Pharos Network Completes $44 Million Series A Funding, Total Funding Reaches $52 Million, Accelerating the Scalable Development of the On-Chain Economy
Pharos Network, a Layer 1 blockchain designed for institutional financial applications, has raised $44 million in Series A funding, bringing its total funding to $52 million. The round was co-led by undisclosed major institutions, including a top Asian private equity fund, a listed new energy company, and a licensed Hong Kong institution. Other strategic investors include Sumitomo Corporation (via a subsidiary), SNZ, Chainlink, and Flow Traders.
The funds will accelerate the development of its on-chain real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure in Asia and globally. Pharos aims to integrate $50 trillion in RWA, traditional finance (TradFi), and cross-chain capital into a modular on-chain economy. The network uses a deeply parallel execution architecture with built-in compliance modules tailored for real-time, asset-backed financial applications.
The company recently partnered with energy giant GCL to launch an RWA pilot project backed by energy assets. Its Atlantic Ocean testnet is already operational, supporting millions of users and hundreds of millions of addresses, demonstrating its capacity for high-frequency, high-value asset transfers in preparation for mainnet launch.
Pharos was co-founded by ex-Ant Group core management, including CEO Wish Wu, and previously raised an $8 million seed round in November 2024.
