Pharos Network, a Layer 1 blockchain designed to support real-world assets (RWAs) and decentralized finance (DeFi), has launched Native to Pharos, a $10 million incubator program aimed at early-stage teams building financial applications and infrastructure on its financial ecosystem.
The program will kick off in Hong Kong, with applications now open.
Focus on DeFi and Infrastructure
The incubator targets projects operating at the intersection of DeFi, blockchain infrastructure, and tokenized real-world assets.

Participants will receive technical mentorship, AI-driven developer tools, strategic guidance for product launch and scaling, fundraising support, and access to a network of investors and ecosystem partners.
The program is structured to provide long-term support, enabling teams to build sustainable businesses while contributing to Pharos’s on-chain financial ecosystem.
“Pharos is committed to building a thriving RealFi ecosystem and empowering builders who share our vision,” said Wish Wu, co-founder and CEO of Pharos.
“The Pharos Incubator is designed as a full-spectrum partnership, offering mentorship, technical resources, go-to-market support, fundraising guidance, and access to financial and legal expertise.”
Program Structure and Priorities
The incubator is backed by more than $10 million in funding and supported by partners including Hack VC, Draper Dragon, Lightspeed Faction, and Centrifuge.
For its inaugural cohort, Pharos is prioritizing projects that leverage its core architecture, including high-speed parallel processing and a modular, compliance-ready design for RWA.
Targeted applications include decentralized perpetual and spot exchanges, yield and vault infrastructure integrating tokenized RWAs, and prediction markets focused on real-world outcomes.
As part of its builder outreach, Pharos will participate in Hong Kong’s GWDC, the city’s first large-scale Web3 hackathon, in partnership with Web3Labs and Consensus.
The program is intended to attract teams developing high-performance financial applications that require low latency, composability, and scalable on-chain execution.
Pharos is backed by Hack VC, Faction VC, and other global traditional finance investors, and combines deep parallel execution with built-in compliance to support scalable, real-time on-chain finance.
Why This Matters
The incubator could accelerate the development of scalable, compliance-ready DeFi applications tied to real-world assets, potentially expanding institutional adoption of blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
