Plume Network: Creating an RWAfi ecosystem tailored for encryption users

Real World Assets (RWA) are gradually becoming the focus of market attention as an important bridge connecting traditional finance and encryption. However, the current RWA market still faces many challenges: low efficiency, high costs, and insufficient smoothness in the connection between the traditional financial system and the on-chain ecosystem, with bottlenecks in further development urgently needing to be overcome.

To address these issues, a fully integrated and modular chain focused on RWAfi, Plume, has emerged. As the first truly public chain serving encryption native users, Plume is committed to providing more efficient, transparent, and convenient solutions by creating a dynamic, liquid, and composable market for RWA, redefining finance to be as versatile as native encryption assets.

Rapid development, asset scale surpassing one billion

After nearly a year of rapid development, Plume Network has been recognized by the community, institutions, emerging banks, and native encryption protocols as the best solution for RWAfi. Currently, over 180 projects have been built on Plume, with a total deployed asset exceeding $1 billion, and several hundred million assets are about to go on-chain. During the two-month testing activity, Plume also achieved significant results: the number of active wallets surpassed 3.75 million, and the on-chain transaction volume exceeded 270 million, fully demonstrating the vitality of the ecosystem and the enthusiasm of user participation.

In November, the pre-storage event held by Plume exceeded expectations. The initial target was 5 million dollars, but it was quickly filled in 70 seconds. In response to the huge demand from the community, Plume raised the cap to 30 million dollars, and ultimately exceeded the target within 90 minutes, with oversubscription reaching 6 times the original plan.

Plume's growth potential has also been recognized by several well-known investment institutions, having cumulatively completed $30 million in financing. In May of this year, Plume completed $10 million in seed round financing. On December 18, Plume announced the completion of $20 million in Series A financing, with participation from several well-known investment institutions.

A blockchain ecosystem designed for RWA, leveraging DeFi principles

Although there are many Layer 1 projects, Plume realizes the need to create a blockchain specifically designed for RWA due to the customized requirements of permission management, compliance, and liquidity of real-world assets during the on-chain process. This will be achieved by embedding more customizations and functionalities at the network level to realize the envisioned goals.

Unlike traditional RWA models, Plume aims to create a more efficient and accessible ecosystem for encryption users and traditional financial institutions by leveraging DeFi principles. RWAfi is a new model in the blockchain finance field, meaning that tokenized RWA can be composable and flexible like native encryption assets. Based on the concept of adopting encryption natively, Plume prioritizes composability, liquidity, permissionlessness, and interoperability from the perspective of building what encryption users truly need, and designs products and services around RWAfi.

Plume's modular infrastructure is designed to support the tokenization and management of real-world assets, with its core components being the tokenization engine Arc, the smart wallet, and the on-chain data highway Nexus. Through the collaborative work of these components, Plume provides a smooth and secure environment for managing multiple asset classes, ensuring compliance, and facilitating data integration.

In terms of core functionality, Plume focuses on accelerating the on-chain of real-world assets, liquidity, and regulatory compliance, providing a comprehensive framework that includes liquidity management, built-in anti-money laundering (AML) compliance, and data access features.

Focus on real returns, emphasizing service for encryption native users

As a unique domain at the intersection of blockchain technology and traditional assets, the immense potential of RWA stems from the traditional financial industry. However, mainstream users on the blockchain tend to be more inclined towards encryption-native users, rather than traditional financial users, making it difficult for most products to find a market fit.

Plume believes that to truly drive the growth of RWAs, it is essential to first focus on the needs of on-chain users. Its RWAfi concept is not only about bringing RWAs on-chain but also about creating products that are easy to understand and accept for users, by following what they are already doing when integrating the traditional and encryption native worlds.

As an open, permissionless chain, Plume provides an easy-to-use, compliant, and efficient tool for asset on-chain, allowing anyone to freely build and promote development without restrictions. Currently, Plume's asset categories can generally be divided into three types: collectibles, alternative assets, and financial instruments.

However, for the vast majority of encryption users, the category of the asset itself is not important; its use and potential returns are the key points. Therefore, based on the starting point of benefiting existing on-chain users, Plume will also focus its work on the three most important use cases for encryption users: yield farming, trading, and speculation.

Plume focuses on generating real returns through yield-generating assets and introducing real users through existing markets, expanding the use cases of the encryption ecosystem and RWAs. For example, Plume provides users with the opportunity to earn returns from a $100 million solar asset by collaborating with RWA projects in the renewable solar energy sector.

Looking to the future, Plume, which is about to officially launch its mainnet, will further enhance the scalability and security of its infrastructure on the existing foundation, and will further integrate to improve data privacy; in terms of ecological development and RWA expansion, more asset classes will be added, including tokenized luxury goods, stocks, and new forms of commodities; in addition, by expanding cooperation with financial institutions, Plume will make it easier for institutional investors to access tokenized RWA. This strategic positioning not only facilitates the connection between the encryption world and traditional finance but also positions Plume as an important bridge to promote the development of RWAfi.
