Foundation's Role in RealFi and Open Finance Ecosystem
The non-profit entity will steward the network’s RealFi and open finance ecosystem, bringing institutional-grade assets and real value to a wider audience. The Foundation’s launch marks a key milestone as Pharos gears up for its token generation event and Mainnet launch in early 2026, signaling a structured and transparent approach to long-term ecosystem growth.
Building a Trustworthy, Institution-Ready Ecosystem
The Pharos Foundation is designed as an Asia-led, compliance-ready, neutral governance organization. Its mission is to create a public-good infrastructure that operates with transparency and accountability. This approach reflects a broader global trend in decentralized finance, where investors and institutions increasingly demand high standards for transparency, regulatory awareness, and governance. According to a recent PwC report, over 70% of financial institutions are exploring blockchain solutions with strong compliance frameworks.

Pharos Foundation operates under clear limits. It does not provide investment advice, comment on token prices, or favor any single protocol. Instead, it prioritizes building a sustainable framework for governance, ensuring the ecosystem remains credible and reliable for long-term participants.
Transparency and Long-Term Accountability
Transparency is a cornerstone of the Foundation’s operations. Following the Mainnet launch, the organization will release its first transparency report detailing grant allocations, governance decisions, and fund deployment.
