30,000 TPS. Sub-second finality. Real-world assets on-chain.
Pharos is the open financial layer where institutions, builders, and everyday people actually coexist — not someday. Now.
Most blockchains promise to change finance. Pharos is built by the people who already ran finance at scale — former leadership from Ant Group and Alibaba. They know exactly where traditional finance breaks. So they built around it.
The result: a modular EVM Layer-1 for real-world assets (RWA), institutional DeFi, cross-chain liquidity, stablecoins, and AI-agent payments — all compliant, all fast, all in one place.
Read the Litepaper ↗Pharos gets fast by being smart about how it processes everything. Here's the real tech behind the numbers — no buzzword fluff.
Instead of processing transactions one-by-one like a tired cashier, Pharos uses speculative parallel execution — multiple transactions run simultaneously. Multi-stage pipelining optimizes CPU and I/O efficiency at the same time.
Traditional blockchains bloat over time. Pharos uses a Delta-Encoded Multi-Version Merkle Tree + Log-Structured Versioned Page Store for 80% less storage overhead. Your node doesn't need a hard drive the size of a country.
App-specific sub-networks that plug into Pharos mainnet. Each SPN gets its own execution engine, validators, and governance — purpose-built for AI, IoT, privacy, DeFi, or whatever the use case demands.
Write in Solidity like you always have. Or use WASM for zero-knowledge proofs, homomorphic encryption, and Web2-native languages. Both VMs run natively. No bridging, no workarounds, no "we'll ship that later."
ZK-KYC lets users prove their identity on-chain without exposing private data. Programmable AML is built into the protocol layer — so institutions can participate without fighting regulators every step of the way.
Built by Pharos Research — x402 hijacks the rarely-used HTTP 402 status code to let AI agents pay each other instantly and gaslessly at millisecond speed. Machine-to-machine payments, zero human involvement needed.
Not a roadmap promise. Features that exist on testnet today — and more at mainnet.
Transactions confirm in under a second. No waiting around for confirmations like it's 2019. Users notice when things feel instant — and they stay.
Bonds, commodities, real estate, invoices — brought on-chain. Pharos is incubating a $1.5B RWA exchange pipeline. This is not toy money or test tokens.
Native cross-SPN and cross-chain communication enables atomic execution across VMs and networks. Liquidity flows where it's needed, automatically, without bridges breaking.
Compliance is protocol-level, not an add-on. Verify identity without exposing private data. Privacy first, regulator-ready second — both at once.
Pharos Research's x402 protocol bridges Web2 APIs and Web3 settlement for AI agents to transact in milliseconds. The machine economy needs rails. Here they are.
Your existing Ethereum contracts work without changing a single line. Pharos speaks Solidity fluently. Migrate in hours. Deploy in minutes.
"RealFi" isn't a slogan. It's Pharos's entire reason for existing — build a financial layer where institutional capital and everyday people operate in the same open, programmable network. Not in separate silos.
Cross-border settlements and micropayments with sub-second confirmation. Send value across the world faster than your bank's login screen loads.
Energy projects, real estate, commodities — tokenized and tradeable on-chain. Transparent global markets for assets that were locked behind mountains of paperwork.
Through its partnership with Morpho, Pharos supports institutional-grade lending and borrowing markets for RWAs. Wall Street meets DeFi, and neither has to compromise.
Issue stablecoins backed by verified real-world collateral. On-chain, transparent, and built with programmable AML so the regulatory conversation becomes a lot shorter.
Whether you write Solidity for a living or you just own a wallet, Pharos was designed with you in mind.
Full EVM compatibility — your existing Ethereum code works out of the box. WASM support opens the door to Rust, Go, and beyond. SPNs let you spin up your own specialized chain. Testnet is live right now.
