Plume Mainnet Launch Preview: A Comprehensive Guide to One-Stop RWA-Fi Ecosystem Interaction
Written by: Sanqing
Introduction
Real World Assets (RWA) are becoming a new growth engine in the crypto world. After experiencing preliminary tokenization attempts during the "RWA 1.0" era, the liquidity of on-chain assets and actual use cases have gradually become the focus of industry attention. The emergence of Plume Network is precisely to address this structural bottleneck.
As a full-stack Layer 1 blockchain designed for RWA-Fi, Plume not only brings real-world assets on-chain but also builds a new ecosystem "community-driven and asset-driven" through modular architecture, cross-chain yield streams, and DeFi composability.
This article will comprehensively analyze the vision of Plume, the scheduling of the mainnet phases, core infrastructure, interaction methods, incentive mechanisms, and airdrop strategies, helping users seize opportunities during the upcoming Genesis phase and systematically participate in this highly potential RWAfi network.
Ⅰ Understanding How Plume Network Builds the Future of RWA-Fi
1.1 Vision: Plume's "RWA 2.0" – Beyond Simple Tokenization
The vision of Plume Network goes beyond simply putting traditional assets on-chain. Its core concept "RWA 2.0" emphasizes enabling RWA to possess composability, interactivity, and deep integration on-chain, thereby integrating into the vast DeFi ecosystem. Plume is committed to blurring the boundaries between real-world assets and crypto-native assets, transforming everything into "tokens" to create entirely new financial primitives and use cases. This
The methodology aims to address the pain points of insufficient liquidity and limited application scenarios after assets are put on-chain in the "RWA 1.0" era. Early RWA projects often only tokenized assets, but these tokens lacked real utility on-chain. Plume recognizes that for RWA to truly thrive, it must be as flexible and usable as native crypto assets, supporting complex financial activities such as lending, derivatives trading, and yield farming.
Plume positions itself as "Robinhood 2.0" and "the people's blockchain," with a core strategy centered on community and buyer demand to attract institutional (seller) participation. By building a large and active retail user community, Plume aims to create an irresistible market for institutional asset issuers, which is a bottom-up adoption path for RWA that hopes to give ordinary investors access to asset classes that were previously hard to reach. Plume's goal is to make on-chain RWA feel more like crypto assets rather than a simple replication of traditional RWA.
1.2 Mainnet Launch: A Phased Journey from Alpha to Genesis
The mainnet launch of Plume Network adopts a phased approach to ensure the stability of the network and the maturity of the ecosystem.
Plume Alpha (Current Stage):
This phase is the foundational period before the public release of the mainnet, focusing on guiding core RWA partners, deploying initial liquidity, and testing core infrastructure in a controlled environment. The goal of Plume Alpha is to provide deep liquidity, thoroughly tested infrastructure, and a thriving dApp and experience ecosystem at the time of public release.
Currently, access to Plume Alpha is limited to selected partners for infrastructure build-up and early liquidity deployment, and regular retail users will not be able to use dApps or interact with the mainnet as a whole at this stage, nor will they accrue any incentives or rewards. This strategy aims to address the "cold start problem" common in new ecosystems by pre-populating the ecosystem with partners and capital to ensure that users experience a vibrant and functional environment when the Genesis phase opens to the public, thereby reducing the risk of becoming a "ghost chain".
Plume Genesis (to be launched within the week):
The Genesis phase will mark the full public opening of the Plume mainnet, at which point retail users will be able to seamlessly participate in the RWAfi ecosystem.
The mainnet launch is just around the corner, with Genesis starting this week. Users can expect the following core features: $PLUME token staking, RWA yield generation, high composability of RWA (such as looping, swapping, lending), access to unique tokenized assets (such as real estate, gold, stocks, etc.), cross-chain RWA yield streams enabled by Skylink, and a fully functional Plume Portal user portal.
Considering that the Plume Alpha phase does not offer retail incentives, users are advised to closely monitor the official Plume channels (such as the X platform account @plumenetwork and the official blog plume.org/blog) for the Genesis launch announcement, so they can effectively participate as soon as public access and the reward mechanism are launched.
1.3 Core Infrastructure: The backbone of the Plume RWA ecosystem
The vision of Plume's RWAfi is supported by a series of carefully designed technological components:
These components do not exist in isolation, but are interconnected and together form the cornerstone of Plume's "RWA 2.0" vision. For example, an RWA (such as real estate) tokenized through Arc may leverage Nexus to obtain real-time valuation data, and the revenue generated by it can be distributed to users' DeFi protocols on other chains through Skylink, forming a complete RWA value lifecycle. The development of the native stablecoin pUSD is critical to a thriving RWAfi ecosystem, which can reduce reliance on external stablecoins, provide new yield opportunities, and become a core trading pair for RWA transactions on Plume, critical for pricing, settlement, and staking.
Ⅱ Plume RWAfi Ecosystem Participation Guide
2.1 Plume Portal: Your RWA-Fi Central Hub
Plume Portal is a unified interface designed for users, aimed at simplifying interactions with the Plume ecosystem. This portal will serve as the hub for all users, whether they are early supporters or newcomers, providing the following features:
The development of the Plume Portal reflects the great importance that Plume places on user experience and is committed to lowering the barrier to entry for users to participate in RWAfi. RWAfi can involve multiple protocols and asset types, and its complexity speaks for itself. A unified portal that streamlines discovery, interaction, and reward tracking is critical to attracting a wider range of retail users, especially with the "auto-optimize yield" feature, which will greatly simplify the complexity of yield farming.
2.2 Bridge Assets to Plume: Power Up Your RWA Interactions
Bridging assets to the Plume network is a prerequisite for participating in its RWA ecosystem. Plume has adopted a multi-faceted bridging strategy to enhance accessibility:
Users should pay attention to the bridging interfaces officially released on Plume Portal after the launch of Plume Genesis, or look for integrated bridging functions in partner dApps like Royco Markets. This multi-bridge strategy provides users with flexibility and meets the needs of different asset types, aimed at creating a strong and diverse entry for capital inflow.
2.3 Unlocking earnings through Nest: Plume's flagship RWA vault
Nest is the core RWA vault product of Plume, allowing users to deposit stablecoins in exchange for interest-bearing RWA tokens (nTOKENs). The pre-deposits made before the mainnet launch at the end of last year have all been converted into nALPHA tokens of the protocol.
Its main features include accessing RWA in a cryptographic native way, and nTOKENs can be used as collateral in the RWAfi ecosystem (for circulation, lending, exchanges, etc.). All Nest vaults are underwritten and due-diligenced by Cicada Partners, with detailed scorecards published on the vault page, and have also passed audits from multiple auditing firms.
The Nest Treasury provides access to a diverse range of RWAs, including asset classes that are typically difficult to reach by retail users, such as private credit and institutional-grade fund-backed products. The composability of nTOKENs is their strength, which transforms otherwise passive interest-bearing assets into active capital that can be further leveraged in the Plume RWAfi ecosystem, such as for leveraged yield strategies or lending as RWA-backed collateral, which is highly consistent with Plume's "RWA 2.0" vision.
2.4 Royco Markets: Enhance RWA liquidity and active DeFi strategies
Plume plans to distribute 150 million $PLUME tokens (accounting for 1.5% of the total supply) in the Q2 incentive program. Royco Markets is Plume's primary incentive distribution partner, designed specifically for users who prefer proactive DeFi strategies, aimed at guiding the liquidity base needed for RWAfi applications.
Users can provide Plume native assets in Royco Markets, such as mainstream tokens (PLUME, wPLUME, pUSD, wETH, USDT, USDC), RWA treasury tokens (like nCREDIT, nALPHA, and other Nest tokens), as well as LP tokens. Depending on the risk conditions of different markets, participants can obtain an annual percentage yield (APY) ranging from 10% to 50% (the range is not completely accurate).
However, it should be noted that all deposits have a 90-day soft lock-up period, and only liquidity providers who fully participate in the entire cycle can receive rewards. Early withdrawal will result in the loss of incentive eligibility.
Royco Markets integrates multiple protocols and markets, including but not limited to:
The basic RWA yield-bearing tokens (nTOKENs) provided by Nest create a powerful synergy with the incentive environment offered by Royco Markets. After users deposit into Nest to obtain tokens like nALPHA, they can invest them into the Rooster Protocol within Royco to participate in liquidity provision, thereby earning trading fees and $PLUME incentives. This multi-layered earning potential is highly attractive. The 90-day soft lock-up period helps encourage long-term liquidity provision, allowing time for the maturity of the RWA protocol and the establishment of sustainable trading volumes, which is crucial for the long-term health of the Plume RWAfi ecosystem.
* Special Attention: RealtyX Launches Royco Markets
RealtyX is an innovative real estate RWA launchpad that tokenizes properties into tradable RWA tokens (RST####, each property has its unique number and SPDD) through its innovative SPDD architecture, enabling stablecoin yields and DeFi integration. RealtyX has confirmed that it will be built on the Plume network, and will simultaneously sell Plume-themed apartment tokenized properties with the launch of the Plume mainnet, and is the deep-in official partner of Plume since the Plume testnet.
RealtyX will also launch its tokenized real estate products or vaults on Royco Markets. This will allow users to access the returns and liquidity of tokenized real estate through Royco's incentive framework, and token holders can share rental income from unsold shares within the Royco sharing contract, which is an important practice of the "RWA 2.0" concept, aiming to make traditionally illiquid real estate assets more liquid and accessible through DeFi incentive mechanisms.
Ⅲ Airdrop Alchemy – Preparing for the Token Distribution of Plume
3.1 Experience Reference: Plume Season 1 Airdrop Review
The first season airdrop of Plume provided valuable references for subsequent activities. Its eligibility criteria covered testnet users (over 18 million wallet addresses and 280 million transactions), active Discord community members, and early deposit participants. This indicates that Plume values comprehensive contributions to the ecosystem, including technical testing, community building, and early funding support.
The claim mechanism is cleverly designed, with two options: immediate claim (100% quota and an additional 33% reward for participating in events after mainnet launch) and delayed claim (166% quota after mainnet launch). The significant reward for late claims (166% vs. 100%+33%) clearly incentivizes long-term holding and confidence in the project, rather than a short-term sell-off, and this pattern is likely to continue in the future. In addition, Plume partnered with Trusta Labs to use advanced analytics to identify and exclude Sybil attackers, ensuring the fairness of the airdrop.
3.2 Preparing for the Second Season Airdrop: Confirmed Activities and Strategic Deployment
Plume has officially confirmed that it will launch the second season of the $PLUME token airdrop event. With the mainnet approaching, the focus of the second season airdrop is of course the actual interaction with the mainnet RWAfi.
Confirmed core airdrop drivers: Royco Markets participation
Up to 150 million $PLUME tokens are incentivized, with a significant distribution through Royco Markets' incentive program.
Core Strategy: Provide Plume native assets (mainstream tokens, Nest tokens, LP tokens) to various protocols in Royco Markets (such as Nest, Optimizer, Rooster Protocol, etc.).
Key condition: Be sure to comply with the 90-day soft lock-up period to ensure you receive these generous $PLUME rewards.
Confirmed Core Airdrop Drivers: $PLUME Staking
Staking $PLUME tokens not only earns network security rewards but also unlocks exclusive benefits, including additional token airdrops when new applications are launched in future ecosystem projects.
Early stakers are expected to be in the most advantageous position to maximize their potential returns. Staking $PLUME is not only for earning rewards in $PLUME itself but is also positioned as a "golden key" to access airdrops from other projects within the Plume ecosystem, creating a strong incentive for long-term holding and staking of $PLUME.
Potential airdrop bonus / event (speculated based on first quarter experience and common practices):
Plume Goon NFTs: Minting these NFTs during the testnet provided benefits such as "extra mileage, multipliers, and re-investment opportunities." Although the blog post from the Plume Alpha phase did not give a clear answer regarding their future value, holding these NFTs may still provide some bonuses or early participation advantages in the second quarter or future events. Holders are advised to keep a close eye on official announcements.
Plume Portal Interaction: After the launch of Genesis, actively use the various functions of the Portal (such as exchange, bridge, yield optimization).
Core trading pair liquidity provision: Especially the trading pairs of pUSD and $PLUME with other mainstream tokens.
The trading volume and frequency of RWA interactions: Continuously and authentically using the RWAfi protocol.
Governance Participation: Once enabled, use the staked $PLUME to participate in voting.
Community Participation: Engage in active and constructive interactions on official X platform (@plumenetwork), Discord, and other channels.
Ⅳ Beyond Airdrops – The Long-Term Value and Participation of Plume
4.1 $PLUME token: utility, staking, and network security
$PLUME token is the core of the Plume Network ecosystem, and its value lies not only in airdrop expectations but also in its inherent multiple utilities:
Core Utility:
As the Gas fee token on the Plume network, used to pay transaction fees.
Participate in network security maintenance through staking and earn corresponding staking rewards.
Grants holders governance rights, allowing participation in voting for key decisions such as protocol upgrades and parameter adjustments.
Used for asset management within the ecosystem, such as operations in Plume Portal.
Staking mechanism:
Users delegate $PLUME tokens to validator nodes.
Earn rewards that can be automatically reinvested in real-time.
There is a 21-day cooling period for unstaking.
Staking directly contributes to network decentralization and RWA security.
Benefits of staking (in addition to $PLUME rewards):
Future ecosystem rewards: Opportunity to receive airdrops for new dApps built on Plume.
Early access to new features / services.
Exclusive participation rights in ecosystem activities.
Exclusive benefits for applications: For example, enjoy lower transaction fees or priority access in certain dApps.
Through staking and governance, the $PLUME token is designed as a productive asset rather than a purely speculative tool. The multi-tiered reward mechanism (direct staking rewards, ecological airdrops, application benefits) makes long-term holding and staking of $PLUME highly attractive to ecosystem participants, which in turn enhances network security and promotes user loyalty.
4.2 Future Outlook: Strategic Cooperation and Ecosystem Growth
Plume Network is actively expanding its ecosystem, partnering with a number of RWA projects and institutional partners, demonstrating strong growth momentum and long-term planning. Announced partners include PayPal (PYUSD), Goldfinch Prime (behind which Apollo, KKR and others have products), Superstate, Mocaverse, Mercado Bitcoin, Brazil's largest exchange, as well as Centrifuge, DigiFT, Matrixdock and others.
Plume pays special attention to introducing unique asset classes, such as tokenized car rental fleets in collaboration with Fractit, music IP, on-chain stocks backed by Backed, innovative blockchain real estate finance from RealtyX, AI agents in partnership with 0G Labs, and reinsurance products from Suranceplus. This extensive coverage of diversified RWA categories and DeFi primitives, combined with its professional L1 infrastructure, aims to create strong network effects and competitive barriers. The more diverse the ecosystem, and the more integrated DeFi protocols there are, the greater Plume's appeal to users and new projects, thus forming a self-reinforcing growth cycle. Collaborations with payment giants like PayPal and asset management firms like Apollo also bring significant credibility to Plume.
Conclusion
As the Genesis phase of the Plume Network mainnet is about to launch, a bottom-up "on-chain real asset revolution" is unfolding. Plume is not just the next new L1 project; it plays the role of a structural innovator in the RWAfi narrative—addressing cold start issues and creating a usable RWA ecosystem through tokenization engines, cross-chain yield streams, combined utilization of treasury assets, and guiding DeFi liquidity.
For ordinary users, this is not only an opportunity to participate in the early airdrop of a quality new public chain, but also the starting point to experience the paradigm shift in the next stage of DeFi development. Users are advised to closely follow Plume Portal and official social media platforms to grasp the interaction rhythm of the Genesis phase, and seize key aspects such as the Nest treasury, Royco Markets, and staking, to gain an advantage in this emerging ecosystem. The era of RWA 2.0 has arrived, and Plume may very well be the starting point for you to embark on this era.
