Three Plume native assets you need to know before Plume Genesis goes live: PLUME, pUSD, and pETH. These are the core assets powering payments, yield, and composability across the Plume RWAfi ecosystem - and they’ll be front and center at launch 🧵

Today, we're excited to unveil the first step of our mainnet journey: Plume Alpha. 🪶 We've always said that onchain RWAs shouldn't feel like classic RWAs -they should feel like crypto. On Plume, you'll be able to stake, swap, lend, borrow, and speculate with RWAs as seamlessly as with native crypto assets. This week, we'll begin onboarding deep liquidity, robust infrastructure, and a thriving ecosystem of dApps and partners. Once our ecosystem foundation is secure with proven applications, deep liquidity, and a performant network, we'll advance to Phase 2 – Plume Genesis. This is just the start of us building the future of RWAfi together.

Season 1 Claim of Plume's Airdrop has officially paused as of April 30th at 5PM UTC. Thank you to all of our Goons that participated in this first chapter! Mainnet will introduce additional mechanisms to earn rewards and participate in the Plume ecosystem. Deferral bonuses are no longer available. For anyone who has not yet claimed, you will be able to claim on Plume mainnet at a future date. We're thrilled about this transition as we approach our upcoming mainnet launch. The road to mainnet continues - stay tuned for what's next 🪶

bringing a wealth of knowledge from the SEC, Uniswap, Chainalysis, IHS Markit, and the CFTC, @banamlas is joining the family as our General Goon and i am beyond ecstatic it takes deep industry experience to truly understand the nuances of defi, tradfi, policy and legal. when i first met @banamlas, i was beyond impressed at his ability to weave together his knowledge for what we envisioned as the future of RWAfi at @plumenetwork we're truly pioneering a world where RWAs meet crypto, and with this challenge comes the need for a GC (or General Goon) who is defi-native, well versed in tradfi, while also possessing all the legal knowledge to tackle RWAfi head on from every angle glad to have you onboard @banamlas and looking forward to carving the future of RWAfi together

We are thrilled to welcome Salman Banaei, former Senior Special Counsel, U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, to the Plume team as our new General Counsel. @banamlas brings an extensive experience of over 15 years from the private and public sectors, including service at the SEC, Uniswap Labs, and the CFTC, where he was a key driver in implementing Dodd-Frank derivatives market reforms after the Global Financial Crisis. Salman will oversee legal, policy, and compliance strategy as Plume continues to expand its offerings designed to bring RWAs and the real world onchain. As an American-founded team, with this appointment, we're pioneering a regulatory vision for RWAs and creating compliant pathways that make tokenized assets accessible across both US and global markets. Salman's leadership will be instrumental as we expand our 180+ partner ecosystem and demonstrate how technology can serve policy goals - lowering costs, increasing transparency, and unlocking new capital formation opportunities previously unavailable in traditional markets.

A new chapter for institutional RWAfi is here. We're excited to share that funds managed by leading global alternative asset manager @apolloglobal have made a strategic investment in Plume. This investment will help accelerate our mission to become the category-defining leader for RWA infrastructure. As the first full-stack RWA chain, we're building the EVM-compatible environment to make RWAs as seamless, flexible, and composable as any crypto-native asset. Our unique infrastructure is designed to create net-new utility for these assets, making them truly useful within a DeFi-native environment. We're excited to continue transforming the RWA space and drive adoption of RWAfi.

i've had the pleasure of working closely with @cmoyall over the last year and have been super impressed by the team at @apolloglobal and how they view the future of RWAfi similarly to us, they believe that the future of RWAs thrives in a realm where static assets become dynamic through DeFi, unlocking new liquidity opportunities. couldn't be more excited to continue pushing the boundaries of RWAfi on @plumenetwork with one of the largest institutional players in the crypto space today RWA szn has truly commenced
