Pharos Network, a financial-grade Layer 1 public chain, today announced the establishment 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 advance the real-world asset (RWA) market from isolated pilot phases to a standardized, scalable, and executable operational framework. The inaugural 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 issues such as liquidity fragmentation, inconsistent infrastructure standards, and regulatory disconnects by coordinating assets and capital under a unified framework. Rather than viewing real-world assets (RWA) as static tokens, the alliance sees RealFi as a foundational financial infrastructure layer that keeps assets active, composable on-chain, and capable of supporting institutional-grade business processes at any time. The inaugural members form the core foundation of RealFi on Pharos, ensuring that the network has real-world partners building and implementing on it from the moment it enters the market.
The alliance operates under a framework of four core pillars designed to ensure long-term adoption and systemic robustness. Central to this initiative is Asset Enablement, focusing on bringing real-world value on-chain in a secure and 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 use, 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 philosophy—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 foundation of trust for sophisticated capital allocators to participate at scale within the ecosystem.
Wish Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Pharos Network, stated: "The core challenge in today's on-chain finance 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 that 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 batches, with new members selected 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.
About Pharos Network
Pharos is an inclusive financial Layer 1 for RealFi, where real value and institutional-grade assets circulate on-chain and can be composably integrated with decentralized assets, serving as the next generation of financial-grade infrastructure for global finance. Pharos combines a modular architecture, deep parallel execution mechanism, and built-in compliance modules to power an asset-native ecosystem. The project is built by a team of management and engineering veterans from Ant Group and is backed by global investment firms such as Hack VC and Faction VC.
