Project Introduction
Centrifuge is a decentralized asset finance protocol that unlocks liquidity for real-world assets. Borrowers can finance their real-world assets without banks or other intermediaries, bridging them into Decentralized Finance (DeFi) to reduce the cost of capital for SMEs and provide DeFi investors with a stable source of yield that is uncorrelated from volatile crypto assets. Tinlake is Centrifuge's investment app, acting as an open marketplace of real-world asset pools. Investors can browse the pools provided by Asset Originators and invest in the ones that best suit them. Centrifuge Chain is the home for real-world assets (RWA) on the blockchain. It is a Proof-of-Stake blockchain built on Substrate that enables users to bring their assets on-chain as non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
