OnRe’s yield-bearing asset, ONyc, is now accepted as collateral within Solana’s DeFi (decentralized finance) ecosystem.
This development enables the integration of real-world yield sources into DeFi applications.
Incentive programs from USDG and Ethena have launched to reduce borrowing costs, enhance yield opportunities and support the use of real-world collateral on-chain.
Onchain Yield Coin (ONyc), a yield-bearing, stablecoin-backed asset issued by OnRe, is now live on Kamino, Solana’s largest DeFi money market.
This integration marks the first time reinsurance-backed yield is being used as on-chain collateral in Solana DeFi, opening access to real-world risk through a composable, liquid and resilient asset.
A new form of yield in DeFi
Kamino secures over $700 million in stablecoin TVL (total value locked) and underpins liquidity and capital strategies across the Solana ecosystem.
With ONyc now live on Kamino, users can do the following.
- Leverage ONyc as collateral for borrowing, lending or looping strategies
- Earn approximately 14% base yield uncorrelated to crypto volatility
- Enter or exit positions 24/7 with on-chain liquidity
- Track NAV in real time through verifiable pricing data
Together, these capabilities make ONyc a powerful tool for capital deployment across market conditions.
By enabling lending, borrowing and looping in a fully composable way, ONyc brings real-world yield into active use across Solana’s DeFi ecosystem.
The integration is powered by Chainlink’s Onchain NAV solution, which sources ONyc’s net asset value from OnRe and delivers it in real time via Chainlink data streams.
This ensures tamper-resistant pricing and enables secure collateralization, supporting reinsurance-backed strategies with verifiable, on-chain fund valuations.
Dan Roberts, co-founder and CEO of OnRe, said,
“ONyc’s launch on Kamino marks a broader shift in DeFi, bringing real-world yield to Solana with the transparency, liquidity and composability the ecosystem was built for.
“It introduces a new class of collateral designed to perform through market cycles and support sustained DeFi activity.
“Solana has become a hub for capital innovation, and Kamino continues to set the standard for how real-world assets should operate on-chain.”
Incentives designed for early participation
To encourage early adoption, OnRe is launching incentive programs in collaboration with Kamino, Global Dollar Network and Ethena.
Borrowing incentives
A $200,000 rewards pool is available to lower borrowing costs for users who deposit ONyc as collateral to borrow USDG on Kamino.
This reduces costs and creates room for more favorable yield spreads.
On behalf of Global Dollar Network, Nick Robnett at Paxos, said,
“This marks one of the first fully permissionless implementations of real-world yield distributed directly on-chain through DeFi.
“We are proud to support ONyc’s launch on Solana and Kamino, leveraging USDG to advance OnRe’s vision of bringing [RWAs] (real-world assets) with intrinsic value on-chain and making them accessible to a global user base.”
Looping strategies
Participants can also redeploy borrowed USDG to acquire additional ONyc or other assets, increasing exposure and unlocking higher returns.
Incentives apply on up to $20 million in total borrowing volume.
Ethena points multiplier
In addition, OnRe is offering a 5x Ethena points multiplier to ONyc holders on qualifying sUSDe deposits, unlocking additional rewards for those providing real-world yield collateral.
Integration of real-world yield mechanisms in DeFi
ONyc integrates premium-backed yield from RWAs with DeFi infrastructure, enabling an on-chain structure designed to support scalability and diversification beyond traditional financial instruments.
Mark Hull, a Kamino contributor, said,
“One of the most exciting things for Kamino’s users is onboarding high quality collateral assets, and ONyc is a great example of that.
“Access to credit and leverage for ONyc holders, powered by Kamino, is a great example of bringing DeFi utility to tokenize real-world investments.”
With base yields above 14% and expanding utility across Solana, ONyc gives users a high-performing alternative to traditional DeFi strategies.
