Quick Fact
Centrifuge bridges real-world assets to DeFi by enabling asset originators to tokenize RWAs and access liquidity from protocols like MakerDAO and Aave.
Real-World Asset Tokenization on Public Blockchains
Centrifuge is a decentralized protocol that brings RWAs—like invoices, real estate, and trade receivables—into DeFi. Asset originators can tokenize these off-chain assets into ERC-721 NFTs and mint Tinlake pools to raise capital on-chain from individual and institutional lenders.
Accessing DeFi Liquidity for Traditional Assets
Using Centrifuge, businesses can tap into global liquidity by offering tokenized RWAs as collateral. Through integrations with protocols like MakerDAO, Aave, and the Centrifuge-native Tinlake marketplace, issuers can borrow stablecoins (like DAI) against tokenized assets, enabling low-cost, transparent financing.
Built on Polkadot with Ethereum Interoperability
Centrifuge operates its own parachain on Polkadot for high throughput and scalability, while maintaining interoperability with Ethereum-based DeFi via bridges. Asset transactions, identity verification, and compliance logic can be enforced across chains, making Centrifuge a robust infrastructure layer for regulated RWA financing.
