It is great to see the engagement within the community for this working group. With a treasury as large as Arbitrum’s, we believe this is a critically important initiative.
In addition to the other service providers here, the Centrifuge team would like propose an interim research initiative on items within the Taskboard.
We would like to conduct and present case studies and research on:
- Diversification of treasury holdings using real world assets, including a deep dive into portfolio considerations, relevant asset classes, and overall portfolio execution
- Operational and execution considerations for RWA investments, including legal and compliance considerations for decentralized entities, deal structures for relevant investments, and best practices across financial and risk considerations
The basis of our research is the Centrifuge Prime managed services offering for DeFi native organizations. This is the result of our years of work with DAOs such as Maker and Aave, our significant time in market as the first RWA protocol and current leader by TVL, and our expertise with legal and deal structures that have supported hundreds of millions of RWA investments. To date, Centrifuge and our ecosystem of partners represents the largest RWA investments within the DeFi and DAO landscape.
Centrifuge is actively working on deploying to Arbitrum and has been collaborating with the ecosystem in bringing RWAs here.
We believe our perspective and expertise is a significant value-add in relation to the work of other providers within this thread. We view providers such as AvanteGarde and KarpatKey as ideal partners for whom Centrifuge Prime can augment and expand their inherent capabilities. We see our role alongside these providers as collaborative, with the ability to offer bespoke expertise, legal and technical infrastructure, and an broad ecosystem of assets and issuers.
We look forward to hearing from the community and Plurality Labs. We’d like to thank the team for their time and engagement so far!
