March DROP💧CFG, Parachain strategy news, $5M TVL & more
Hello Centrifuge World!
It’s been an eventful month over at Centrifuge, our TVL is growing at an increasingly fast rate, and so has our work for the Polkadot ecosystem, and that’s not all, so read on to get up to speed with all our news for the month…
We have given $RAD a makeover and it’s now $CFG! 🤩
The artist formerly known as Radial token (RAD) will now be the Centrifuge (aka CFG) token as we wanted to keep the token on brand. The change will first be reflected on Amber on 22nd March, then it will be implemented on-chain once it is approved by the democracy proposal submitted on Mainnet on the 29th March, so don’t panic if you still see $RAD in your wallet for now.

Woohoo our Parachain Launch Strategy is finally here ⛓️
We are DELIGHTED to announce our parachain launch strategy. By becoming a parachain Centrifuge hopes to strengthen its security, and gain access to the Polkadot network, and eventually by bridging to other chains, we will have the potential to connect to all other blockchains in the ecosystem.
BOOM we surpassed $5m TVL! 💸
In case you have been in hiding, we have officially reached and surpassed $5M TVL! The number just keeps going up and there’s still plenty of pools to invest in. AND a kind reminder from my last post that our onboarding process has been improved; we reduced the investment entry amount to $5K and we also halved the lock up period to 30 days.

Introducing Chachacha 💃
You may or may not have heard about the launch of our relay chain testnet Chachacha, in any case we are super excited to contribute this testing environment for Polkadot’s parachain ecosystem! We started building Chachacha to prepare Centrifuge Chain for Rococo, Polkadot’s Parachain testnet but have since heard feedback from several teams that this would be a useful tool to prepare for Rococo, so here it is live and kicking.
