Plume Unlocks Institutional RWA Yield on Solana with New Nest Vault Launch
Institutional-grade real-world asset yield just landed on Solana. Plume's new Nest Vault cuts the traditional finance gatekeepers, delivering tokenized RWA returns directly to the chain.
The Infrastructure Play
This isn't just another DeFi pool. The vault acts as a structured entry point, bypassing the usual operational headaches of custody, legal structuring, and asset servicing. It packages yield from private credit, royalties, and other off-chain cash flows into a single, composable Solana token.
Why Solana Wins
Speed and low fees make the network a logical home for yield products that need to scale. Plume's move signals a maturation phase for RWA infrastructure—shifting from proof-of-concept to performance.
The Fine Print & The Future
Access remains permissioned for now, targeting qualified entities. The real test? Whether the promised yields hold up outside a bull market—because let's be honest, everything looks good when the tide's coming in. This launch could be the template that finally drags real yield out of spreadsheets and onto the blockchain.
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.”
