Pay £100. Year 1 vet cover is fully funded by ICP staking yield. If ICP grows, cover continues up to five years and £95 comes back at cycle close. If ICP is flat after Year 1, the protocol closes early and your £95M is returned. Plus tokens that may be worth a great deal more.
Nina G does one thing. Pay £100 once — 95% is staked in ICP neurons, the yield funds your cat's £500/yr vet cover, and at Year 5 you get your £95 principal back plus a share of any ICP surplus. No annual renewals. No rising premiums. No paperwork ever again.
95% of your £100 is converted to ICP and staked in NNS neurons. 5% covers operations. You receive $NINAG tokens — your membership, your upside, and your proof of cover. One million holders creates the collective buying power no individual could access alone.
ICP staking yield funds the group insurance policy. Year 1 cover is fully funded. If ICP grows as modelled, cover continues — up to five years. If yield does not grow beyond Year 1, the insurer cannot be funded at the same rate and the protocol closes, returning your £95 principal early.
At cycle close — Year 5 if ICP performs, earlier if it does not — your £95 principal is returned in full. If ICP has grown above the original £95M stake, the surplus is divided: 50% to holders, 35% to the founder, 15% to operations. Then you choose whether to re-register for a new cycle.
Nina G negotiates a group policy with a major pet insurer on behalf of all 1 million holders. The policy covers up to £500 of vet bills per year — the amount that resolves the vast majority of real-world cat emergencies in full.
That £500 threshold is data-driven. Actuarial claims history from major UK pet insurers shows that the average cat claim sits well below £500 — meaning the policy covers most incidents completely, while the cap protects the pool from catastrophic tail risk. At a realistic claim rate of 3–5% across one million cats, Year 1 yield of ~£9M funds the insurer comfortably with surplus to spare — before any ICP appreciation.
Anything above £500 in any single year is the holder's responsibility — but the Nina Card round-up reserve is there to cover exactly that gap. And the collective purchasing power of 1 million policyholders means the group rate is a fraction of anything an individual could negotiate alone.
Year 1 cover is fully funded by ICP staking yield — ~£9M at current APY, comfortably above realistic claims of £5–12M. Years 2–5 require ICP to grow. If it does not, the protocol closes at Year 2 and £95 is returned. Retail cat insurance costs £200–400/yr — Nina G's net cost is £5 whether the cycle runs one year or five.
Nina G is the world's first on-chain pet insurance protocol. The tokenomics are designed around one goal: funding cat cover from ICP staking yield, returning capital to every holder at cycle close, and sharing the ICP upside honestly. Year 1 is structurally guaranteed. Years 2–5 depend on ICP growth.
The founder paid nothing for their 350M tokens. They paid with everything else — the time, the vision, the risk of building something that didn't exist. That's the only honest way to say it. On Bonanza Day, 35% of ICP surplus goes to the founder. 50% goes to every holder equally. 15% funds the next cycle of operations and growth.
The founder's tokens may also appreciate independently. But the Bonanza Day surplus is separate — it comes from ICP treasury growth, not from holders. Everyone wins from the same engine. No one wins at anyone else's expense.
Why 88% of UK cats are uninsured, why the existing model can never fix it, and why blockchain treasury yield changes everything. Historical claims data, the insurer proposition, and the full investment case for $NINAG — in one document.
It sounds impossible. It isn't. Here's every part of it — honestly, in plain language, no jargon.
Your £100 entry splits immediately: £95 goes into a treasury — staked in ICP on the blockchain — where it earns yield. That yield is what funds the insurer, pays the vet bills, and keeps the cover running for five years. At Year 5, your £95 is returned to you in full. The insurance effectively cost you the remaining £5. Not a trick. Not small print. That's the structure.
The insurer does — funded by treasury yield. Year 1 yield alone is ~£14M. Across a million cats, realistic annual claims run £5–12M. The maths works comfortably. The insurer gets paid before claims are even made.
Your $NINAG tokens are separate from your cover — they're your stake in the protocol itself. Once the token trades publicly, a million-holder protocol with a growing reputation has demand behind it. It may go up. It may not. But it costs you nothing extra — it comes with the £100.
If ICP grows over five years — 2×, 5×, 10× — the treasury is worth more than £95M. That growth above the original stake is the surplus. 50% goes to every holder equally. At 10× ICP, that's over £400 per person. On top of your £95 back. On top of cover worth far more than £5.
ICP is a public blockchain running at web speed — no middlemen, no banks, no servers to trust. The Nina G treasury stakes directly into the Network Nervous System, ICP's on-chain governance engine, paying verified staking rewards since 2021. internetcomputer.org →
ICP staking is publicly verifiable and has been running since 2021. A pooled insurance treasury funding a fixed claim limit across a large group is actuarially standard. Neither part is exotic. Nina G combines them — and that combination is what makes the £5 net cost real.
Conventional insurers never asked this question because they don't run treasuries — they run risk books. They take your premium, price the risk, and keep what's left. The idea of returning your capital was simply never part of their model. Nina G was built on a different question entirely:
What if the investment returns covered the cost — and the capital just came home?
No lengthy forms. No vet records. No complex underwriting. Just the basics — so we can activate your cat's cover within 30 days of your £100 payment clearing.
When a cat dies, a holder who chooses not to replace their pet can pass the policy on — free of charge — to a friend's new kitten. No new £100 payment. No new tokens needed. Your five years of cover transfers. Your loyalty built it. Your friendship passes it on.
The only condition: the gifting holder's tokens must remain unbroken. The moment they're sold, the gift lapses — immediately. The policy lives or dies with the hold. And at Bonanza Day, the gifting holder still receives their full capital return and surplus share — the gift costs nothing except the commitment to keep holding.
At the end of the five-year cycle every holder gets their £95 principal returned in full. Whatever ICP has grown to above the original £95M stake is the surplus — split honestly between holders, the founder, and the protocol.
Your $NINAG tokens remain yours throughout and may appreciate independently on top. Then the cycle begins again — same structure, stronger foundation.
| ICP at Bonanza Day | Treasury Value | Surplus above £95M | Founder (35%) | Ops kitty (15%) | Each of 1M holders (50%) | + £95 back | Net cost of 5yr cover |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1× — flat (worst case) | £95M | £0 | £0 | £0 | £0 | £95 | £5 |
| 2× ICP | £190M | £95M | £33.25M | £14.25M | £47.50 | £95 | £5 |
| 5× ICP | £475M | £380M | £133M | £57M | £190 | £95 | £5 |
| 10× ICP | £950M | £855M | £299.25M | £128.25M | £427.50 | £95 | £5 |
| 20× ICP | £1.9B | £1.805B | £631.75M | £270.75M | £902.50 | £95 | £5 |
| 50× ICP | £4.75B | £4.655B | £1.629B | £698.25M | £2,327.50 | £95 | £5 |
| 100× ICP | £9.5B | £9.405B | £3.292B | £1.411B | £4,702.50 | £95 | £5 |
These figures assume dissolution begins in Year 3 — the NNS neuron starts its 2-year dissolve countdown so the full £95M principal is liquid and returned to every holder on Bonanza Day at Year 5. Yield continues to be earned and paid to the insurer throughout the dissolve period — cover is unaffected. The surplus column is the growth of the treasury above the original £95M stake. 50% of that goes to holders, 35% to the founder, 15% into the operations kitty to strengthen the next cycle. The £95 principal return and the net £5 cost of cover hold in every scenario including flat ICP. $NINAG tokens are held throughout and may appreciate independently. Illustrative figures — subject to ICP market conditions.
£95M is converted to ICP and staked in NNS neurons — the governance layer of the Internet Computer Protocol. 8-year neurons currently earn approximately 9–10% base APY, rising year-on-year as the neuron's age bonus builds (up to +25% over 4 years). That yield — not the principal — funds every insurance premium. At a realistic claim rate of 3–5% across one million cats, Year 1 yield of ~£9M covers the insurer and claims comfortably without any ICP appreciation at all. To ensure the £95M principal is returned in full on Bonanza Day, dissolution begins in Year 3 — the neuron starts dissolving over the final two years so the principal is fully liquid and returned to holders by Year 5.
Nina G proposes a commercial structure no insurer has ever been offered: a group policy covering one million cats, funded entirely from ICP staking yield, with no individual underwriting, no claims administration overhead, and one single counterparty. Premium income starts at Year 1 yield and grows as ICP appreciates — capped at an agreed maximum so the treasury retains the upside.
The insurer gets the largest single cat policy book ever written. Guaranteed income from day one. Zero acquisition cost. One invoice per year. If ICP fails to grow, Year 1 cover is fully funded from base yield — but Years 2–5 would require renegotiation with the insurer, drawing on the £5M ops reserve. This is a stress scenario, not a design flaw — and it is disclosed honestly to every holder upfront. If ICP performs they receive a growing, guaranteed, zero-admin income stream for five years. The bet is heavily weighted in their favour — which is exactly why they will take it.
| Year | ICP Scenario | NNS Yield Available | Est. Annual Claims (3–5%) | Insurer Premium Paid | Protocol Action |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1 | ICP at entry price · neuron age 0 | ~£9M (9.5% base APY) | £4.5M–£12.5M | ~£7–8M contracted rate — insurer covered day one | All 1M cats covered · yield exceeds claims · surplus retained |
| Year 2 | ICP steady or appreciating · age bonus building | ~£10M–£18M | £4.5M–£12.5M | Pre-contracted higher rate | Cover continues · insurer earns more · surplus accumulates |
| Year 3 ★ | ICP 2–5× · age bonus at ~15% | ~£12M–£45M | £4.5M–£12.5M | Higher — pre-contracted cap approaching | Dissolution begins. Neuron starts 2-year dissolve countdown. Yield continues throughout dissolve period. Cover unaffected. |
| Year 4 | ICP 3–10× · dissolving | ~£14M–£90M | £4.5M–£12.5M | Capped maximum — agreed at outset | All cats still covered · principal dissolving towards liquid · surplus growing |
| Year 5 · Bonanza Day ★ | Neuron fully dissolved · principal liquid | Final year yield | £4.5M–£12.5M | Final contracted payment | £95 returned to every holder · surplus split · cycle resets |
| If ICP flat/falls | Principal intact · yield at base rate only | ~£9M (Year 1 base only — no growth) | £4.5M–£12.5M | Year 1 rate only — insurer funded in Year 1. Years 2–5 subject to renegotiation if yield does not grow. | Year 1 cover is fully funded. If ICP does not grow, the insurer cannot be funded at the contracted rate for Year 2 — the protocol closes and £95 is returned to every holder at that point. The £5M ops reserve may extend cover by one year but cannot sustain the full five-year cycle. Honest position: flat ICP ends the protocol early, not in failure — your capital comes back, your Year 1 cover was real, your net cost was £5. |
★ Year 3 dissolution is the key structural mechanic — the neuron begins dissolving over exactly 2 years so the principal is fully liquid and returned to holders on Bonanza Day at Year 5. Yield continues to accrue and be paid to the insurer throughout the dissolve period. The £95M principal is returned at cycle close — Year 5 if ICP grows as modelled, or early if yield cannot fund the insurer beyond Year 1. All yield figures assume 8-year neuron with age bonus building. Claims estimated at 3–5% of 1M cats, average payout £150–250. All figures illustrative — subject to ICP market conditions and insurer negotiations.
Year 1 cover is fully funded. If ICP grows, up to five years of cover follows with £95 returned at cycle close. If ICP is flat after Year 1, the protocol closes and £95 is returned early. Either way, your capital comes back. Either way, the cover cost you £5.
Year 1 vet cover fully funded. If ICP grows, cover runs up to five years and £95 is returned at cycle close with a surplus share on top. If ICP is flat after Year 1, the protocol closes early and £95 is returned. $NINAG tokens are yours either way.
After Bonanza Day the cycle closes. If you want another five years of cover, you re-register and pay another £100. Fresh cycle. Fresh ICP stake. Your old $NINAG tokens stay with you — they're yours regardless.
Most investments have one floor: you lose your money and get nothing. Nina G has a different floor entirely. The £95 principal is staked in NNS neurons and returned at cycle close — whether that's Year 5 or earlier if ICP does not support the full term. The token price has no bearing on capital return.
If ICP is flat after Year 1, the insurer cannot be funded at the contracted rate for Year 2. At that point the protocol closes — your £95M principal is returned to every holder in full. You had one year of £500 vet cover. Your £95 came back. Your net cost of that year of cover was £5.
Retail cat insurance costs £200–400 per year. Even one year of Nina G cover — with your £95 returned — nets out at £5. If the full five years run, the cost is still £5. If it closes at Year 2 or 3, it's still £5. The capital return is what makes the floor so strong regardless of duration.
No individual has leverage with a pet insurer. One million holders — pooling £95M into ICP staking with one unified policy — have more leverage than any buyer in the history of pet insurance. That is what makes the group rate possible. That is what makes the yield work. That is what makes the deal.
Nina G walks into an insurer with 1 million pre-committed policyholders, £95M staked in ICP neurons, and a Year 1 guaranteed premium — with a contracted escalating schedule for Years 2–5 subject to ICP yield growth. The insurer's customer acquisition cost is zero. Their risk pool is the largest in pet insurance history.
Retail cat insurance: £200–400/yr. The group rate funded by ICP yield means the insurer is paid from treasury — not from holders' pockets. The yield at 3–5% claim rates covers the insurer from Year 1 with no ICP appreciation required.
The Nina Card is not a day-one promise. It is a year-two reward — issued only once ICP appreciation generates surplus yield above the capped premium. Year one is clean and simple: buy the token, stake it, your cat is covered. If the protocol performs as designed, year two brings two cards to your door and a round-up that builds your cat's personal vet reserve with every purchase you make.
"You held. ICP grew. Here are your cat's cards. That's the bet — and that's the reward."
