Pharos Network, a financial Layer 1 blockchain focused on real-world asset (RWA) finance, has significantly expanded its RealFi Alliance by introducing a new cohort of "Intelligence Partners." This group is dedicated to providing the data transparency, research coverage, and institutional-grade infrastructure required to bridge decentralized markets with traditional institutional capital.
The newly announced Intelligence Partners cohort includes prominent industry participants: data analytics platform Dune, research firms Four Pillars and Web3Caff Research, federally chartered crypto bank Anchorage Digital, Web3 developer platform Alchemy, and capital management firms Aquaflux and Yield Network. This initiative follows an earlier group of partners focused on core infrastructure and asset issuance, broadening the alliance's scope to encompass research, on-chain analytics, and institutional finance.
A central challenge addressed by this expansion is the "information gap" in decentralized finance. Institutional investors have been hesitant due to a lack of standardized data, independent analysis, and transparent reporting—cornerstones of traditional capital markets. Pharos aims to close this gap by integrating these analytics and research providers directly into its ecosystem.
"Institutional capital doesn’t just move for high yields. It moves for high-conviction data and verified intelligence," said Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos Network. He emphasized that the partnerships are designed to ensure assets on Pharos are backed by a level of scrutiny and transparency comparable to traditional markets.
A key deliverable of this partnership is the development of a standardized RealFi Research Framework. This framework will define how performance, risk, and compliance metrics are measured for tokenized RWAs within the Pharos ecosystem. The partners will collaborate on thematic reports, analytical models, and on-chain data standards to improve information communication to investors and create clearer investment benchmarks.
On the infrastructure side, Anchorage Digital will provide regulated custody and banking services, offering compliance safeguards for institutional participants. Alchemy will serve as the primary developer platform for building scalable applications. For capital management, Yield Network will act as the on-chain bookrunner for the RealFi Ecosystem Vault, while Aquaflux will focus on optimizing liquidity distribution and yield splitting.
