Pharos adopts Chainlink CCIP as its cross-chain infrastructure and leverages Data Streams to empower the tokenized RWA market

Programmable open finance Layer-1 blockchain Pharos Network has announced that it will officially adopt Chainlink standards starting from its mainnet launch.

Pharos has selected Chainlink CCIP as its standardized cross-chain infrastructure to enable the industry's most secure and reliable cross-chain value transfer and message passing. In addition, Pharos has adopted Chainlink Data Streams technology to support the creation of high-performance RWA markets and deliver ultra-fast, more accurate price data. Backed by Chainlink’s core tokenization infrastructure, enterprise-grade tokenized RWA on the Pharos ecosystem is expected to scale further.

Founded by leaders from the former Ant Blockchain and Ant Financial blockchain teams, Pharos holds a unique advantage in delivering enterprise-grade solutions for institutions exploring green finance, digital payments, and new forms of programmable ownership and asset tokenization. Pharos will bring institutional-grade RWAs to individual investors at scale, further driving RWA adoption and bringing new users into DeFi.

To better empower the market and connect multi-chain ecosystems, Pharos requires highly accurate, low-latency on-chain market data and secure infrastructure for transferring information and value across different blockchain ecosystems—making Chainlink Data Streams and Chainlink CCIP critical components of the Pharos infrastructure.

Adopting Chainlink Data Streams to power tokenized RWA markets brings the following benefits to the Pharos ecosystem:

• Sub-second price latency: Leverage battle-tested oracle infrastructure to deliver high-performance trading experiences with sub-second data transmission, offering superior user experience without compromising core values of decentralization and transparency.
• High data accuracy: Data Streams provide reliable, low-latency, high-precision pricing data benchmarked against leading exchanges, enhancing user confidence and improving protocol performance.
• End-to-end customization: Chainlink Data Streams support flexible configuration through custom channel reporting, allowing teams to tailor market data reporting structures to specific protocol needs.
• Front-running and exploit protection: Low-latency updates combined with a "commit-and-reveal" architecture mitigate front-running risks via sub-second data delivery, protecting transaction privacy prior to execution.

Selecting CCIP as the official cross-chain infrastructure also brings key advantages to Pharos:

• Defense-in-depth security: CCIP’s consensus layer is powered by Chainlink’s decentralized oracle networks (DONs). Multiple DONs validate every CCIP transfer, each secured by a set of high-quality oracle node operators.
• Secure cross-chain token transfers: CCIP simplifies cross-chain token transfers via the Cross-Chain Token (CCT) standard, enabling both new and existing tokens to gain cross-chain capabilities within minutes, without vendor lock-in for token issuers.
• Future-proof network effects: CCIP powers an expanding interconnected blockchain network and supports permissionless access for new tokens.

On the deep collaboration with Chainlink, Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer at Chainlink Labs, said:

Pharos’ adoption of Chainlink CCIP as its cross-chain infrastructure and Chainlink Data Streams for low-latency market data marks a significant step toward secure, high-performance, cross-chain applications. By embracing Chainlink’s interoperability standards, Pharos enables builders to launch institutional-scale tokenized real-world asset applications powered by Chainlink’s infrastructure, which has already secured hundreds of trillions of dollars in on-chain transaction value.

Wish Wu, CEO and Co-Founder of Pharos, said:

Chainlink standards are critical tokenization infrastructure for Pharos. By adopting CCIP as our cross-chain standard and Data Streams for low-latency price data, we are empowering builders and institutions to launch tokenized asset solutions from day one that meet enterprise-grade performance and security requirements.

About Chainlink

Chainlink is the industry-standard oracle platform designed to bring capital markets on-chain and power the majority of decentralized finance (DeFi). The Chainlink technology stack provides critical standards in data, interoperability, compliance, and privacy, supporting advanced blockchain use cases such as institutional-grade tokenized assets, lending, payments, and stablecoins. Since launching its decentralized oracle network, Chainlink has enabled hundreds of trillions of dollars in transaction value and now secures the majority of DeFi.

Many of the world’s top financial services institutions have adopted Chainlink’s standards and infrastructure, including Swift, Euroclear, Mastercard, Fidelity International, UBS, ANZ, and leading protocols such as Aave, GMX, and Lido. Chainlink features a novel fee model: on-chain and off-chain revenue generated from enterprise adoption is converted into LINK tokens and deposited into the strategic Chainlink Reserve.
