Redemptions
ONyc Redemptions Overview
At OnRe, redemptions allow KYC'd holders of ONyc tokens to liquidate part or all of their position in ONyc SA on a structured schedule. Because ONyc operates at the intersection of reinsurance and DeFi, our goal is to introduce greater liquidity to capital that would traditionally remain locked for extended periods.
Primary market redemptions for ONyc are processed digitally through the OnRe platform. OnRe targets reserving up to 15% of underwriting capital to support liquidity needs. Monthly redemption capacity is targeted at up to 2.5% of ONyc SA net asset value (NAV). These figures represent operational targets and may vary based on portfolio conditions and liquidity management.

How Automated Redemptions Work
OnRe’s automated redemption system is designed to provide predictable liquidity while maintaining the stability required for regulated reinsurance underwriting.
The redemption process operates as follows:
Eligible investors deposit ONyc tokens into the redemption smart contract.
A redemption request is submitted through the institutional portal at https://app.onre.finance/institutional/redeem.
The request is recorded onchain and added to a transparent redemption queue.
The system estimates an expected execution time based on current liquidity and queue size.
Redemptions execute when sufficient USDC or USDG liquidity is available in the contract.
Fulfilment occurs at the prevailing ONyc offer price at the time of execution.
Upon redemption, the corresponding ONyc is automatically burned.
While waiting in the queue, the investor’s position remains economically active in ONyc SA and continues to reflect the underlying performance of the portfolio.
High-Level Design System
OnRe’s automated redemption infrastructure is built to ensure security, transparency, and operational integrity.
The smart contract ensures the custody and validity of each redemption request.
The backend fulfils redemptions at the current ONyc offer price at the time of execution, not at the time of submission.
All system settings can be adjusted by authorized administrators through a secure interface, with each change logged for full transparency.
Offer contracts custody both ONyc, USDC, and USDG.
The backend wallet can execute redemptions but cannot withdraw funds.
In the event of compromise, risk is limited to queue reordering.
Before any redemption is executed, the smart contract verifies that sufficient USDC or USDG is available. If not, the transaction reverts with a funding error and remains in Scheduled status.
Risk Considerations
Redemptions carry inherent risks, primarily related to liquidity and continued exposure.
The available amount of capital may be insufficient to meet redemption requests on an investor’s preferred timeline. If a request cannot be fulfilled immediately, it remains pending in the redemption queue until adequate liquidity becomes available.
Any portion of a request not redeemed immediately continues to be economically exposed to the performance of ONyc SA until the redemption is processed.
The participation agreement specifies that all redemptions are subject to the Available Amount. If liquidity is insufficient, redemption requests remain pending and will be executed at the prevailing NAV at the time of fulfilment.
FAQs
Who can redeem ONyc?
Redemptions are available to verified ONyc holders who have completed OnRe’s KYC process and meet accredited investor requirements.
Investors who acquired ONyc through the primary market are already verified. Users who acquired ONyc on secondary markets must complete OnRe’s AML/ATF procedures before submitting a redemption request.
Redemption payouts can only be sent to wallets that were verified during onboarding.
How do I request a redemption?
Eligible users can submit redemption requests through the institutional portal at https://app.onre.finance/institutional/redeem.
To request a redemption:
Deposit ONyc tokens into the redemption smart contract
Submit a redemption request through the application
The system will estimate an expected execution time based on available liquidity
All redemption requests are recorded onchain and added to a transparent queue.
When will my redemption be processed?
Redemptions are processed when sufficient USDC or USDG liquidity is available in the redemption contract.
OnRe targets:
Reserving up to 15% of underwriting capital to support redemptions
Weekly redemption capacity of up to 2.5% of ONyc SA’s NAV
Because requests are constrained by available liquidity, the application provides an estimated redemption timeline when the request is submitted.
Are redemptions processed immediately?
Not always. If sufficient liquidity is available, redemptions may execute quickly. If liquidity is temporarily unavailable, the request remains in the queue until capital becomes available. The redemption queue ensures requests are processed in a transparent and orderly manner.
What happens while my redemption request is waiting?
While a request is pending, the position continues to be economically exposed to ONyc SA’s performance until processed. This means the value of the position continues to move in line with ONyc’s underlying portfolio performance until the redemption is executed.
Is there a limit to how much I can redeem?
Individual redemption requests are not subject to a fixed size limit. However, total weekly redemption capacity is constrained by the Available Amount, which depends on liquidity and portfolio management considerations.
Large redemption requests may therefore take longer to process than smaller ones.
What happens if liquidity is temporarily unavailable?
If the redemption contract does not hold sufficient USDC or USDG to process a request, the redemption remains pending in the queue until liquidity becomes available. The smart contract automatically verifies liquidity before executing each redemption.
How secure is the redemption system?
The redemption infrastructure includes multiple safeguards:
Smart contracts custody ONyc, USDC, and USDG
Backend systems cannot mint or withdraw funds
Backend permissions are restricted to executing valid redemption requests
Administrative changes are logged and auditable
Even in the event of backend compromise, the primary risk is limited to queue reordering rather than loss of funds.
