Governance
What is Cover Incident?
The term cover incident refers to a state in which all cover rules and exclusions have been met.
In the Neptune Mutual Protocol, a cover incident must go through a governance process to reach a resolution. Once an incident is reported, the resolution can be either Incident Occurred or False Reporting. The protocol is designed to punish users who try to cheat the governance system by confiscating all their stakes. To incentivize participation, the users who report in the governance system may earn some extra NPM rewards in a very short span of time (usually one week).
When a cover incident occurs, anyone can report it and earn a 5% commission on the protocol's fee earnings. Before submitting any incident, make sure you understand the following:
For the event to qualify as a cover incident,  all terms and rules of the cover must be met.
The users who agree with the incident can add more votes/stakes or add attestations to the report.
The users who disagree with the incident reporting can dispute or refute. Disputing allows anyone to mark the reported incident as False Reporting once. After that, the users who believe the incident reporting is a mistake can add more NPM votes/stakes by refuting.
There is a 7-day reporting period for users to participate in the governance process. The end of the reporting period is called Resolution Date.
The outcome of the cover incident will be achieved on the resolution date. The users who vote against the majority will lose all their stake to the majority.
Get Minimum Stake
Returns the minimum number of NPM tokens you need to stake to report an incident. Note that this number does not apply afterwards once a report has be submitted.
