Staking $PLUME: Powering the Future of Real-World Assets

5 days ago

Plume Network is the modular EVM Layer-1 blockchain built to bring real-world assets (RWAs) on-chain in a compliant, scalable, and DeFi-native way. You can now tap into comodities, gold, silver and other assets!

Instead of simply porting traditional finance to crypto, Plume unlocks crypto-first use cases like yield farming, derivatives, and RWA-backed tokens that are fully composable across DeFi.

Its infrastructure includes Arc, a tokenization engine with built-in compliance, smart wallets that enable custody and yield on tokenized RWAs, and Nexus, a real-world data pipeline that keeps on-chain apps synced with off-chain information.

One of Plume’s standout features is SkyLink, a cross-chain RWA yield system deployed on over 16 chains, including Solana, Injective, and ApeChain, that streams institutional-grade RWA yields to users while preserving on-chain liquidity.

With over $1B in tokenized assets on testnet, 180+ projects building, and $30M+ in funding from top-tier backers like Haun Ventures and Galaxy, Plume is positioning itself as the RWA infrastructure layer for DeFi.

I played around with Plume Network’s testnet a while back, nothing too crazy, just some basic interactions to get a feel for the platform. Turns out that activity earned me 96,500 testnet points!

It looked a lot until I was able to convert into 200 official Plume Points in their early rewards program. I though it was a solid start, until I was diving deeper to see what else the ecosystem has to offer. That's what you can get in two daily spins!

The exploration definitely continues! From the assets I bridged over to Plume, I staked 100 $PLUME tokens as part of a level-up quest! Not a huge fan of RWAs but this worth a little dive. Getting eligible for the second airdop is a good incentive!

Staking $PLUME offers several key benefits that go beyond just earning yield—it’s about participating in the growth, security, and governance of Plume Network:

Earn Staking Rewards! By staking $PLUME, you receive a share of network rewards, which may come from transaction fees, protocol incentives, or ecosystem growth. It’s a passive way to grow your holdings while supporting the chain.
Strengthen Network Security! Staking helps secure the Plume blockchain by incentivizing honest validator behavior and discouraging malicious activity. The more tokens staked, the more secure the network.
Gain Governance Power! $PLUME stakers may receive governance rights, allowing them to vote on key protocol upgrades, incentive structures, RWA onboarding policies, or cross-chain integrations. This gives you a voice in shaping Plume’s future.
Early Ecosystem Access & Airdrops! Active stakers are often prioritized in airdrops, new feature rollouts, or early access to upcoming dApps and RWA token launches built on Plume.
Boosted Yield via SkyLink & RWAs!As Plume integrates real-world asset yields through SkyLink across 16+ chains, stakers may benefit from enhanced returns tied to tokenized RWA performance—making staking more dynamic than typical L1s.
