Who covers the costs when portfolios are rebalanced ?
Rebalancing costs are included in the platform’s operations.
What happens if a protocol is hacked ?
If a protocol used by Savings is compromised and funds are lost, a compensation claim is filed with our partner OpenCover. The full insured amount is then received within 4 weeks.
What do our insurance policies cover, and what do they not cover ?
Insurance covers certain losses related to technical or economic failures of a protocol, such as smart contract bugs, code errors, oracle manipulation, liquidation failures, or malicious governance takeovers.
It does not cover market-related losses (volatility, depegs), user-side errors or fraud (phishing, private keys, malware), bugs disclosed before the coverage period, rug pulls allowed by the protocol, interface errors, or incidents involving cross-chain bridges.
Can I choose or modify the protocols used ?
Protocol selection follows a precise evaluation framework defined by the CIM. This selection is carried out rigorously by the Coinstancy team.
Can I create and manage my own investment strategy on Coinstancy ?
The strategy is rigorously defined by the Coinstancy team; it is not possible to create an individual Savings strategy.
Do I need to manage my positions myself ?
That’s the whole advantage of Coinstancy! The strategy runs automatically without you having to worry about it, and you simply receive the gains generated.
What is the Swap ?
The Swap allows you to exchange stablecoins for cryptocurrencies and vice versa in just a few seconds, directly from your Wallet. Currently limited, the Swap will be expanded to support additional cryptocurrencies.
What is a “FLUID” Crypto basket ?
So-called “FLUID” Crypto baskets contain yield-generating cryptocurrencies. These assets earn a certain interest rate throughout the holding period.
Aave is the largest decentralized lending and borrowing protocol, and Lido is the leading protocol for Ethereum liquid staking. By combining these two protocols, the yields offered are among the most secure possible. However, yields and interest rates fluctuate daily, and Coinstancy cannot currently guarantee or display them.
AARBWSTETH: Ethereum (WETH) deposited on the Lido protocol (ST), then supplied to the Aave protocol (A) on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain. AARBWBTC: Bitcoin (WBTC) deposited on the Aave protocol (A) on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain. AARBAAVE: Aave (AAVE) deposited on the Aave protocol (A) on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain. AARBLINK: Chainlink (LINK) deposited on the Aave protocol (A) on the Arbitrum (ARB) blockchain.
Why are there different blockchains ?
We have deployed several EVM blockchains for your USDC and EURC deposits and withdrawals so you can choose the one that works best for you !
How do personal wallets work ?
Coinstancy currently uses secure wallets provided by Circle, with a dedicated address for each user. An evolution toward a non-custodial model is planned, giving users the choice to export their private key or not, depending on their level of autonomy and responsibility.
