🀯 The last half decade has been a crazy ride for Centrifuge! The project has gone from an idea to a fully functional product with $90M in TVL on Tinlake, parachain launch, huge partnerships, pools launching directly on the Centrifuge Chain and much, much more. Regardless of market conditions, we keep building and putting all our efforts and energy towards what is important; to provide a high quality infrastructure protocol for borrowing and lending money against assets! πŸ§‘β€πŸ€β€πŸ§‘ πŸ‘­ πŸ‘« πŸ‘¬ The community, engineers, designers, marketing, business development, pool issuers, ambassadors and moderators are all working together to shape the project in the right direction. Together, we are shaping the future of finance! πŸ›£ If anyone has any doubts as to where we are headed, let us take a trip down memory lane together and see how far we have come already!

Tinlake key metrics [V2](https://v2.tinlake.centrifuge.io/) (May 2020 - October 2020): Total financed = 3,610,462 DAI ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/centrifuge1/original/2X/5/53cfd807deab98d2169aa6f285308190052dcb92.png) [V3](https://tinlake.centrifuge.io/?showAll=true) (October 2020 - present ): | DATE | TVL | | --- | --- | | October 2020 (launch) | 20 000 DAI | | December 2020 | 1 500 000 DAI | | June 2021 | 25 000 000 DAI | | December 2021 | 50 000 000 DAI | | June 2022 | 90 000 000 DAI πŸ‘€ | ![](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/centrifuge1/original/2X/b/b614fe0632095f2884d35c903c79980cefe2c085.png) πŸ“ˆ Tinlake’s TVL has been constantly growing, and at a very rapid pace in most periods. This is a great testimony of the trust in the protocol, and the fact that investors are looking for ways to earn yield on (real world) assets that are uncorrelated to the crypto market. πŸ—“ If you want to stay up to date with all recent events, we have a monthly summary where all important things are covered. You can find all the monthly summaries [here](https://gov.centrifuge.io/tag/monthly-summary). Let us know in the comments πŸ‘‡ if we have forgotten any important milestones! ---

Thanks, Rhano! That’s a pretty long list of milestones and shows how active the ecosystem is! Time flies and hopefully Centrifuge gets the full attention it deserves very soon. RWAs are here to stay! ✌ 🫡 ---

It is inevitable mate - I can hear you made it to the AMA! DeFi had its summer, NFT had its spring - now add some RWA’s to that cocktail and we have ourselves a very interesting season πŸ•Ά ---

πŸ₯³ And we can now add two more milestones to the already impressive list of milestones: - [Altair secured another slot as a Kusama parachain](https://medium.com/altair-network/altair-we-got-a-parachain-again-784c7c296abb) - [The first pool on the Altair App has gone live](https://gov.centrifuge.io/t/pools-on-altair-live/4407) You can check the Altair App and the pool [here](https://app.altair.network/investments/3570548277). Note that this pool is for testing purposes and is not yet open for the public to invest in.
