Centrifuge and Compass Labs have teamed up to make tokenized real-world assets dramatically easier to use. The partnership, announced on August 6, integrates Centrifuge’s deRWA tokens into Compass Labs’ API ecosystem, letting developers, fintech companies, and even AI agents interact with tokenized credit and equity products through natural language inputs.
Instead of wiring together bespoke integrations for every asset and platform, users describe what they want, and Compass converts that into sign-ready transactions.
What the integration actually does
Compass Labs’ infrastructure can bundle up to 43 individual transactions into a single signature operation.
The integration covers two of Centrifuge’s flagship deRWA tokens: deSPXA, which provides tokenized S&P 500 exposure, and deJAAA, representing tokenized AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations. Both can now be accessed through one-call API endpoints that support DEX swaps and various financial strategies across Ethereum and Base.
Gas sponsorship is baked into the system, which means execution costs drop alongside complexity. The whole setup remains fully non-custodial. Users and agents retain custody of their assets and get the final sign-off on every transaction.
Compass Labs, backed by a16z crypto, specializes in onchain finance infrastructure. Its API layer essentially translates intent into execution, which is particularly useful when the underlying operations involve looping strategies, multi-asset swaps, or liquidity pooling across multiple protocols.
deJAAA’s rapid growth tells a bigger story
deJAAA hit $1 billion in assets under management faster than any prior Centrifuge product. Centrifuge’s total onchain tokenized assets now exceed $2 billion.
The deRWA framework transforms regulated financial products into transferable onchain counterparts. The Compass Labs integration extends this further by making those assets accessible outside of Centrifuge’s native platform, opening them up to any developer or application that can hit an API.
Compass Labs published a detailed blog post on August 10 outlining the technical specifics of the integration. The post emphasized how the system handles asset attribution, essentially the metadata and routing logic that determines which assets go where, without requiring each platform to build custom connectors.
Why reducing friction matters more than it sounds
Consider what asset looping looks like without this kind of infrastructure. A user would need to approve tokens, execute swaps, deposit into lending protocols, borrow against positions, and repeat, each step requiring a separate transaction with its own gas fee and confirmation time.
Compass generates the transaction payloads, but the user holds the keys and approves the final execution.
