HONG KONG, May 7, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Pharos Network , a high-performance blockchain built for real-world assets (RWAs), announced the launch of its Testnet today. Designed for institutional-grade RWAs and enterprise-scale DeFi, Pharos offers a next-generation, modular infrastructure that addresses the key bottlenecks preventing institutions from entering Web3. The platform powers scalable deployment of decentralized applications, enables efficient payment solutions, and unlocks new use cases for tokenized assets. The Pharos Testnet achieves up to 30,000 transactions per second with one-second finality, setting a new benchmark for Layer 1 blockchain performance. Its GPU-like architecture could support billions of users and reduce storage usage by 80%. The network also features built-in support for decentralized AI and privacy preserving SPN. With ZK-based KYC/AML capabilities, Pharos ensures enterprise-ready security and compliance. It remains fully EVM-compatible, offering faster and cheaper transactions, while enabling flexible, on-chain innovation. Pharos’s product stack directly addresses the core bottlenecks in RWA adoption—scalability, compliance, and flexibility—unlocking new use cases across sectors such as renewable energy industry finance, payment, supply chain finance, and tokenized real estate. Its modular, high-throughput infrastructure enables secure deployment of RWA at scale, while meeting the regulatory and performance demands of the financial industry. A growing ecosystem is already emerging on the Pharos Testnet, enabling innovative Defi use cases for RWAs. As an early collaborator of Pharos, OKX Wallet will support Pharos Testnet natively at launch. Early Pharos ecosystem projects include Zenith Swap, ELFi, Buzzing Club, Nextmate.AI, Faroswap, R2, OpenFi, Hemera, Blocksense, Supra, and more.

By providing a high-performance, scalable, and adaptable platform, Pharos meet the needs of bringing real world assets on a chain and bringing utilities to these assets.” said Alex Zhang, CEO of Pharos Network. “We’re excited to watch innovation flourish on Pharos and accelerate the convergence of traditional finance and decentralized technology.
