Re Protocol: Bringing Reinsurance Yield Onchain via Avalanche
Exploring Re Protocol: a restaking platform unlocking reinsurance yield on Avalanche and new opportunities for its community.
The reinsurance market is one of the thriving sectors of institutional capital that had never been brought onchain. Re Protocol saw this gap and a real problem to solve and proceeded to tokenize reinsurance contracts and introduce an accessible and decentralized yield opportunity for investors and crypto natives. Re is not just a pioneer restaking platform leveraging reinsurance contracts but a novel initiative using blockchain technology to improve the world.
What is Re Protocol
Re is a decentralized reinsurance protocol that connects institutional capital with fully collateralized insurance risk. In simpler terms, Re is a decentralized platform that leverages reinsurance contracts to generate yield on staked capital.
Roughly, 80% of people and businesses worldwide rely on some form of insurance. But sometimes, the risks insurers take on are simply too big for one company to handle alone. That’s where reinsurance comes in: insurers pass part of their risk to other insurers, who in turn share a portion of the premiums. This system helps spread risk, keep enough capital in play, and cushion losses when disaster strikes. Still, traditional reinsurance has its shortcomings like: lack of transparency, heavy dependence on middlemen, and high entry barriers that keep new capital providers out.
Re Protocol solves these issues by carrying out the risk management process on the blockchain ensuring: fractional ownership, low barrier of entry, transparency, less dependence on intermediaries, yield opportunities for investors in all transforming capital flow within the industry, creating a new opportunity for insurers & investors and enabling entities recover quickly from unforeseen events.
Re aligns with Avalanche’s mission to improve institutional adoption and also brings a new wave of opportunities to the Avalanche defi ecosystem.
How Re Works
Re is based on real offchain insurance programs and provides a structure where users provide capital to back these insurance programs, thereby earning returns from the premiums paid. To reduce the risk burden on capital providers, Re focuses on non-catastrophic, low-risk and short duration portfolios like: Automobile insurance, Commercial general liability coverage and Property insurance with limited exposure, with a collateral release period of 18 months and steady yield of reUSD and reUSDe.

Choose a compatible funded wallet.
Stake your desired amount of stablecoins like: USDC, AUSD, DAI, USDe or sUSDe, which get deposited into an Insurance Capital Layer (ICL). ICLs are the core custody vaults that hold user deposits and allocate capital to the real‑world reinsurance market.
Choose your preferred ICL either Basis‑Plus or Alpha. The Basic-plus ICL is for low profile investments and you mint $reUSD after depositing into it. Alpha is the ICL for medium-high risk programs and you mint $reUSDe after depositing into it.
They are both yield bearing tokens, so you earn yield from premiums and delta neutral strategies leading to 15%--23% yield and 6%--9% yield respectively.
