How to
Underwrite
Deposit USDC into a pool before its week starts and earn its premiums.
When you can deposit
A pool takes deposits until its coverage window starts. Underwrite lists the pools taking deposits now.
What the page shows
- The issuer credit curve of the pool, with its current utilization marked.
- The book: deposits, capacity, cover sold, the premium rate now, and premiums collected so far as a share of deposits.
- For the amount you type: your share of the pool, your share of premiums so far, and your loss if the pool triggers at the payout cap, at today’s sales and at full capacity.
What you earn
Every premium paid into the pool is shared among underwriters by deposit. Cover sold after you deposit adds to what you withdraw.
What you risk
If the pool triggers, claims are reserved first, up to the payout cap on all cover sold. With a 20% cap and a pool sold to capacity, a trigger at the cap uses all deposits. Your loss is your share of what is reserved.
Deposit
Type the amount in USDC, press Underwrite, and approve the transaction in your wallet. The steps are the same as when buying cover: build, verify, sign, send, confirm.
Withdraw
Withdrawals open when the pool triggers or when its window has ended and settled. See Claim and withdraw.
