What is covered?
In summary, we'll cover you if
You lost assets to a scam in a confirmed transaction
You were using Pocket Universe and saw the pop up for the transaction where the loss occurred
You had the $20K coverage on
You didn't get a warning (the Pocket Universe popup showed that you were not going to lose those assets)
You need to have seen a Pocket Universe popup, which means that we only cover transactions on chains that we support.
This is a warranty on the accuracy of our scam detection.
How much is covered?
We cover 100% of the value of assets lost up to $20,000.
What isn't covered?
We do not cover asset losses resulting from causes unrelated to transactions analyzed by Pocket Universe, some examples:
Compromised seed phrases or private keys
e.g. from malware or typing your seedphrase to someoneRugpulled projects
e.g. where the founders leave or pull liquidityHacked Protocols
e.g. where the protocol or smart contract has a vulnerability and funds are stolen through an exploitHoneypots or malicious tokens
e.g. where the token didn't behave as you expected.
Losses that are not from your wallet (usually from a deployed smart contract)
e.g. from a smart contract you deploy or from a Gnosis Safe
Ignored warnings in Pocket Universe
e.g. you continued with the transaction despite getting a scam warning
Pocket Universe didn't pop up
e.g. you disabled the extension, or installed another extension that interferes with our popup, or used a different device
Lost funds from before using Pocket Universe
e.g. you lose funds a year ago before using our tool or this program
Losses were on an unsupported chain
e.g. you lost funds on AVAX when AVAX was not supported by Pocket Universe
Losses occurred when $20K coverage was toggled off
e.g. you opted out of coverage when the losses happened
Loss to a non-malicious contract or address due to human error
e.g. you sent funds to the USDC contract instead of the intended recipient
The price went down
e.g. you aren't so good at trading and the token price went down (once again)
In addition, we reserve the right to reject coverage claims in cases where
there is evidence of the assets not being lost to a 3rd party scammer
e.g. you set up a scam for yourself
there is evidence of the assets being lost to an authorized internal party
e.g. your friend uses your PC and steals your funds
there is insufficient evidence for assets being lost
e.g. Etherscan link unable to be provided
there is insufficient evidence for Pocket Universe being used
e.g. no simulation result from that wallet on our servers
How are cases evaluated?
After you've lodged your case in a Discord ticket, this is what typically happens
Gathering evidence
You provide details on the loss (addresses, links, screenshots of wallet history, browser history etc.)
We check your Pocket Universe popup history in our server logs to confirm that you saw our popup for that transaction
Evaluation
We check to see if your case meets the conditions mentioned above in "What is covered?":
You lost assets to a scam in a confirmed transaction
You were using Pocket Universe and saw the pop up for the transaction where the loss occurred
You had the $20k coverage active
You didn't see a warning or simulation results showing that you were going to lose those assets
For certain claims, we may ask you to join us on a video call and/or KYC, to comply with rules from coverage companies we are partnered with.
Conclusion
If your case qualifies, we'll send you 100% of the value you lost (market price at the time of loss), up to $20,000 in USDC
If it doesn't qualify, we'll explain what happened in your case and why it doesn't qualify
e.g. it's likely your seedphrase was compromised because X,Y,Z and no Pocket Universe popups were seen
Expect an initial response from the team within 24-48hrs. Total timeframe until a conclusion varies based on the investigation required for your case and your response times.
