Real-World Yield Hits Solana DeFi: ONyc Launches on Kamino

OnRe’s ONyc, a yield-bearing asset backed by stablecoins, is now available on Kamino, Solana’s biggest DeFi money market. This is a big deal because it’s the first time reinsurance-backed yield is being used as collateral on Solana’s DeFi platform.

What is ONyc and Why is it Important?

ONyc lets users bring real-world yield into the Solana DeFi ecosystem. Think of it as a bridge between traditional finance and the decentralized world. Here’s what you can do with it:

  • Use it as collateral: Borrow, lend, or use complex trading strategies.
  • Earn high yield: Get a base yield of around 14%+, regardless of crypto market volatility.
  • 24/7 access: Trade ONyc anytime.
  • Transparent pricing: Track the value in real-time.

This all works thanks to Chainlink, which provides real-time, tamper-proof pricing data for ONyc.

Early Bird Incentives

To get people using ONyc, there are some sweet deals:

  • Borrowing Incentives: A $200,000 reward pool lowers borrowing costs for users who use ONyc as collateral to borrow USDG (a stablecoin) on Kamino.
  • Looping Strategies: You can use borrowed USDG to buy more ONyc or other assets, potentially boosting your returns. Incentives apply to up to $20 million in borrowing.
  • Ethena Points Multiplier: ONyc holders get a 5x multiplier on Ethena Points when depositing sUSDe, adding extra rewards.

What this Means for DeFi

This integration is a significant step forward for DeFi. It brings the stability and predictable returns of real-world assets into the decentralized world, opening up new possibilities for investors and traders. It also demonstrates the growing integration of real-world assets with blockchain technology.
