Pharos Network Joins Morpho to Launch Native Lending Infrastructure for Real-World Assets
Pharos Network, a leading Layer 1 blockchain focused on RWAfi, is joining efforts with Morpho, the most trusted lending network with $9B+ in total deposits. The collaboration will bring a native version of Morpho's lending infrastructure to the Pharos mainnet. This alliance marks a foundational step toward building institutional-grade lending rails within the on-chain real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem.
Morpho's deployment on Pharos will bring capital-efficient lending with isolated risks to RWA vaults, unlocking flexible credit markets for asset originators and liquidity providers. The integration anchors Morpho as the official lending infrastructure provider for Pharos and strengthens the broader RWAfi strategy alongside players like Ant Digital, R25, and Gauntlet.
The collaboration provides both DeFi-native and institutional participants with transparent, modular tools for lending and credit risk modeling.
'For us, working together with Morpho is about building trust and composability at the core of RWAfi,' said Wish Wu, CTO and Co-Founder at Pharos. 'By integrating Morpho's lending infrastructure directly into our mainnet, we're laying the foundation for a more transparent and capital-efficient on-chain credit ecosystem. It enables us to support complex, institution-grade lending strategies while preserving the modularity and openness that define DeFi.'
'Deploying natively on Pharos allows us to keep extending Morpho's most trusted lending infrastructure to the real-world asset space following initial success like private credit and tokenized stocks,' said Kirk Hutchison, New Chains Growth at Morpho. 'Pharos' vision for RWAfi aligns with our commitment to transparent and scalable credit systems. Together, we are creating a powerful infrastructure for structured lending products, better risk pricing, and more accessible yield opportunities across both institutional and retail markets.'
Morpho's protocol will power Pharos' upcoming vault launches and capital deployment frameworks. The first deployments will focus on institutional vault designs, enhanced by Pharos' presence across credit modeling, liquidity routing, and custody.
The native integration was designed to support composability with Pharos' existing infrastructure and to enable robust experimentation around RWA yield structures, onboarding strategies, and capital matching algorithms.
Pharos Network is designed to unify Web2 and Web3 assets and liquidity. Founded by the former leadership of AntChain, led by Alex Zhang (ex-CTO of Ant's blockchain group, ex-CEO of ZAN), the team includes pioneers from Ant Financial, Microsoft Research, and Stanford, with deep backgrounds in blockchain infra, formal verification, and ZK systems. The team built the infrastructure for Alipay and Asia's largest BaaS platform.
Morpho is the most trusted onchain lending network with $9B+ in deposits. Businesses can connect to Morpho's open infrastructure to power any lending or borrowing use case at scale, including embedded crypto-backed loans and custom yield solutions.

Chronicle Named Exclusive Oracle Partner to Grove, Enabling a New Era of Onchain Credit Allocation
ZUG, Switzerland--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Chronicle, the oracle infrastructure powering secure, scalable financial data onchain, has been named the Exclusive Oracle Partner to Grove Protocol, an institutional-grade credit protocol developed by members of Steakhouse Financial. The Next Chapter of Onchain Credit Grove is a new star in the Sky ecosystem and recently announced a $1B commitment to a tokenized asset strategy including initial allocations to the Janus Henderson Anemoy AAA CLO Fund (JAAA) and the JTRSY Treasury Fund (JTRSY), both issued natively through Centrifuge. As Grove prepares to launch a new generation of tokenized yield strategies backed by real-world assets (RWAs), Chronicle will provide the oracle infrastructure required to safely and transparently scale credit allocation across the ecosystem they serve. 'Partnering with Chronicle as our exclusive oracle provider gives us the infrastructure we need to execute Grove's vision transparently and at scale. Reliable, verifiable data is essential to expanding onchain credit markets, and we're thrilled to be partnering with the leading RWA oracle to take onchain transparency to new heights.' — Mark Phillips, Co-founder of Grove Labs Chronicle's designation as Grove's exclusive Oracle Partner ensures that credit flowing from the Grove Liquidity Layer, through the Grove ecosystem—whether to RWA issuers, DeFi protocols, or structured vaults— can rely on Chronicle for powering the oracle infrastructure. This offers not just security, but strategic alignment for those looking to tap into Grove's growing capital network. 'Chronicle was created to ensure the onchain economy can scale with integrity and transparency. Being selected as Grove's exclusive oracle partner underscores our role as the bedrock powering data for institutional-grade strategies. Together, we're building the infrastructure that will allow billions in credit allocations to flow into DeFi safely.' — Niklas Kunkel, CEO of Chronicle Grove and Chronicle together deliver the credit, transparency, and scalable infrastructure needed to support next generation investment strategies connecting tokenized real-world assets with onchain markets through transparent real time data and credit rails. Grove's initial focus is on launching the Grove Liquidity Layer, an allocation system inspired by the Spark Liquidity Layer, designed to direct capital toward both onchain and offchain credit opportunities. Much like Spark, Grove's Liquidity Layer incorporates a surplus buffer (or first-loss capital) mechanism, which expands the investable universe by absorbing early risk and enhancing capital efficiency. This positions Grove to pursue a wide range of opportunities at the intersection of DeFi, stablecoins, and traditional finance, while providing a flexible foundation for future ecosystem growth. Through its strategic partnership with Grove, Chronicle is deepening its role as the oracle backbone for the next wave of tokenized real-world assets. Earlier this year, Chronicle was announced as the oracle provider for SparkDAO's $1 billion Tokenization Grand Prix. The winning funds included BlackRock and Securitize's BUIDL fund, Superstate's tokenized U.S. Treasury fund (USTB), and Centrifuge's short-duration U.S. Treasury fund (JTRSY). In this role, Chronicle was selected to provide the underlying oracle infrastructure for each of these funds, delivering secure, verifiable onchain data. Looking Ahead The launch of Grove marks the beginning of a new era in decentralized credit, one where tokenized real-world assets flow seamlessly into the onchain economy at scale. By designating Chronicle as its exclusive oracle partner, Grove ensures its credit allocation strategy rests on the most verifiable, transparent, and battle-tested oracle infrastructure available. This partnership is more than a technical integration, it's the connective foundation between institutional-grade credit products and the open, programmable markets of DeFi. Together, Grove and Chronicle are creating the rails for a financial system that is not only more transparent but also more accessible, resilient, and aligned with institutional standards. Chronicle's role as Grove's exclusive oracle partner ensures this vision to deliver the credit, transparency, and scalable infrastructure becomes a reality. Just as Grove is building the credit rails to bridge DeFi and traditional finance, Chronicle is providing the verifiable data infrastructure that makes those rails secure, transparent, and scalable. Together, Chronicle and Grove are creating a new cycle of capital formation, one where institutional-grade credit products are no longer reserved for the few, but accessible to billions through the onchain economy. For protocols, asset issuers, and chains, the message is clear: to access Grove's capital network, Chronicle is the oracle of choice. About Chronicle Chronicle is the oracle network built for secure, verifiable data in DeFi and real-world asset markets. As the first oracle to launch on Ethereum, Chronicle has evolved into a high-performance network securing over $7 billion in value. With transparent validator sets, cryptographic proofs, and fully auditable data models, Chronicle delivers on-chain data you can inspect, trust, and scale with. Institutions and protocols rely on Chronicle to power mission-critical feeds with end-to-end transparency and institutional-grade reliability. About Grove Grove is an institutional-grade credit infrastructure DeFi protocol designed to serve as the liquidity engine of Decentralized Finance. Incubated by Grove Labs as a Star within the decentralized Sky Ecosystem governance framework, Grove enables protocols, crypto-native organizations, and individual users to access institutional-grade yield.
