Centrifuge: Centrifuge is a decentralized protocol for tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain. It enables asset managers and issuers to bring institutional-grade financial products — such as treasury funds, credit funds, and structured products — onto public blockchains using the ERC-7540 vault standard.
The protocol handles the full lifecycle of tokenized assets, including investor onboarding, epoch-based deposit and redemption processing, NAV management, and multi-chain token distribution across Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, and other EVM-compatible networks.
Centrifuge's deRWA wrapping service allows issuers to create freely transferable versions of their tokens, designed for integration into DeFi protocols such as lending markets and liquidity pools. The Centrifuge token (CFG) is used for on-chain governance of the protocol.
As of 2026, the protocol underpins tokenized funds managed by established institutions including Janus Henderson, Apollo, and Anemoy, with assets deployed across multiple chains. Institutional-grade RWAs, unlocked for DeFi deRWA offers issuers a unique wrapping service to create freely transferable tokens, designed to integrate seamlessly with decentralized finance protocols such as lending markets, DEXes and yield platforms – enabling broader utility, adoption, and liquidity for tokenized RWAs.
