Pharos Network launches its Pacific Ocean mainnet, and at Stakely we are celebrating with an exclusive event

Pharos Network has just launched its Pacific Ocean mainnet, together with its native token, PROS. This launch marks a key milestone for the project, which aims to build blockchain infrastructure capable of connecting traditional finance with high-performance on-chain applications.

At Stakely, we are celebrating this milestone alongside Pharos Network in Madrid, at an exclusive event for the community, builders, partners, and Web3 professionals who have supported Pharos from the very beginning, to talk about infrastructure, RealFi, tokenized assets, and the future of finance.

In this article, we review what Pharos Network is, how its mainnet works, the role of PROS, and all the details of the Pharos x Stakely event in Madrid.

Pharos Network is an EVM-compatible layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world financial applications. Its approach focuses on RealFi, a concept that connects blockchain infrastructure with tangible financial use cases: tokenized assets, stablecoins, payments, credit, yield products, on-chain settlement, and institutional applications.

Its architecture combines modularity, parallel execution, dual VM, and compliance tools such as zk-KYC/AML, with the goal of providing infrastructure ready for open, fast, and regulated on-chain finance.

After its testnet phase, where it used the PHRS token and reported more than 4.3 billion transactions and 209 million unique wallets throughout 2025, the Pacific Ocean mainnet marks the arrival of Pharos Network to its main network and production environment, now with PROS as its native token.

On this network, users, developers, applications, and infrastructure can interact with real contracts, assets, and services within the Pharos ecosystem. In addition, its compatibility with Ethereum and the JSON-RPC interface makes it easier to use wallets, Solidity contracts, deployment tools, indexers, and infrastructure services already familiar across the EVM ecosystem. This reduces friction for developers, accelerates integrations, and simplifies operational work.

Technical details of the Pharos mainnet:

• Transactional throughput: 30,000 TPS.
• Execution capacity: 2 gigagas per second.
• Latency: block times under 1 second.
• Dual VM: EVM compatibility and WASM support.
• Consensus: AsyncBFT
• Speculative parallel execution
• Optimized storage: combines Delta-Encoded Multi-Version Merkle Tree and Log-Structured Versioned Page Store to reduce storage overhead and improve CPU and I/O efficiency.

Pharos defines itself as a Modular & Full-stack Parallel L1 Blockchain Network because its architecture does not concentrate everything into a single monolithic layer. Instead, it organizes the network into three levels: L1-Base, L1-Core, and L1-Extension.

This design is based on a clear idea: not all financial applications need the same infrastructure. A payment system may prioritize low latency and fast settlement. Meanwhile, a tokenized asset market may require access controls, auditing, and regulatory compliance. On the other hand, an institutional application that manages sensitive data may need more privacy or more specialized execution.

To address these needs, Pharos combines a common base network, EVM compatibility, and specialized extensions. This makes it possible to develop on-chain financial applications with infrastructure that is more flexible, adaptable, and ready for real-world use cases.

One of the most interesting components of Pharos is its Special Processing Networks (SPNs). These are application-specific networks that are closely integrated with the mainnet, but can operate independently with their own execution engine, validator set, restaking incentives, and governance rules.

This approach makes it possible to create environments tailored to specific needs without completely isolating liquidity or interoperability from the main ecosystem. Instead of forcing all applications to run under the same conditions, Pharos introduces an architecture where the most demanding use cases can have their own specialized environment.

For RealFi, this is especially relevant, as a network focused on real-world assets, payments, credit markets, or institutional applications needs flexibility. It is not enough to have a fast execution layer if every application then has to be forced into the same technical mold.

With the mainnet also comes PROS, the native token of Pharos Network, with a genesis supply of 1 billion tokens. PROS is designed to pay fees, cover on-chain execution costs, participate in staking, vote in governance, and drive incentives within the ecosystem.

During the first six months after launch, staking inflation will be 0%. From the seventh month onward, it will move to 5% annually, with the possibility of future adjustments depending on staking participation, the network’s security needs, and ecosystem growth.

This design seeks to balance two goals: limiting initial dilution during the launch phase and, in the future, creating a sustainable budget to incentivize validators, strengthen network security, and support ecosystem expansion.

One of the most relevant elements of the launch is the integration of USDC and CCTP. This combination brings stable liquidity from the start and reinforces Pharos’ role as infrastructure for RealFi.

USDC makes it possible to operate with a dollar-denominated asset widely used in DeFi, payments, and on-chain settlement. Meanwhile, CCTP facilitates the movement of USDC between blockchains through a native burn-and-mint system, reducing dependence on wrapped versions or traditional bridges.

Together, they provide an important foundation for lending, trading, payments, liquidity management, and tokenized asset markets within the Pharos ecosystem.

Pharos enables the development of on-chain financial applications connected to real-world assets, payments, compliance, and institutional infrastructure.

• Tokenized RWAs: private debt, bonds, commodities, energy, real estate, and on-chain financial instruments.
• Stablecoins: stable assets backed by real collateral and designed for payments, liquidity, and settlement.
• Instant payments: low-latency cross-border transfers and settlements.
• Institutional DeFi: lending, vaults, structured products, yield strategies, and financial markets.
• On-chain compliance: digital identity, zk-KYC, and programmable AML for regulated applications.
• SPNs: specialized environments for privacy, specific hardware, advanced computing, or custom execution rules.

To mark the launch of the Pacific Ocean mainnet, at Stakely we are co-organizing the Pharos Mainnet Celebration Party - Madrid Edition together with Pharos Network, a free event that will bring together developers, partners, Web3 professionals, validators, and active members of the blockchain community.

It will be an afternoon of networking, talks, and surprises, in a limited-capacity format designed to encourage quality conversations and valuable connections. Register as soon as possible to secure your spot!

• Location: Madrid Innovation Lab
• Date: May 4, 2026
• Time: 17:00 - 20:00 (UTC+2)

For Stakely, supporting launches like Pharos is part of our work as blockchain infrastructure operators. It allows us to closely follow how new networks evolve and what role they can play in the next stage of decentralized finance. Join us for this celebration!
