According to the official announcement, the Nest project in the Plume Network ecosystem recently launched the second phase of the pre-staking activity, which is the first RWAfi pool targeting retail investors. Due to the strong market demand, the staking pool reached the staking limit in less than 20 minutes, with a total staking amount of $10 million. To meet the market demand, NEST will reopen the staking pool and welcome all users to participate.
This staking pool will support users to earn points by depositing funds on the mainnet before its launch, and the points will be converted into Plume rewards. Users can deposit USDC or USDT through the Ethereum network to participate in the pre-staking, and the participants will receive rewards when the Plume Network mainnet is launched.
It is reported that after the Nest mainnet is launched, the deposited funds will earn real yield in the Nest staking pool. This pre-staking activity will be held from December 19 to December 23, and the funding cap of the staking pool is $10 million. Additionally, even if the staking pool is full, all users who have completed the pre-registration through Deform will still be reserved a spot.
Previous news reported that Plume, the first fully modular integrated Layer-1 blockchain focused on real-world asset finance (RWAfi), announced the completion of a $20 million Series A funding round today. This round of financing was jointly invested by Brevan Howard Digital, Haun Ventures, Galaxy Ventures, and Lightspeed Faction, with participation from well-known institutions such as Superscrypt, Hashkey, Laser Digital (Nomura Group), A Capital, 280 Capital, SV Angel, and Reciprocal Ventures. This financing demonstrates the high recognition of the crypto industry and traditional financial investors for Plume's vision of building an on-chain RWAfi ecosystem.
