Centrifuge Integrates Tokenized Assets with Compass Labs for Streamlined DeFi Transactions

Centrifuge and Compass Labs have simplified the DeFi utilization process for tokenized real-world assets, cutting the number of on-chain transactions from up to 43 steps down to a single signature. Compass Labs announced on August 10 via its official blog that it has integrated Centrifuge's tokenized assets deSPXA and deJAAA into its non-custodial API.

This integration allows developers, fintech companies, and AI agents to trade, deposit, and borrow these assets on Ethereum and Base. deSPXA represents a tokenized S&P 500 exposure product, while deJAAA is a tokenized AAA-rated collateralized loan obligation (CLO). Both assets are part of Centrifuge's deRWA structure, designed to enable the use of traditional financial assets within on-chain applications.

The core feature is Compass Labs' transaction bundling. It combines multiple DeFi actions—such as swaps, deposits, withdrawals, and rebalancing—into a single atomic transaction, requiring only one wallet approval from users. Previously, each step required separate signatures, gas fees, and confirmations. The Compass Labs API bundles these operations in sequence with a single signature, without holding assets or private keys. Users or AI agents manage their assets and keys, with final transaction approvals occurring directly through the user's wallet.

Compass Labs converts natural language input from users into executable trade data to connect applications with on-chain financial products. This collaboration is not about launching new tokens or protocols but rather expanding infrastructure integration for existing tokenized assets. It particularly enhances loop strategies, where assets are deposited, borrowed against, and redeposited repeatedly—a process that becomes more efficient with fewer steps.

The August 10 announcement details the application of this bundling structure to connect tokenized assets with on-chain applications. Centrifuge's Q2 2026 retrospective noted that deJAAA and deTRSY have expanded across multiple blockchains and DeFi services, with total value locked (TVL) at $1.6 billion (approximately 2.1552 trillion KRW), a 6% decrease from the previous quarter.
