Centrifuge has unveiled an integrated vault system designed to serve as the backbone for deploying comprehensive financial products, including funds, ETFs, and structured credit, directly onchain.
What the vaults actually do
The architecture rests on a few key design choices. At its core, the system uses an immutable base layer paired with customizable extensions. The immutable part handles the fundamental logic that shouldn’t change, while the modular extensions allow asset managers to plug in compliance mechanisms, investment logic, and balance sheet management tools without rebuilding from scratch.
The system adopts the ERC-7540 standard for asynchronous operations, enabling request-based deposits and redemptions that can align with offchain settlement timelines. The system also supports ERC-4626 for synchronous operations alongside ERC-7575 for multi-asset support, meaning a single vault can handle multiple asset types and accommodate both instant and delayed settlement workflows.
The platform offers one-click deployment of share tokens and vaults, reducing what would traditionally be a complex engineering lift into something closer to a configuration exercise.
