Centrifuge
Centrifuge, founded in 2017 by Lucas Vogelsang, Martin Quensel and Maex Ament in Berlin, builds tokenized private credit and real-world asset infrastructure spanning Centrifuge Chain and Ethereum. Its platform, Centrifuge Prime and its pools, lets asset managers tokenize receivables, treasuries and loans with on-chain transparency, compliance controls and integrations to DeFi lending via Aave and MakerDAO. Headquartered in Berlin with hubs in New York and remote, Centrifuge bridges structured finance and DeFi composability while emphasizing credit risk, legal structuring and reporting for institutions. Governed as open infrastructure with CFG token, the protocol funds ecosystem grants for asset originators. Expect a credit and compliance-focused culture that values structured finance craft, transparent accounting and expanding durable on-chain access to private credit markets.
