1/ Let's talk about asset-backed vs. unsecured loans 🏡 An asset-backed loan is a loan supported by specific real-world assets. Unsecured loans have no collateral. The interest rate is usually higher to account for this extra risk. Loans on Centrifuge are asset-backed!

Our friends at @rwa_xyz just released their analytics dashboard covering the Real-World Asset ecosystem — including Centrifuge! Sustainable, diversified yields with real-world utility and impact are the next step for DeFi. See it in action here. 🌀 ⬇️ https://t.co/cjh46sJaFL 1/ Introducing @rwa_xyz - Analytics on real-world assets. In order for DeFi to fulfill its original mission of building a transparent, efficient financial system, real-world assets must be brought on-chain. 🧵 on RWAs and how we help investors allocate to them: https://t.co/MAWALv3lN1

Here's @VitalikButerin discussing real-world assets (RWA) in his latest post. Alongside @MakerDAO, we've been building—both on- and off-chain—to make RWA-backed stablecoins a reality (we were the first to back DAI with RWA!). Will 2023 be the year of RWA for DeFi? https://t.co/AxFtu9zBpl

Centrifuge Parachain Launch Process 🌀🔥 🧾 TLDR: Migration is as quick as possible Remove opportunities for security risks Ensure enough time to monitor stability Note that with the proposed approach we will be able to enable transfers 2-3 days after the state migration is done. 📆 Timeline 1. Monitor Stability [March 11 - March 28] Since the moment the shell is on-boarded onto Polkadot, stability of the chain will be monitored & tested until the migration process begins. 2. Bootstrap Council [expected before March 28] 3. State Migration [expected the week of March 28] This is the crucial step, and involves: Halting the Centrifuge <> Ethereum bridge Disabling transfers on standalone PoS chain Take Snapshot and execute migration of data with Sudo 4. Remove Sudo + Enable All Calls [after at least a 48h period of stability] 5. Enable Crowdloan Claiming [immediately after sudo removal] 6. Implement Collator Strategy 💌 More info from Cassidy here 👏👏

Hello Centrifuge Community Members 👾 Many of you have suggested moving completely over to Discord as the go-to tool of crypto communities. We have listened and discussed. ➡️ This is a notice that at the end of this week this 'Centrifuge Official' Telegram channel will become READ-ONLY and we will use it to post essential information about Centrifuge and Altair. 📪Telegram is a good tool for broadcasting but not for discussion. Both Centrifuge and Altair are working projects and a simple Q/A (without threads and subject specific channels) don't permit a deep and healthy dialogue. 🙏We want to shout-out to all the people that have joined and helped grow this telegram channel to where it is today, thank you to all the volunteers and ambassadors that selflessly have helped everyone in this channel. 📊 If you want to discuss Centrifuge and ways to build the future of finance you can head to our Discord or Forum. ❤️ Respect to all of you for being part of this project. Expect more big news soon 🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀🔥🌀

❓MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ❓ 1️⃣ WHEN WILL THE CFG CROWDLOAN REWARDS BE AVAILABLE? ▶️ Once Centrifuge has been onboarded as a parachain on Polkadot on block #9,388,800 (around 11th March), we will start the distribution process afterwards and you will be able to claim all your CFG. 20% will be available for transfer immediately - the rest will be vesting for the duration of the parachain lease (96 weeks). There will be more information and instructions regarding the claiming process as we approach the date. 2️⃣ CAN WE STAKE CFG RIGHT NOW? ▶️ Yes, you can stake your CFG tokens and staking currently takes place in the Centrifuge Portal. If you need instructions on how to get started, you can find an easy to understand manual here: https://gov.centrifuge.io/t/user-manual-for-accounts-and-staking-on-centrifuge/3028 3️⃣ CAN WE STAKE AIR RIGHT NOW? ▶️ There will be staking available but not the same way as we are used to now, like with Centrifuge. Once a project becomes a parachain on either Polkadot or Kusama, they will no longer need validators to secure their chain. The security will be provided by the Relay Chain validators (on either Polkadot or Kusama) and the parachains will have COLLATORS instead. There will be more information regarding collators on both Altair and Centrifuge. You can read more about what collators are here: https://wiki.polkadot.network/docs/learn-collator 4️⃣ WILL CFG/AIR BE LISTED ON MORE EXCHANGES? ▶️ We don't know about future listings and we don't comment on them either. It is up to the exchanges when and if they want to list any token. If you want to stay updated with new listings, you should follow the exchanges' social media for official listing announcements.
