No problem, old friends. Today, let's change our perspective and discuss the Plume project, breaking it down in a way that is closer to the 'pain points' of us DeFi players, to understand its ambitions in the RWA track.
🎙️ Let's talk about our 'money bag': the concerns and desires of DeFi players.
Hello everyone, I am your old friend XXX (KOL persona). In this jungle of Web3, we have all experienced various storms. But has anyone else, like me, felt a deep sense of 'illusion' while staring at the charts late at night?
No matter how high our TVL (Total Value Locked) numbers are, or how fast our assets flow, it is essentially still spinning in a closed digital paradise. This paradise is cool, but it doesn't have real 'fuel,' no cash flow from the real world to keep it going.
Our concern is: market depth is insufficient, and once the wind blows, liquidity will dry up instantly.
Our desire is: our DeFi mechanism can truly touch and utilize the hundreds of trillions of dollars in the real economy.
RWA (Real World Assets) is the only exit. But until now, RWA projects have always given us the feeling: 'The theory is beautiful, but the operation is troublesome.' The asset is tokenized, yet it finds it difficult to move in DeFi, with no one daring to borrow or use it.
@Plume - RWA Chain 's emergence is to solve this **'gap between theory and practice.'**
💡 Creative entry: Stop calling it 'chain,' call it 'DeFi asset's safe and incubator.'
Unconventional title: DeFi's 'coming of age': How to activate trillion-dollar RWA asset liquidity with native infrastructure?
In the past, the biggest problems faced by RWA projects can be summarized into three points:
‘Identity crisis’: After RWA assets are on-chain, who will prove that they and their holders are compliant? DeFi does not recognize this.
‘Liquidity cold start’: After asset tokenization, where to place it? How to trade? There is a lack of a native DeFi ecosystem.
‘Fragmentation’: Finding one for tokenization, one for custody, one for compliance, and finally landing on an ordinary EVM chain. The efficiency is extremely low.
Plume's innovation lies in that it is a **'modular Layer1 customized for RWA assets.' It is not competing with Ethereum for general-purpose DApps, but providing a full-stack solution for a vertical field (RWAFi).**
Imagine if traditional DeFi is likened to a large supermarket, Plume is a boutique for RWA assets. In this store:
All products (RWA tokens) come with **'compliance certification labels'** (native KYC/AML).
All trading desks (DApps) are tailored for these products (RWAFi applications).
All the 'shelves and foundations' (Layer1 infrastructure) are designed for the security and stability of high-value physical assets.
This greatly lowers the **'psychological threshold and risk cost of using RWA assets'** for us DeFi users.
📊 Professional depth: How does Plume empower RWAFi with 'native thinking'?
(Professionalism - In-depth analysis and logical structure)
Plume's design core is one word: native. It directly writes the core functions required for successfully integrating RWA into DeFi into the foundational code of Layer1, rather than as an additional layer of L2 or DApp.
1. The 'native compliance module' at the technical bottom layer: breaking down institutional barriers.
Educational content: What is 'programmable compliance'?
In traditional DeFi chains, compliance (such as who can hold, who can trade) is managed through complex whitelist contracts or centralized entities.
Plume, as an EVM-compatible Layer1, has integrated compliance modules in its native infrastructure. This means:
Asset issuers can set that only addresses verified by specific KYC/AML can receive or trade their tokens.
This verification is **chain-level**, not application-level.
Significance: Greatly enhances institutional confidence in asset tokenization. A large fund wants to tokenize private equity; what they need is fundamental security assurance, not compliance promised by a DApp. Plume provides this fundamental assurance.
2. The 'one-stop integration' of market positioning: activating asset liquidity.
Plume is committed to integrating issuance, trading, compliance, and custody into a unified ecosystem.
Integrating traditional RWA project operations, Plume's native advantages in issuance and tokenization, seeking third-party issuance platforms, Layer1 provides a native toolkit to simplify processes, compliance management DApp layer/centralized entity management whitelist, Layer1 native smart contract-level programmable compliance, trading and application token listing on ordinary DEXs, insufficient liquidity, constructing a DeFi ecosystem dedicated to RWAFi, custody and insurance, complex multi-signature or centralized custody leaning towards providing or integrating institutional-level on-chain custody solutions.
Plume solves the **'liquidity dilemma'** after RWA assets are on-chain through this 'one-stop service.' Once the assets are tokenized, they can immediately enter a pre-configured compliant DeFi environment that is waiting to be utilized.
3. Innovative 'modularity': preparing for future asset classes.
Plume's modular architecture is not only for the scalability of L1 but also for the diversity of RWA assets. Different RWA assets (such as: artworks, carbon credits, private equity, real estate) have completely different requirements for data, valuation, liquidation logic, and regulatory requirements.
Modularity allows @plumenetwork to customize oracle modules, liquidation mechanism modules, and even regulatory reporting modules for specific asset classes.
This flexibility means Plume will not be limited to low-risk US Treasury RWA; it will have the capability to touch and manage more complex, higher-value assets that require customized rules.
🏷️ Personal insights and community discussion trigger points
(Relevance - Staying close to hotspots and foresight)
What are the current hot topics that we DeFi players care about the most? It’s the flow of institutional funds and the reconstruction of Web3's valuation logic.
Discussion trigger point: Plume is designing the most comfortable access channel for institutional funds. It is not about the issue of 'decentralization to the extreme,' but rather **'how to safely, compliantly, and efficiently let large funds in.'**
My thoughts:
I see Plume as the 'coming of age for DeFi.' It represents Web3 beginning to lower its stance, actively accommodating the complexities of the real world in exchange for trillion-level depth and breadth.
If Plume can succeed, we will see:
Risk warning (personal perception): Like all RWA projects, the challenges faced by Plume are enormous. It must find a perfect balance between innovation in on-chain technology and execution of off-chain law. Once issues arise with off-chain assets or custody, even the best on-chain mechanisms will be of no use. We need to continuously pay attention to how it handles off-chain legal entities, asset custody, and insurance mechanisms.
But its direction is correct. When Web3 truly wants to move towards the mainstream, it must embrace 'compliance' and 'real assets.' Plume offers what seems to be the most promising native infrastructure solution.
Looking forward to discussing with everyone in the comments: do you think Plume's 'native compliance' Layer1 can truly leverage the trillion-dollar assets of traditional finance?
