Pharos Network has launched the RealFi Alliance, a major ecosystem initiative aimed at creating standardized infrastructure for institutional participation in tokenized real-world assets (RWAs). The alliance brings together key players across the RWA stack to address fragmentation and coordination gaps that have limited large-scale institutional adoption.
The founding members include infrastructure and oracle provider Chainlink, tokenization platform Centrifuge, cross-chain interoperability protocol LayerZero, asset management platforms Asseto Finance and Ember, yield platforms Faroo and R25, risk management firm Re7 Labs, and wallet infrastructure provider TopNod. These participants collectively represent the essential layers required for functional RWA markets: price feeds, cross-chain connectivity, structured vault management, compliance frameworks, and tokenization.
The initiative is structured around four core components: asset enablement for programmability and lifecycle integration; infrastructure and compliance alignment for institutional security and regulatory parameters; liquidity and utility design to bridge issuance with active usage; and transparency and benchmarking to improve capital allocation clarity through standardized reporting.
Wish Wu, Co-Founder & CEO of Pharos Network, stated: "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. The RealFi Alliance is our commitment to building that environment, aligning leaders like Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, with specialized asset operators to ensure that real value moves onchain with institutional-grade reliability."
The Alliance will underpin the launch of Pharos Network's upcoming mainnet, entering the market with integrated liquidity partners and infrastructure providers already aligned. The long-term approach focuses on asset quality, technical readiness, and ecosystem compatibility, with future participants expected to be added in phases. This move reflects a broader industry trend toward operational readiness in tokenized finance, moving beyond pilot programs to production-scale infrastructure capable of facilitating institutional capital movement.
