The first layer is the Centrifuge peer-to-peer network for private, secure data exchange.
The second layer is where the smart contracts deployed on Ethereum that represent business identities, document hashes and most importantly the “Business NFTs” to represent documents live, and in a form which makes them financeable via MakerDAO, Compound, or others.

Summary
This is a platform which allows you to convert assets your stocks, bonds, treasury notes and real estate to non-fungible tokens, which are digital representations of unique items, either singularly as in one token or as a large group of tokens, representing fractional ownership, as in 1000 people contributing 1000 dollars apiece to own a million dollar piece of art and each has an equal share of the art and its appreciation, while the owner gets the cash. Then using these tokens as collateral for loans you can access part of your equity without selling the asset and maintaining 100% control or through selling the tokens and providing fractional ownership and selling just part of the asset, and this allows you to keep the majority of the tokens to maintain control over the asset. This platform and others like it have made theory real. And the movement towards this blockchain based finance continues.
