Pharos Establishes RealFi Alliance to Promote Institutional-Grade Standardization for On-Chain RWA Execution
- Core View: Pharos Network initiated the establishment of the RealFi Alliance, aiming to unite key industry participants. By building a unified, compliant financial infrastructure layer, it seeks to address core challenges currently faced by the RWA market, such as fragmented liquidity and inconsistent standards, thereby promoting the large-scale, composable on-chain operation of real-world assets (RWA).
- Key Elements:
- The alliance's initial members include well-known institutions such as Chainlink, Centrifuge, and LayerZero, covering critical areas like oracles, asset issuance, cross-chain, and risk management, providing ready-to-use foundations for ecosystem launch.
- The operational framework is based on four pillars: Asset Enablement, Infrastructure & Compliance Alignment, Liquidity & Utility Design, and Market Transparency, aiming to systematically address the entire process of RWA onboarding and utilization.
- It emphasizes treating RWA as an active financial infrastructure layer rather than static tokens, with the goal of supporting institutional-grade business processes. This relies on Pharos's parallel execution architecture and built-in compliance modules to meet high standards.
- The alliance will expand in a structured manner. Future members will be selected based on asset quality, technological maturity, and ecosystem synergy to ensure the underlying asset quality and utility remain leading.
- Pharos Network was built by a former Ant Group team and has received investment from institutions like Hack VC. It is positioned as a financial-grade Layer 1 public chain for RealFi, and its mainnet will launch with an environment featuring integrated liquidity and compliance standards.
Pharos Network, a financial-grade Layer 1 public chain, today announced the formation of the RealFi Alliance, a strategic ecosystem initiative aimed at uniting institutional-grade asset issuers, financial infrastructure providers, and on-chain builders. The alliance's goal is to propel the Real World Asset (RWA) market from isolated pilot phases towards a standardized, scalable, and executable operational framework. The founding members of the RealFi Alliance include: Chainlink, Asseto Finance, Ember, Faroo, LayerZero, R25, Re7 Labs, TopNod, and Centrifuge.
The RealFi Alliance aims to address systemic friction points such as fragmented liquidity, inconsistent infrastructure standards, and regulatory fragmentation by coordinating assets and capital under a unified framework. Rather than viewing RWAs as static tokens, the alliance sees RealFi as a foundational financial infrastructure layer, keeping assets active, composable on-chain, and ready to support institutional-grade business processes at any time. The founding members constitute the core foundation for RealFi on Pharos, ensuring that when the network goes to market, real-world partners are already building and deploying on it.
The alliance operates under a framework of four core pillars designed to ensure long-term network adoption and systemic robustness. At the heart of this initiative is Asset Enablement, focusing on bringing real-world value on-chain in a secure, composable form and optimizing its capacity for continuous participation. This foundation is further strengthened by rigorous infrastructure and compliance alignment, leveraging Pharos's deep parallel execution architecture and built-in compliance modules to meet the highest institutional security standards. To bridge the gap between asset issuance and practical utility, the alliance prioritizes liquidity and utility design, creating clear functional pathways for assets through mechanisms like staking, yield, and application integration. The collaboration between Ember and Re7 Labs exemplifies this vision—embedding institutional-grade risk management and vault curation capabilities directly into the asset lifecycle. Finally, by establishing market transparency and clear benchmarks for risk and return sources, the alliance builds the necessary trust foundation for sophisticated capital allocators to participate at scale within the ecosystem.
Wish Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Pharos Network, stated: "The core challenge facing on-chain finance today is not a lack of assets, but the absence of a unified environment where these assets can operate at scale. The RealFi Alliance is our commitment to building that environment. By aligning with industry-standard oracle platforms like Chainlink and specialized asset operators, we ensure real value can flow on-chain with institutional-grade reliability."
This strategic synergy ensures that the upcoming Pharos mainnet will launch as a 'ready-to-use' financial environment with integrated liquidity and compliance standards. Moving forward, the RealFi Alliance will expand in structured cohorts, with new members vetted based on asset quality, technical maturity, and ecosystem synergy. This long-term development path ensures that as the Pharos ecosystem matures, the quality and utility of its underlying assets remain industry-leading.
