# Plume > The public blockchain for scaling RWAs. Plume is an EVM-compatible L1 blockchain facilitating tokenization and DeFi integration of real-world assets through compliance infrastructure and institutional partnerships. Plume is a public, EVM-compatible blockchain built for real‑world assets. It integrates asset tokenization and compliance into the chain and provides tools for using tokenized assets across DeFi (stake, swap, lend, borrow). Its mission is to bridge traditional finance and crypto through demand‑driven adoption while maintaining transparency and openness. - Type: Network - Sector: Blockchain Platforms - Status: Active - Founded: 2023-10-01 - Profile: https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume ## Products - [Plume Chain](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume Chain is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain engineered for real-world asset tokenization and DeFi integration. The protocol provides modular infrastructure supporting automated compliance screening at the sequencer level, native cross-chain messaging via LayerZero integration, and composable tokenized asset deployment through standardized ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 vault architectures for institutional RWA strategies. (L1, Live, Main Product) - [Plume Explorer](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume Explorer is the official block explorer for viewing transactions, addresses, blocks, and contracts on Plume Mainnet and Testnet. (Block Explorer, Live) - [Plume USD (pUSD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume USD is the canonical stablecoin of Plume used across apps for payments, trading, and as collateral; mintable and redeemable 1:1 against fiat-backed stables. (Stablecoin Issuer, Live) - [Arc](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Arc is an open-source tokenization engine providing modular infrastructure for RWA onboarding and compliance automation. The system integrates KYC verification through Parallel Markets and zkME, AML monitoring capabilities, smart account custody via ZeroDev integration, and automated yield distribution linking offchain banking streams to tokenized asset positions through configurable compliance modules. (Developer Tooling, Open Beta) - [Nexus](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Nexus is an oracle infrastructure system delivering real-world data to blockchain networks through validated data feeds. The protocol integrates offchain information including interest rates, asset reserve attestations, and compliance lists onchain using data-priority transaction sequencing and multi-oracle verification mechanisms to support RWA valuation, prediction markets, and automated vault management for tokenized assets. (Oracle, Live) - [Plume Passport](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume Passport is a smart account wallet infrastructure providing embedded custody and compliance features for RWA interaction. The system abstracts account management through ERC-4337 implementation, enabling users to execute staking, collateralization, and DeFi protocol integration for tokenized real-world assets while maintaining regulatory compliance through integrated AML screening and identity verification mechanisms. (Wallet, Live) - [Plume ETH (pETH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume ETH is a native ETH liquid staking token on Plume that stakes ETH on Ethereum, bridges the LST, and streams staking rewards to the user’s wallet for use across Plume DeFi. (Liquid Staking, Live) - [Dinero](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Dinero provides liquid staking through a two-token system enabling users to stake ETH, SOL, and BTC while maintaining liquidity. The protocol issues liquid staking tokens (pxETH, pxSOL, pxBTC) and corresponding auto-compounding vault tokens (apxETH, apxSOL) that aggregate staking rewards across all deposited assets. The system integrates EigenCloud restaking for additional yield and maintains institutional-grade compliance standards for accredited investors. (Liquid Staking, Live) - [Nest](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Nest is an RWA staking protocol enabling permissionless vault deployment for institutional-grade yield strategies. The system implements ERC-4626 and ERC-7540 standards for tokenized vault positions, providing automated yield distribution from private credit, U.S. Treasuries, and tokenized ETF products sourced from regulated issuers including Blackstone, Apollo, and Invesco through non-custodial smart contract architecture. (Staking Service, Live) - [Skylink](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Skylink is a cross-chain messaging protocol enabling RWA yield distribution across blockchain networks. The system leverages LayerZero OFT standards to mirror vault token states and stream institutional asset yields to external chains, facilitating capital deployment from networks including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and TRON while maintaining unified liquidity pools and transparent settlement mechanisms. (Cross-chain Infrastructure, Live) - [Plume Portal](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): Plume Portal is a unified dashboard interface for RWA ecosystem interaction and position management. The application provides asset discovery functionality, yield optimization tools, cross-protocol reward tracking, and gamified engagement mechanisms including quest systems, leaderboards, and points programs to facilitate user participation across DeFi applications deployed on Plume infrastructure. (Developer Tooling, Live) ## Assets - [Plume USD (pUSD)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): pUSD is a USD-pegged stablecoin backed 1:1 by USDC within a BoringVault on Plume Chain. It is used for payments, trading, and as collateral across RWA applications, with users able to mint and redeem at a 1:1 ratio without protocol fees. The token wraps USDC with transparent, on-chain backing, allowing holders to access real-world asset yield opportunities while maintaining stable liquidity for transactions within the Plume ecosystem. (Stablecoin) - [Plume (PLUME)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): PLUME is the native token of Plume Network, an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built for real-world asset tokenization. It is used to pay transaction fees, participate in governance, and earn staking rewards on the network. By serving as the primary settlement and incentive layer, PLUME ties together the ecosystem of tokenized assets, enabling holders to participate in the same DeFi activities — lending, borrowing, and swapping — that the network makes available for real-world assets. (Native) - [Plume ETH (pETH)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): pETH is a liquid staking token representing staked ETH on Plume Network. It is used to earn staking rewards automatically distributed to holders' wallets, and as collateral across DeFi applications on Plume. When users mint pETH, their ETH is automatically staked on Ethereum Mainnet and the liquid staking token is bridged to Plume in a single transaction, enabling holders to participate in Plume's RWA-focused DeFi ecosystem while maintaining exposure to Ethereum staking yields. (Liquid Staking Tokens (LSTs)) - [Wrapped PLUME (WPLUME)](https://thegrid.id/profiles/plume): WPLUME is the wrapped version of PLUME, the native token of Plume Chain. It is used to enable compatibility with DeFi protocols, allowing the token to be traded on decentralized exchanges, used as collateral in lending markets, and deposited into liquidity pools. The wrapped format converts the native gas token into an ERC-20 standard token, enabling it to interact with smart contracts that require standardized token interfaces.
