Most DeFi apps rely on crypto assets (like ETH) as collateral. Centrifuge takes a different route and focuses on tokenizing real-world assets. The goal is to make it easier for businesses to access liquidity and to give investors more ways to earn returns that may be less tied to crypto price swings.
What Is Centrifuge?
Centrifuge is a protocol designed for real-world asset tokenization and financing. In simple terms, it helps convert off-chain assets into on-chain tokens. Once those assets are represented on the blockchain, they can be used in structured pools where investors supply capital and businesses receive funding.
Centrifuge is often described as a bridge between:
Traditional finance (assets like invoices, loans, and funds)DeFi (on-chain pools, smart contracts, and token-based investing)
How Centrifuge Works
The exact setup can differ depending on the asset and pool, but the process usually looks like this:
1) Businesses bring assets to the platform
Businesses (often called asset originators) submit information about assets they want to tokenize. Examples include invoices or parts of a credit portfolio.
2) Compliance checks
Some pools require identity and compliance checks, such as KYC/AML, depending on the structure and jurisdiction.
3) Assets are tokenized as NFTs
After validation, assets can be minted as ERC-721 NFTs. These NFTs represent the underlying asset and can link to supporting documentation.
4) NFTs are used to create financing pools
The NFTs can be used as collateral in pools. Investors add capital to these pools, and pool tokens are issued to represent positions in the pool.
Technology Overview
Centrifuge operates across multiple layers and networks:
Centrifuge Chain: an EVM-native Layer 1 used for lower-cost tokenization and governance.Multi-chain support: Centrifuge also works across multiple networks, including Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and Solana. It uses bridging services to move assets and liquidity between ecosystems.Data verification: Oracles can be used to help verify asset-related data and support on-chain transparency.
What Is CFG Used For?
CFG is the main token in the Centrifuge ecosystem. It’s used for:
Governance: CFG holders can vote on decisions like protocol upgrades and rules around what assets can be included.Staking: Users can stake CFG to support network security and earn staking rewards (depending on the network rules).Fees: CFG can also be used to pay transaction and network fees.
Centrifuge Prime
Centrifuge Prime is an institutional-focused offering. It’s designed as a set of tools for things like:
Tokenized funds and structured products.Professional credit portfolios.On-chain issuance features (including index-style products).
Common Use Cases
Centrifuge can be used for:
Invoice and trade finance: Businesses raising working capital using invoices or receivables.Tokenized funds: Investment products built around assets like broad market exposure or government debt.Credit portfolios: Packaging credit exposures into on-chain structures.Real estate tokenization: Turning property-related assets into tokens.On-chain equity experiments: Exploring equity issuance using blockchain technology.
Things to Keep in Mind
RWA projects can be useful, but they also add extra layers compared to pure crypto DeFi. Some common points to review are:
Real-world risks: The underlying business and asset quality still matter. It’s important to check what exactly is being tokenized and how it is verified.Legal structure: Tokenization doesn’t remove the need for legal documentation.Liquidity limits: Some pools may have lockups, withdrawal windows, or limited secondary liquidity.Smart contract and bridge risks: Multi-chain systems can add more technical risk.Compliance rules: KYC/AML requirements may apply depending on jurisdiction and pool structure.
