Cover

vfat.io offers Bundled Protocol Cover, protection for deposits made into vfat.io positions against protocol hacks. It applies only to deposits made through vfat.io’s Sickle-based positions, and is limited to the specific strategy it was purchased for; it can’t be applied in part or in whole to cover any other position or protocol.

Cover is only available for a specific list of eligible protocols, shown when purchasing. Not every farm on Yield is eligible.

Buying cover

Cover can be purchased in two places:

Inline, while opening a new position from the Yield action pane
From the Cover section of the Deposits tab, for an existing eligible position

The deposit form shows Buy Cover only for eligible protocols. While depositing, turn on Buy Cover to reveal the duration and payment chain. Choose your deposit amount to preview the coverage and premium. Its toggle uses the same surface and selected state as the automation settings in both themes.
