The Plume team is developing an EVM-compatible blockchain focused on the tokenization of real-world assets (Real World Assets, RWA). According to the project, 180 protocols with assets worth $4 billion have been launched on the Plume devnet.

“We have long observed a huge demand for RWA, but the appropriate infrastructure for their tokenization has not existed until now. Only stablecoins have managed to become a universal product. Our platform allows any issuer to easily place assets on-chain. Plume will integrate them into an ecosystem with a vast community, sufficient liquidity, and a network of financial partners.

The eight-week Plume testnet attracted 3.7 million active users, who created 18 million wallets and sent 280 million transactions, while a recent pre-deposit campaign raised $30 million in 90 minutes,” commented the project’s founder and CEO, Chris Yin.

In addition to the modular blockchain, Plume’s products include the tokenization engine Plume Arc and the real-world asset data provider Plume Nexus. The launch of the project’s mainnet is scheduled for early 2025.
