Concepts

Centrifuge V3 introduces several core concepts that define how the protocol works. These concepts form the foundation for understanding tokenized strategies, vault behavior, and multi-chain asset management.

Explore these topics to get a clear overview of how Centrifuge fits together.

Tokenization

Turn real-world or onchain assets into programmable share tokens, backed by smart contract logic.

Multi-Chain Protocol

Access liquidity and interact with vaults on any supported chain, coordinated through a single hub.

Pools

Create and manage investment products using share classes, vaults, and permissioned logic.
