Pharos, a programmable Layer 1 blockchain network, has announced the integration of Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) and Data Streams as core infrastructure components following its mainnet launch. The partnership is designed to provide the network with secure cross-chain connectivity and real-time market data to support the growth of tokenized real-world asset (RWA) markets.
The integration positions Chainlink’s CCIP as the canonical cross-chain standard for Pharos, enabling the secure transfer of value and messages across multiple blockchain ecosystems. Chainlink’s Data Streams will also deliver low-latency, high-accuracy pricing data to support high-performance decentralized finance (DeFi) applications built on the Pharos network.
Cross-Chain Infrastructure and Secure Data Delivery
Pharos said it selected Chainlink’s technology to enhance the reliability and performance of its ecosystem. CCIP provides a security architecture based on Chainlink’s decentralized oracle networks, which use multiple independent node operators to validate cross-chain transfers. The protocol also incorporates the Cross-Chain Token standard, allowing tokens to become interoperable across different blockchains without vendor restrictions.
Meanwhile, Chainlink Data Streams offer sub-second price latency and customizable data structures that can be adapted to different market environments. The system uses a “commit-and-reveal” mechanism designed to protect against frontrunning and exploitation by ensuring transaction privacy prior to execution. According to Pharos, the integration of these tools will enable its ecosystem to handle enterprise-level trading activity with improved accuracy and speed while maintaining decentralization and transparency.
Focus on Institutional Tokenization and Green Finance
Founded by former executives from AntChain and Ant Financial, Pharos aims to build blockchain infrastructure focused on institutional-grade applications such as green finance, digital payments, and programmable asset ownership. By integrating Chainlink infrastructure, Pharos plans to bridge traditional financial institutions and decentralized markets through tokenized assets that meet enterprise performance and security standards. Pharos said the adoption of Chainlink tools will help bring real-world assets onto the blockchain, making them more accessible to individual investors while expanding participation in decentralized finance markets.
Chainlink Labs Chief Business Officer Johann Eid said Pharos’ integration of CCIP and Data Streams represents “a major step forward in powering secure, high-performance cross-chain applications,” noting that Chainlink’s interoperability standard has already supported trillions of dollars in on-chain transaction value. Wish Wu, Pharos’ co-founder and CEO, added that the integration will allow builders and institutions to “launch tokenized asset solutions that meet enterprise requirements from day one.”
