Ecosystem

  • Groundbreaking new tech doesn’t fall from the sky. To develop the ecosystem further to tap into its full potential - technically, financially and legally - the right personnel is needed. Welcome @rayesalexander to Centrifuge - who brings experience from traditional finance and DeFi to the ecosystem!
