Pharos Network launches RealFi Alliance to unify real-world asset markets

Pharos Network, a blockchain infrastructure project built by former Ant Group engineers, is launching the RealFi Alliance, a consortium aimed at creating unified standards for tokenized real-world assets (RWA), according to a Monday announcement.

The initiative brings together nine founding members, including Chainlink, LayerZero, Centrifuge, Asseto Finance, Ember, Faroo, R25, Re7 Labs, and TopNod.

The Alliance aims to address persistent obstacles in the tokenization sector, such as fragmented liquidity, inconsistent infrastructure, and regulatory silos that have hindered institutional adoption.

The group’s core mission is to transform the RWA market from a series of isolated pilot projects into a standardized, scalable, and institutionally ready execution framework.

“The core challenge facing onchain finance today is not a lack of assets, but the absence of a unified environment where those assets can function at scale,” said Wish Wu, co-founder and chief executive of Pharos Network.

Wu noted that the RealFi Alliance reflects the company’s commitment to that scalable, unified operating framework by bringing together major industry players like Chainlink and specialized asset operators to enable institutional-grade, reliable movement of real-world value onchain.

The Alliance implements a structured four-part strategy focusing on asset enablement, infrastructure and compliance, liquidity and utility, and transparency to support integrated risk management, staking, and yield.

Among the founding participants, Ember and Re7 Labs will collaborate on institutional risk management tools integrated directly into asset workflows. Chainlink will provide oracle services, while LayerZero contributes cross-chain messaging capabilities.

Pharos plans to launch its mainnet as a fully operational financial environment with built-in liquidity channels and regulatory compliance features. The alliance intends to admit additional members in phases, evaluating candidates on asset quality and technical preparedness.

The network combines modular design with parallel transaction processing and native compliance modules. Hack VC and Faction VC are among its financial backers.
