### What is Wrapped Centrifuge?

Wrapped Centrifuge (WCFG) is an ERC-20 synthetic token on the Ethereum blockchain, designed to represent Centrifuge (CFG) on a 1:1 ratio. This allows users to engage with the Ethereum ecosystem while maintaining the value of their CFG holdings. WCFG enables users to leverage Ethereum-based decentralised applications (dApps) and features, enhancing the interoperability of the Centrifuge network with Ethereum.

### How does Wrapped Centrifuge work?

Wrapped Centrifuge functions through a token bridging mechanism, allowing users to convert their CFG tokens to WCFG and vice versa. This process utilises smart contracts to bridge the CFG tokens to the Ethereum network, where they are wrapped and created as WCFG. The fundamental goal is to maintain interoperability, thereby enabling CFG users to interact with Ethereum's vast ecosystem of dApps, especially those that support ERC-20 tokens.

### What are the potential use cases for Wrapped Centrifuge?

Wrapped Centrifuge can be used in various scenarios, primarily within the Ethereum-based DeFi ecosystem. Key use cases include:

- **DeFi Services**: Users can leverage WCFG to participate in Ethereum-based financial services and decentralised finance protocols.
- **Tokenization of Real-World Assets**: Centrifuge's Tinlake app allows for the tokenization of assets like real estate and invoices, turning them into NFTs used for DeFi lending, which is then accessible with WCFG.
- **Supply Chain Financing**: By facilitating working capital solutions through tokenized real-world assets, users can potentially manage their supply chains more efficiently.
  
### What is the history of Wrapped Centrifuge?

Centrifuge, the project behind WCFG, was founded in 2017 by a team with extensive experience in finance and supply chain solutions. The Wrapped Centrifuge token (WCFG) became notable for facilitating real-world asset integration with DeFi protocols. Significant milestones include integrating asset pools with MakerDAO and developing liquidity solutions that integrate with various blockchain networks, including Ethereum. Over the years, it has seen significant updates, like the launch of Centrifuge Prime and participation in the Tokenized Asset Coalition, aiming to further advance the tokenized asset industry.
