Key Highlights
- Plume launches five RWA Nest vaults to bring institutional-grade yield to the Solana ecosystem.
- The vaults offer native access to assets like treasuries and credit from major institutional issuers.
- This initiative introduces real-world yield as a sustainable base layer for Solana’s DeFi growth.
Plume, an RWA-focused blockchain, announced the launch of five RWA Nest vaults natively on Solana, enabled through integrations with institutional asset issuers.
The rollout, announced today, gives Solana users access to institutional-grade yields of treasuries and on-chain credits. The deployment aims to establish real-world yield as a core layer for DeFi on the Solana network, which speaks to a key step in Plume’s stated strategy for multichain expansion.
The initial five vaults: nBASIS, nOPAL, nWISDOM, nALPHA, and nTBILL, offer native access to various institutional-grade assets such as short-term receivables, on-chain credit, and U.S. treasuries. These assets are managed by established financial entities and tokenization issuers such as Hamilton Lane, WisdomTree, BlackOpal, Securitize, and SuperState.
Solana users can participate by depositing stablecoins into the Nest vaults. In return, they get a Nest vault token, which is a liquid, yield-bearing asset built to accrue value over time. They are designed to move across the Solana DeFi landscape and enable its use within lending protocols, DEX liquidity pools, structured products, and the ability to redeem at any time.
Plume’s RWA market position
Plume has quickly become a leader within the RWA market. Since the mainnet launched in June 2025, it has come to be regarded as one of the top RWA ecosystems, gaining upwards of $600 million in Total Value Locked (TVL), along with over 200 projects building on top of it.
The Nest protocol is the flagship staking platform from Plume, built to enable permissionless access to institutional-grade yields that have historically been reserved for high-net-worth investors. This move onto Solana represents further efforts to foster omnichain access to RWAs, following other attempts such as the provision of its SkyLink omnichain distribution protocol on various chains.
Teddy Pornprinya, Co-Founder and CBO at Plume, said, “Crypto is moving past the era of synthetic yield and into a market grounded in real economics. Stablecoins brought millions into crypto, but yieldcoins will keep them here. This integration with Solana is the next step in building a transparent, programmable financial system at scale.”
Pornprinya added, “Plume already anchors over half of the industry’s RWA activity, and Solana has become one of the most efficient, high-throughput environments in crypto, making it a natural home for onchain credit, treasuries, and short-term receivables. Bringing our strengths together is how we unlock the next phase of onchain finance.”
Expanding Solana’s DeFi capabilities
This integration with Solana is the next step in building a transparent, programmable financial system at scale. Plume also plans to integrate its RWA yield pipelines throughout the Squads ecosystem, including dedicated vaults for Altitude users and streamlined RWA yield access for developers using Grid.
Moreover, it is expected that, through Loopscale, Solana users will be provided with lending markets to allow for leveraged RWA looping: a mechanism that allows deposited assets to be reused as collateral within multiple borrowing and redepositing cycles.
Plume Nest Points Program (PNP)
Plume has also introduced the Plume Nest Points Program (PNP), a reward mechanism designed to compensate users for holding and using Nest vault tokens in DeFi applications.
Nick Ducoff, Head of Institutional Growth at the Solana Foundation, said, “Solana’s ability to support institutional-grade finance at global scale is reflected in real-world assets on the network quickly nearing $1B. Plume’s launch on Solana accelerates a future where real-world yield is a native, ubiquitous part of the Solana experience.”
