Recently, Hong Kong. Layer 1 infrastructure Pharos Network designed for RealFi officially announces the signing of a strategic cooperation agreement (MoU) with the trusted industry digital payment expert KUN. The two parties will deeply couple Pharos's institutional blockchain base with KUN's globally compliant licensed payment infrastructure, jointly promoting the tokenization of supply chain credit assets and achieving more efficient global settlement based on blockchain tracks.

Industry Background: Breaking the Liquidity Dilemma of Overseas Enterprises

Currently, small and medium-sized overseas enterprises, especially in emerging markets, face severe operational funding challenges. Limited by the cumbersome processes, high costs, and decentralized services of traditional trade finance systems, suppliers typically have to wait 30 to 90 days to receive payment after delivering goods, and this liquidity pressure restricts business expansion. Although RWA (Real World Assets) tokenization has become a hot topic in the industry, current market focus remains largely on passive financial products, with few projects effectively connecting underlying infrastructure with real business activities and licensed payment distribution networks.

Solution: Deep Integration of Licensed Payment Tracks and RealFi Infrastructure

The collaboration between Pharos Network and KUN aims to bridge this gap by bringing supply chain credit and B2B cross-border payments on-chain in a compliant and scalable manner. The initial strategic focus for both parties will cover:

• Tokenization of supply chain credit assets: releasing asset liquidity and optimizing enterprise cash turnover efficiency;
• Natively on-chain settlement of digital assets: using blockchain tracks to reduce cross-chain settlement friction;
• Enterprise-level virtual card solutions: exploring more flexible scenarios for corporate fund usage;
• Scenario-based on-chain financial services: providing compliant on-chain financial services for vertical scenarios such as bulk commodities, general trade, B2B cross-border e-commerce, service trade, Web3 ecosystems, and AI applications.

Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos Network, said: "KUN has built a trusted and globally licensed payment network, deeply serving emerging markets. Their expertise in cross-border digital payments perfectly aligns with Pharos's vision of creating an inclusive settlement layer for RealFi. We will work together in a compliant and accessible manner to bring supply chain assets and cross-border capital flows on-chain."

Dr. Louis Liu, founder and CEO of KUN, stated: "Settlement certainty is the last mile of RealFi. By bridging KUN's compliant payment track with Pharos's high-performance underlying architecture, we can assist enterprises in efficiently converting on-chain assets into the tangible liquidity required by the real economy, delivering institutional-level trust in the process. In the future, we will also explore using AI-driven orchestration to further optimize global business capital flows and enhance settlement efficiency in emerging markets."

Currently, the Pharos mainnet has officially launched, with over 50 active dApps within the ecosystem. This collaboration with KUN will further consolidate Pharos's industry position as a RealFi infrastructure by linking licensed payment systems with on-chain financial markets.
