Lucas Vogelsang (born 1990) is a Swiss blockchain entrepreneur and software engineer, best known as an early advocate and pioneer in bringing real-world assets (RWAS) into decentralised finance (DeFi) as the co-founder and former CEO of Centrifuge, a DeFi protocol focused on bridging RWAS with blockchain-based financial infrastructure.[1][2]

Early Career

[edit]

Before entering the blockchain space, Vogelsang co-founded DeinDeal, a Swiss e-commerce platform and Groupon competitor, which was acquired in 2011. He later worked at Taulia, a San Francisco-based supply chain finance company, where he focused on payment infrastructure. Taulia was later acquired by SAP in 2022[3][4].[5][6]

Centrifuge

[edit]

In 2017, Vogelsang co-founded Centrifuge alongside Maex Ament and Martin Quensel, with the mission of "unlocking economic opportunity for all" by tokenizing real-world assets such as invoices, real estate, and revenue streams.[2][7][1] Through partnerships with protocols like MakerDAO and Aave, Centrifuge advanced the use of tokenized real-world assets as collateral in decentralized finance.[8][1][9]

Through Tinlake, Centrifuge's flagship product, Vogelsang helped create one of the first systems where businesses could finance invoices, real estate, and revenue streams directly through blockchain[10]networksCite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).
