Pharos Network Adds Research and Data Firms to RealFi Alliance to Improve Institutional Transparency

Key takeaways

• Pharos Network has introduced a new “Intelligence Partners” cohort within its RealFi Alliance focused on research, analytics, and institutional infrastructure.
• The group includes Dune, Four Pillars, Web3Caff Research, Anchorage Digital, Alchemy, Aquaflux, and Yield Network, each contributing different capabilities to the ecosystem.
• The initiative aims to improve transparency and standardize research and data frameworks for real-world assets operating onchain.

Pharos expands RealFi Alliance with research and infrastructure partners

Pharos Network has expanded its RealFi Alliance with a new group of partners focused on research, analytics, and institutional infrastructure. The initiative introduces what the project calls “Intelligence Partners,” a cohort designed to strengthen transparency and data standards in decentralized finance ecosystems.

The partners include Dune, Four Pillars, Web3Caff Research, Anchorage Digital, Alchemy, Aquaflux, and Yield Network. According to the announcement, the group is intended to address information gaps that can make institutional participation in decentralized markets more challenging.

The RealFi Alliance previously focused on core infrastructure and asset issuance. This new cohort adds capabilities around research, data analytics, and financial infrastructure to support the broader ecosystem as it develops.

Within the framework, each partner contributes a different component. Research firms Four Pillars and Web3Caff Research will provide institutional market analysis and reports aimed at connecting traditional financial modeling with onchain activity. Meanwhile, Dune will supply real-time dashboards designed to track capital flows linked to tokenized real-world assets.

Infrastructure also plays a role in the initiative. Alchemy will provide developer infrastructure for building applications, while Anchorage Digital offers regulated custody and banking services. Aquaflux and Yield Network are responsible for managing liquidity and coordinating capital allocation within the ecosystem.

Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos, said the focus on verified data and research reflects what institutional investors typically look for when evaluating new markets.

“Institutional capital doesn’t just move for high yields. It moves for high-conviction data and verified intelligence,” Wu said, adding that the partnerships are intended to bring levels of transparency similar to those expected in traditional capital markets.

Toward standardized research for onchain assets

One of the central goals of the Intelligence Partners cohort is the development of a standardized “RealFi Research Framework.” Participating organizations will collaborate on reports and data standards that define how performance, risk, and compliance are evaluated for tokenized real-world assets.

These standards are expected to provide a consistent way for institutions and market participants to assess onchain assets. The framework also aims to create clearer reporting and analytics structures as the network approaches its mainnet launch.

Pharos positions itself as a financial Layer 1 designed for RealFi — a concept centered on bringing real-world value and institutional-grade assets onto blockchain infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with decentralized finance applications. The network combines modular architecture, parallel transaction processing, and built-in compliance mechanisms to support these use cases.

The bottom line

By adding research firms, analytics platforms, and institutional infrastructure providers to its RealFi Alliance, Pharos Network is attempting to build a more transparent environment for onchain financial markets. The initiative focuses on improving data availability, analytical rigor, and standardized reporting for tokenized real-world assets.

If the framework gains adoption, it could help create clearer benchmarks for evaluating onchain assets and potentially make decentralized financial ecosystems easier for institutional participants to analyze and navigate.
