Pharos

What is Pharos (PROS)?

Pharos is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built around real-world assets (RWA), tokenized finance and payments. Its project documentation describes a modular design with parallel execution, a pipelined architecture and a Byzantine fault tolerant consensus layer, aimed at high throughput and sub-second finality. PROS is the network's native token.

The project describes a genesis coin mint in December 2025 at a private mainnet launch, and its public Pacific Mainnet is live under chain ID 1672. Because Pharos is EVM-compatible, developers can reuse Solidity contracts and common Ethereum wallets and tooling.

Pharos positions itself for tokenization, payments and financial workflows where speed and low fees matter. The project cites a partnership with Ant Digital Technologies and describes an RWA pipeline, though the value of those relationships depends on real issuance on the network.

What PROS is used for

The Pharos tokenomics framework lists several roles for PROS:

• Gas: PROS pays transaction fees and the cost of onchain execution, and it is required in a wallet before sending transactions or deploying contracts.
• Staking and security: validators and delegators stake PROS to secure the proof-of-stake network.
• Governance: holders can take part in decisions on upgrades and parameters.
• Ecosystem incentives: grants and liquidity programs.

The documentation also describes links to external restaking protocols, including Babylon and EigenLayer, as part of the network's shared-security design.

PROS supply and token design

The genesis supply of PROS is 1,000,000,000 coins. Core team and private investor allocations follow a 12-month cliff and then 36 months of linear vesting, while some treasury and incentive allocations vest over 48 to 60 months. Some community and network allocations were available at or around launch.

Staking issuance is set at 0% for the first six months after launch and then at 5% annually, though the Foundation may adjust the rate later. The project says fees may be partially burned, but this is described as a possibility rather than fixed policy. Live circulating supply is shown in the market data on this page.

What to check before using PROS

• Vesting unlocks for team, investor and treasury allocations release tokens gradually, and the circulating supply will change as they do.
• Staking issuance is scheduled to rise from 0% to 5% a year, which adds dilution for holders who do not stake.
• The network is young, and its RWA focus depends on institutions choosing to issue assets on it.
• Only use the official domains linked from the project's documentation when buying gas tokens or bridging, and never share a seed phrase.
• Throughput and finality figures on project pages are design targets, not guarantees of real-world performance.
