🔹Current cAssets
Crypto Factor’s mapped assets are not theoretical — they are already live and operating in production. The first two cAssets, cDFI and cUSDC, demonstrate the range and flexibility of the model: one extends governance and staking power from a native blockchain, while the other establishes a stable liquidity backbone across the Interchain Mesh.
cDFI — Extending DeFiChain Participation
cDFI is the mapped version of DFI, the native token of DeFiChain. It was the first cAsset created by Crypto Factor and serves as a proof point for how mapped assets can extend the reach of existing ecosystems.
Backing and Minting: Each cDFI is backed 1:1 by DFI collateral that remains staked in Masternodes on the DeFiChain base layer. Users deposit or stake DFI into vault contracts, which then mint the equivalent amount of cDFI.
Governance Role: cDFI acts as a governance proxy. Holders can participate in DeFiChain governance decisions without needing to operate on the native chain directly, creating cross-chain accessibility for voting power.
Economic Utility: Beyond governance, cDFI enables participation in liquidity mining, provides staking rewards, and reduces fees on CFR token swaps within the Crypto Factor ecosystem.
Strategic Importance: cDFI demonstrates the model of “moving participation, not just capital.” It carries with it the weight of DFI’s economic activity, yet allows it to flow through the Crypto Factor Interchain Mesh where it can be paired, staked, and used to support client ecosystems.
In this way, cDFI bridges the DeFiChain community into the broader multi-chain economy without requiring custodial bridges or compromising decentralisation.
cUSDC — The Liquidity Mainstay
cUSDC is the mapped version of USDC, created via an open-source, independent contract released by Crypto Factor. While cDFI represents governance and staking participation, cUSDC represents stability — providing the foundation for liquidity across the cAsset ecosystem.
Backing and Minting: Each cUSDC is backed 1:1 by native USDC held within protocol vaults. The minting process is governed by the same mint-and-burn discipline as all cAssets, ensuring full reversibility.
Liquidity Backbone: cUSDC acts as the stable “denominator” across trading pairs and pools. By providing depth and reliability, it enables client tokens and other cAssets to launch with robust liquidity from day one.
Utility Across Ecosystem: Fees and swaps on the Crypto Factor platform can be routed through cUSDC, generating sustained buy pressure. It can be staked, paired, and used as the base layer for incentives.
Strategic Importance: Stability is a prerequisite for growth. By anchoring liquidity with a mapped stablecoin, the Crypto Factor ecosystem ensures that volatility in client tokens or other assets does not destabilise the broader mesh.
cUSDC has quickly become the mainstay of liquidity for cAssets, allowing seamless participation across chains while maintaining the predictability and depth that stable assets provide.
Together, cDFI and cUSDC showcase the dual nature of mapped assets: one rooted in governance and staking participation, the other in liquidity and stability. They are the first step in a much broader roadmap of cAssets, each designed to extend the reach and utility of native tokens across the Interchain Mesh.
