OnRe is a DeFi insurance protocol on Solana that operates as a fully licensed, on-chain reinsurance company regulated by the Bermuda Monetary Authority. Rather than providing coverage for smart contract exploits or protocol failures, OnRe intermediates between crypto capital and the global property and casualty reinsurance market, a sector exceeding $800 billion in annual premiums. Its core product, ONyc, is a yield-bearing token backed by real reinsurance underwriting activity across short-tail lines including auto and homeowners insurance, with the token's net asset value updated regularly to reflect earned premiums net of claims. The protocol occupies a distinct position in the DeFi insurance space by generating returns from licensed underwriting rather than protocol emissions or leveraged positions. Estimated base APY has been cited in the 9–15% range, with returns structurally uncorrelated to crypto market volatility because they derive from insurance contract performance. OnRe's DeFi integrations span Kamino money markets, Orca liquidity pools, Loopscale leverage strategies, Carrot yield amplification vaults, and Exponent risk tranching, making ONyc composable across the Solana DeFi stack as a yield-bearing dollar asset.
