User documentation

Centrifuge is the open infrastructure for onchain asset management. Financial products are represented and operated onchain through pools: managers run product operations, investors access them from their own wallets, and curators design and oversee onchain allocation strategies. Centrifuge provides the rails, and each product remains the responsibility of its manager.

This section is organized by role. Each guide describes what the platform enables for that role, while the shared background is covered in Concepts.

Roles

Managers structure a financial product and operate it onchain through the Management app: issuance, investor access, pricing, orders, distribution and reporting, from one interface and without writing code. See the manager guide.

Investors get direct onchain access to tokenized products: they invest from their own wallet, hold a token representing their position and redeem according to the product's terms. See the investor guide.

Curators design and oversee how a pool's capital is allocated across onchain positions. The Onchain Portfolio Manager provides controlled execution: managers define the permitted workflows and limits, and authorized operators run them. See the curator guide.

These roles can come together in the same product: the manager operates the pool, investors enter and exit through its vaults and, where the strategy includes onchain allocation, a curator manages how its capital is deployed.

One product, three roles: the manager operates the pool, investors enter and exit through its vaults, and the curator, as the product's portfolio manager, allocates its capital across onchain venues.
