Pharos Network Joins Morpho to Launch Native Lending Infrastructure for Real-World Assets
Hong Kong, Hong Kong, August 7th, 2025, Chainwire
Lending and borrowing on Pharos will soon be powered by Morpho, the most trusted lending network with $9B+ in total deposits.
Pharos Network, a leading Layer 1 blockchain focused on RWAfi, is joining efforts with Morpho, the most trusted lending network with $9B+ in total deposits. The collaboration will bring a native version of Morpho’s lending infrastructure to the Pharos mainnet. This alliance marks a foundational step toward building institutional-grade lending rails within the on-chain real-world asset (RWA) ecosystem.
Morpho’s deployment on Pharos will bring capital-efficient lending with isolated risks to RWA vaults, unlocking flexible credit markets for asset originators and liquidity providers. The integration anchors Morpho as the official lending infrastructure provider for Pharos and strengthens the broader RWAfi strategy alongside players like Ant Digital, R25, and Gauntlet.
The collaboration provides both DeFi-native and institutional participants with transparent, modular tools for lending and credit risk modeling.
“For us, working together with Morpho is about building trust and composability at the core of RWAfi,” said Wish Wu, CTO and Co-Founder at Pharos. “By integrating Morpho’s lending infrastructure directly into our mainnet, we’re laying the foundation for a more transparent and capital-efficient on-chain credit ecosystem. It enables us to support complex, institution-grade lending strategies while preserving the modularity and openness that define DeFi.”
“Deploying natively on Pharos allows us to keep extending Morpho’s most trusted lending infrastructure to the real-world asset space following initial success like private credit and tokenized stocks,” said Kirk Hutchison, New Chains Growth at Morpho. “Pharos’ vision for RWAfi aligns with our commitment to transparent and scalable credit systems. Together, we are creating a powerful infrastructure for structured lending products, better risk pricing, and more accessible yield opportunities across both institutional and retail markets.”
Morpho’s protocol will power Pharos’ upcoming vault launches and capital deployment frameworks. The first deployments will focus on institutional vault designs, enhanced by Pharos’ presence across credit modeling, liquidity routing, and custody.
The native integration was designed to support composability with Pharos’ existing infrastructure and to enable robust experimentation around RWA yield structures, onboarding strategies, and capital matching algorithms.
