DeFi and the Blockchain Multiverse
summary
Centrifuge builds on-chain credit funds that tokenize invoices, real estate and royalties so those assets become collateral in DeFi; the claim is that real-world borrowing costs fall dramatically by cutting intermediaries. A demonstrated financing chain uses a five-project flow — mint an NFT on Centrifuge chain, lock it in a pool, borrow DAI from Maker, swap via AMMs/aggregators to USDC, then convert to fiat via Circle — turning a weeks-long bank process into minutes. TVL context: DeFi ~$80B vs JP Morgan $25T. Launching Altair parachain on Kusama to prototype these integrations.
