Crypto protection guide

How SIMA protection works in practice: buy terms, activate a certificate, then claim only if needed.

The idea

You protect a defined amount for a short published window. You pay a premium. SIMA records the terms in a certificate. If a problem happens, you may file a claim for review.

V1 economics (published)

  • Premium: 5% of protected amount
  • Coverage: 50%
  • Deductible: 10%
  • Maximum net payment: 40%
  • Amounts use the protected contract asset, not USD

Timing (published)

  • Quote validity: 30 seconds
  • Payment window: 30 seconds after acceptance
  • Protection window: 5 minutes after premium payment
  • Certificate lifetime: 24 hours
  • Claim window: 24 hours

Claims

Claims are investigated against certificate terms. Target settlement guidance on the claims page is 3–7 business days after a decision path — not an automatic payout promise.
