Kun KUN and Pharos Network have reached a strategic partnership to jointly promote RealFi, RWA, and cross-border payment infrastructure innovation

Recently, Hong Kong. The Layer 1 infrastructure Pharos Network built for RealFi and the trusted industry digital payment expert Kun KUN announced the official signing of a strategic cooperation agreement (MoU). The two parties will deeply couple Pharos's institutional-grade blockchain foundation with KUN KUN's global compliant licensed payment infrastructure, jointly promoting the tokenization of supply chain credit assets, and achieving more efficient global settlement based on blockchain tracks.

Industry background: Solving the liquidity dilemma for outbound enterprises

Currently, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and outbound companies worldwide, especially in emerging markets, face severe operational capital challenges. Limited by the cumbersome processes, high costs, and dispersed services of traditional trade finance systems, suppliers usually have to wait 30 to 90 days after delivering goods to receive payment. This liquidity pressure restricts business expansion. Although RWA (Real World Asset) tokenization has become an industry hotspot, most market focus remains on passive financial products, with few projects effectively connecting underlying infrastructure with real commercial activities and licensed payment distribution networks.

Solution: Deep integration of licensed payment tracks and RealFi infrastructure

The cooperation between Pharos Network and KUN KUN aims to bridge this gap by bringing supply chain credit and B2B cross-border payments on-chain in a compliant and scalable manner. The initial strategic focus of both parties will include:

Tokenization of supply chain credit assets: Unlock asset liquidity, optimize enterprise cash flow efficiency;

Native on-chain settlement of digital assets: Use blockchain tracks to reduce cross-chain settlement friction;

Enterprise-level virtual card solutions: Explore more flexible enterprise fund usage scenarios;

Scenario-based on-chain financial services: Provide compliant on-chain financial services for vertical scenarios such as bulk commodities, general trade, B2B cross-border e-commerce, service trade, Web3 ecosystems, and AI applications.

Wish Wu, Co-founder and CEO of Pharos Network, stated: “KUN KUN has built a trusted and globally licensed payment network, deeply serving emerging markets. Their expertise in cross-border digital payments aligns perfectly with Pharos's vision of creating an inclusive RealFi settlement layer. We will work together to bring supply chain assets and cross-border capital flows onto the chain in a compliant and accessible manner.”

Dr. Louis Liu, Founder and CEO of KUN KUN, said: “Settlement certainty is the last mile of RealFi. By bridging KUN KUN’s compliant payment track with Pharos’s high-performance underlying architecture, we can help enterprises efficiently convert on-chain assets into tangible liquidity needed by the real economy, delivering institutional-level trustworthiness in the process. In the future, we will also explore AI-driven intelligent orchestration to further optimize global business cash flows and improve settlement efficiency in emerging markets.”

Currently, the Pharos mainnet has officially launched, with over 50 dApps actively operating within the ecosystem. This partnership with KUN KUN will further solidify Pharos’s position as an industry-leading RealFi infrastructure by linking licensed payment systems with on-chain financial markets.
