I have been watching Pharos recently and think it is worth organizing. This project is very different from the general public chain route. ===What is Pharos? === Pharos is a Layer1 public chain designed specifically for financial scenarios, with the goal of bringing institutional level assets and real value onto the chain, creating a compliant and high-speed on chain economic network. The founding team comes from the core layer of Ant Group (Wish Wu, Alex Zhang, etc.), with strong Fintech genes. Technologically, we have developed a modular architecture, deep parallel execution, and sub second level finality, supporting scenarios such as RWA, stablecoins, cross-border payments, DeFi, and more. ===Financing background=== This investment portfolio is very different from regular public chains: 2024/11 seed round of $8 million (Hack VC, Lightspeed Faction, SNZ, etc.) Strategic cooperation of 19.45 million US dollars on January 2026, valued at over 1 billion US dollars, with strategic investment from GCL New Energy, a Hong Kong listed company On April 8, 2026, Series A of $44 million was jointly led by Asian PE, new energy listed companies, and Hong Kong compliant financial institutions, with participation from Sumitomo Corporation subsidiaries, SNZ, Flow Traders, and others The only major institution disclosed in the PR is Sumitomo, a Japanese conglomerate that has not publicly invested in Web3 projects before but has supported Ethereum and Avalanche. At this scale, there are also large Web2 companies behind blind guessing. Will Pharos become the next 'Japanese chain' after ADA, given its popularity in the Japanese market? Worth observing. The cumulative financing may already exceed hundreds of millions, and the project party places more emphasis on the long-term value contribution of capital in financing strategy, especially in the RWA track, where traditional chaebols and large enterprises can indeed provide more resources. ===OKX Pre Storage Activity=== The main website is about to launch (Pacific Ocean Era), and this pre stored activity is equivalent to the "official admission ticket" before the main website goes online: In the ETH stage, the APY is as high as 16%, and in the mainnet stage, it is also 14%, which is very competitive in the current market environment TGE airdrops can be claimed on the same day without any lock up - this is very important, as many projects can be airdropped with lock up for several months, and Pharos directly provides liquidity ETH stage 4/13-4/20, mainnet stage locked until 7/20, clear time window ===Innovation points of RWA Vault=== The money pre deposited this time is not used for high-risk DeFi strategies such as staking and lending, but directly for buying RWA assets. Traditional DeFi Vault relies on arbitrage and leverage between on chain protocols, which can easily lead to market fluctuations and problems; RWA Vault's funds directly correspond to real-world returns, with much less volatility. The underlying assets are managed by Centrifuge (ranked among the top 9 in RWA TVL, with assets under management exceeding $517 million) and Anemoy Capital (Web3 native asset management supported by Janus Henderson), with transparent and compliant assets. Last night, the Chinese AMA project team also publicly clarified the details of trust enhancement and mechanism security for the underlying assets. It can be considered as a relatively innovative gameplay in the market, transferring real-world profits onto the chain instead of idling within DeFi.
