exploit that CAUSES depeg ≥ 10% for ≥ 7 days | YES* | Covered via Part B (depeg). *Subject to all conditions and exclusions of Part B. |
| Oracle failure/manipulation that DOES NOT cause qualified depeg | NO | Part A not applicable. Only covered if it results in qualified depeg. |
| Governance takeover that DOES NOT cause qualified depeg | NO | Part A not applicable. |
| Phishing/private key loss | NO | Exclusion Part B cl. 6.1 (covered components continue functioning). |
| Market drop without qualified depeg | NO | Not an event covered by Part B. |
| Rug pull by controllers | NO | Explicit exclusion. May not result in qualified depeg. |
| Gnosis Chain bridge failure | NO | Current Annex does not provide this coverage. |
| Failure in the Picnic app or Deframe API | NO | Interfaces are not Covered Components. |
| Depeg of an asset other than sDAI | NO | Exclusion cl. 6.2. |
| Material Change in Risk by OpenCover | RISK | Nexus Mutual may deny claim (cl. 14). Beyond PICNIC's control. |
3.4. Part B exclusions — uncovered events
The User acknowledges that Part B coverage DOES NOT apply in the following situations:
- (i) Technical issues in the Covered Token or Approved Covered Token Derivative that do not specifically result in depeg as per cl. 4 (cl. 6.1).
- (ii) Depeg of any asset other than sDAI (cl. 6.2).
- (iii) OpenCover not having held the Covered Tokens for at least 72h before the depeg event (cl. 6.3).
- (iv) Events occurring before the start of the Cover Period (cl. 3.4, applicable by analogy).
- (v) Cover triggered by a third party without the User's knowledge and consent, or whose recovery is not intended for the User — Cover is void (cl. 3.10).
- (vi) Material Change in Risk: Nexus Mutual may deny claim if OpenCover has materially altered its activities or terms (cl. 14).
3.5. Coverage limit, Deductible, and Claim Amount calculation
FORMULA Part B (depeg — Explanatory Note 1, Vault Cover Terms): 1st Apply the Unit of Claim: reference value = 0.975 USDC per covered sDAI. 2nd Apply the Deductible: Claim Amount = min [ Loss Amount − (5% × Cover Amount), Cover Amount ] Illustrative example: Deposit = 1,000 USDC | Cover Amount = 1,000 USDC | Total depeg Loss Amount after Unit of Claim = 975 USDC Deductible = 5% × 1,000 = 50 USDC Claim Amount = min[975 − 50, 1,000] = 925 USDC maximum If the Exposed Funds (total in the vault) exceed the Cover Amount, the Claim Amount will be proportionally reduced. The aggregate Claim Amount is limited to the total Cover Amount (cl. 7.4). |
The indication of ‘up to 97.5% of capital’ is a maximum estimate before the Deductible and in a total depeg scenario. In adverse scenarios, recovery may be significantly lower. It does not constitute a contractual guarantee by PICNIC.
3.6. Claim deadlines, Cool Down, and redemption
PART B — Depeg (only current coverage): Cool Down Period: equal to Depeg Time = 7 days (no claim can be submitted during this period). Submission deadline: 30 days after the END of the Depeg Time (cl. 7.1.5.2). NOT after the start of the depeg. Redemption deadline: 30 days after claim approval (cl. 7.3). Failure to redeem within this period implies LOSS of the claim. Total estimate: approximately 14 to 44 days from the start of the depeg. |
PICNIC DOES NOT CONTROL THESE DEADLINES AND IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DELAYS, DENIAL, OR FAILURE IN THE COVERAGE PROCESS. If OpenCover does not submit the claim within the deadline, the right is permanently lost. If the claim is approved but not redeemed within 30 days, the right is equally lost. |
4. LEGAL NATURE
4.1. Software interface — non-custodial
PICNIC acts exclusively as a non-custodial software interface provider. It is not a bank, financial institution, broker, investment manager, fund administrator, insurer, or PSAV. PICNIC does not hold, at any time, custody, control, or access over the User's assets.
4.2. On-chain yield operation
- (i) the yield is generated by an autonomous on-chain protocol (Sky/Maker DSR), without active management by PICNIC;
- (ii) the sDAI is a native token of the protocol, not issued by PICNIC; and
- (iii) each User's position does not represent participation in a collective enterprise.
4.3. Coverage
PICNIC does not offer, distribute, or intermediate insurance. The terms ‘coverage’, ‘protocol coverage’, and ‘Vault Cover’ refer exclusively to the Nexus Mutual product governed by the Vault Cover Terms. PICNIC does not use the terms ‘insurance’, ‘insured’, ‘policy’, or equivalents in any communication to the User.
4.4. Tax responsibility
The User is solely responsible for calculating, declaring, and paying all taxes on the yields obtained. PICNIC does not provide tax advice.
5. RISK FACTORS

8. DEPOSIT, YIELD, AND REDEMPTION CONDITIONS
8.1. Deposit
Deposits are made exclusively in USDC, from a self-custodial wallet. There is no guarantee of immediate processing. PICNIC may set minimum and/or maximum values, displayed in the interface before confirmation.
8.2. Yield
The yield is accumulated in sDAI on-chain. The displayed rate is the current net rate at the time of consultation and may vary. No previously displayed rate constitutes a guarantee of future yield.
8.3. Redemption
The User can request redemption at any time, subject to the liquidity conditions of the sDAI protocol and the Gnosis Chain. In the event of an ongoing claim, redemption may be temporarily suspended.
8.4. Exceptional conditions
- Temporary suspension: during the Cool Down Period (7 days after the start of the depeg), redemptions may be suspended or affected by the coverage process conditions.
- Redemption during depeg: the User may be instructed to transfer assets to multisig instead of redeeming directly. Failure to comply may result in loss of the right to compensation.
- Redemption after approved claim: remaining funds available after distribution.
9. THIRD PARTIES, ON-CHAIN PROTOCOLS, AND LACK OF CONTROL
- Sky/Maker Protocol: operates autonomously; PICNIC has no influence over DSR, governance, or security.
- OpenCover (CVM): PICNIC does not control its operational decisions, claim outcomes, or deadline compliance.
- Nexus Mutual: sovereign DAO; decisions of the Claim Assessors cannot be contested by PICNIC.
- Deframe: PICNIC is not responsible for failures in the API.
10. USER SUPPORT
PICNIC provides dedicated support through official channels in the app and at usepicnic.com. PICNIC is committed to actively communicating to the User the occurrence of depeg events that may trigger the claim process — especially when User action is required. PICNIC does not guarantee resolution of issues related to on-chain protocols or Nexus Mutual decisions.
11. CHANGES TO THE PRODUCT AND THESE TERMS
PICNIC reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Protected Vault at any time without liability beyond the funds already deposited on-chain, which remain under the User's custody. These Terms may be changed with a minimum notice of 10 (ten) business days, except in cases of urgency. Continued use implies tacit acceptance.
12. APPLICABLE LAW AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION
These Terms are governed by the laws of the British Virgin Islands (BVI). Any dispute will first be submitted to an attempt at amicable resolution within 30 days and, if persisting, to arbitration under the General Terms of Use of PICNIC.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
- These Terms complement the General Terms of Use of PICNIC. In case of conflict, these provisions prevail.
- The nullity of any clause does not compromise the others.
- Failure to enforce compliance does not imply waiver of future rights.
- These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties regarding the Protected Vault.
- The Vault Cover Terms and its Annexes do not formally integrate these Terms, but the User is encouraged to read them directly.
GLOSSARY
