Overview of the current crowdloans on Polkadot.

Centrifuge is the bridge for real-world assets to DeFi — unlocking liquidity without banks or other intermediaries. Businesses are using Centrifuge today to access the liquidity that DeFi offers, while investors finance assets for an attractive, stable yield.

Token Value

As the utility of Centrifuge grows, the Centrifuge token will capture the growing value provided to users of the network through each of the utilities described below. This value is primarily captured in the use of CFG for transaction fees, and additionally through its importance in Governance of the network.

Token Distribution

Current Snapshot, 425M CFG The initial Centrifuge Token Generation Event was executed by the Centrifuge Network Foundation. The initial distribution created 400,000,000 CFG, which was distributed to the Foundation and initial contributors, including; the core team, investors, and validators. Since genesis, roughly 25 million additional tokens have been minted as rewards for adoption.

Vesting Schedule

Core contributors and initial backers unlock linearly per month for 1 year starting July 2021. The core team members have 48 month lock-ups when they join, with a 12-month cliff. Rewards that have been distributed have no lock-ups.

interBTC, Interlay’s flagship product, is Bitcoin on any blockchain. Backed by multi-collateral insurance, interBTC resembles an algorithmic stablecoin pegged to and redeemable 1:1 for Bitcoin (i.e. a hybrid).

interBTC will bring radically open Bitcoin to Polkadot to kickstart liquidity for parachains like Acala, Moonbeam, Parallel, HydraDX, and many others.

In parallel, the team is working on bringing interBTC to Cosmos, Ethereum, and other major DeFi networks.

INTR Token Model

Interlay will be governed by its community from day 1 — via INTR, Interlay’s governance token. Interlay will go live via a fair launch scheme. Below is a summary of the Interlay token economy, as described in the token economy whitepaper (EN) released by Kintsugi Labs.

INTR tokens will be distributed to network participants, builders and early backers as airdrops and block-rewards. There will be no public sale or ICO.

The INTR token main purposes:

  • Governance: INTR token holders stake their tokens to make and vote on governance proposals.
  • Utility: Mid-term, Interlay will support transaction fee payments in INTR and other digital assets, in addition to DOT.

Supply and Emission

INTR features an unlimited supply. The emission schedule is defined as follows:

  • 1 billion (1,000,000,000) INTR emitted over the first 4 years
