- Linked Finance World builds interconnected DeFi tools with DEX aggregation, launchpads, and yield products for enhanced blockchain utility.
- XDC Network supports secure, scalable trade finance and real-world asset tokenization with its EVM-compatible DPoS blockchain.
- Plume enables rapid tokenization and DeFi integration of real-world assets through a full-stack, composable Layer-1 blockchain system.
As blockchain technology matures, new projects continue to refine decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) integration. Platforms such as Linked Finance World, XDC Network, Maker, Pendle, Reserve Rights, and Plume are building comprehensive infrastructures that support digital finance innovation, scalable ecosystems, and new use cases across various industries.
Linked Finance WorldL(FW): Building a Unified DeFi Ecosystem

The XDC Network has been created to satisfy requirements from trade finance operations combined with real-world assets tokenization needs. XDC Network uses DPoS as its consensus mechanism which delivers both secure transactions and parallel processing capabilities. The Layer-2 subnet system on XDC connects to EVM for running independent side chains which draw their security from the mainnet. The particular characteristics of XDC create an attractive option for government organizations alongside financial institutions that need personalized blockchain systems.
More than 300 validator candidates exist for masternode positions while 108 validators currently maintain service activities. The framework requires validators to stake 10 million XDC as an assurance for operational decentralization of the network while maintaining its integrity.

The XDC Network is designed to meet the needs of trade finance and the tokenization of real-world assets. It employs a Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) consensus mechanism that enhances transaction speed, security, and scalability. With EVM compatibility and a Layer-2 subnet system, XDC allows the creation of independent side chains that inherit the security of the mainnet. These features make XDC an appealing choice for entities requiring tailored blockchain environments, including government bodies and financial institutions.
More than 300 masternode candidates exist at present while currently 108 masternodes function as validators. Staking 10 million XDC forms a requirement for validators to demonstrate their commitment to upholding network integrity and decentralize operations.
Maker(MKR): Governance and Stability Through Decentralization

As the primary token of governance Maker (MKR) provides control systems for both MakerDAO and the Maker Protocol that operate through the Ethereum blockchain. Through its platform Maker enables DAI issuance together with stablecoin management since DAI tracks a dollar value. The members who hold MKR tokens take authority to decide governance changes that protect Maker Protocol security along with stability.
After its 2017 introduction Maker operated as a central component which established many fundamental aspects of DeFi and evolved into a strategic pillar of decentralized financial markets. MKR tokens derive their value from the level of success achieved for DAI stablecoin adoption on the market.
Pendle(PENDLE): Expanding Control in DeFi

Pendle is a DeFi protocol enabling the tokenization and trading of future yields. It introduces a unique Automated Market Maker (AMM) model that accounts for time decay, allowing users greater control over yield management. Through Pendle, users can explore various strategies to optimize their returns based on future yield projections.
The Reserve Rights (RSR) token operates within the Reserve Protocol, serving dual purposes of governance and collateralization. By staking RSR, users help overcollateralize Reserve’s stablecoins (RTokens) and participate in configuration governance. Launched in 2019 through a successful IEO on Huobi Prime, Reserve Rights has established itself as a flexible tool within stablecoin ecosystems.
Plume(PLUME): Full-Stack Solutions for Real-World Asset Tokenization

Plume Network positions itself as the first full-stack Layer-1 blockchain built specifically for RWA finance (RWAfi). Supporting over 180 projects, Plume combines a composable, EVM-compatible environment with a full tokenization engine. The network simplifies the onboarding and management of real-world assets into blockchain ecosystems by integrating financial infrastructure partnerships.
Plume aims to enable easy asset tokenization and DeFi integration, allowing real-world assets to become accessible to crypto-native users. Its infrastructure supports the seamless distribution and utilization of tokenized assets on a global scale.
