Guardians of Plume, the RWAfi chain has achieved its goal of over 60M transactions, and Season 2 is coming to an end.

With the next airdrop on the horizon, we’re here to explore the Plume Network and the potential it holds for the upcoming RWA narrative!

What is the Plume Network?

Plume is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain which was founded in 2023 and launched its mainnet in 2025. The network focuses on merging Real-World Assets with decentralized finance to enable anyone and everyone to access trading, lending, borrowing and yield generation.

RWAs such as real estate, art, collectables, and commodities are all tokenizable on Plume and can function with DeFi protocols. This is all powered by Arc, their tokenization engine that handles the regulatory measures and more.

Why Plume Network?

Becoming the leading chain for RWAs will require compatibility across the biggest and best networks, both Layer 1s and Layer 2s. That’s why Plume utilizes the notorious interoperability protocol, LayerZero and its SyncPools to enable cross-chain engagement for tokenized assets and RWA yield distribution.

As it stands, the Plume network has built up a powerful RWAfi ecosystem with over 200 partners, which include Ondo Finance, Chainlink, Curve Finance, and many other big names you would recognize.

That takes us to the Plume Portal, the gateway and all-in-one hub for RWAs and DeFi.

Plume Portal

Within this Portal, users can swap, stake, earn yield, and even go further by earning ‘Plume Points’, exclusive badges, raffle prizes, and so much more. Some dApps in the ecosystem provide users with not only yield, but also Plume Points for supporting the network.

Plume Points

Plume Points are essentially a method of tracking a user’s activity on the Plume network, where they are then calculated at the end of each season, and converted into $PLUME token rewards, via airdrop! Users have earned generous amounts of tokens from Plume airdrops, and there are more on the way.

In a recent video on the AltCryptoTalk YouTube channel, we provide a beginner’s guide on how to get started on the Plume network and qualify for future airdrops.

If that’s for you, you can get started here.

Plume Airdrops

Season 2 of the Plume airdrop is coming to an end very soon, so to either potentially catch the last eligibility requirements or get prepared for Season 3, you may want to get started on that tutorial now, and head over to the Plume Portal to begin.

With a fast-growing network achieving 61M+ transactions across 441K+ wallets, over $5B of assets in its pipeline and a growing $338.5M  TVL, each Plume airdrop could grow increasingly bigger in value, and therefore create a fantastic opportunity for the ecosystem of users and protocols.

Plume Token ($PLUME)

$PLUME, the native token, was first airdropped at the beginning of 2025 and is the main utility token used to pay for gas fees, as well as staking to secure the network, governance and many DeFi-related utilities. Could it become a leading RWA token of the future?

Conclusion

At the time of writing, the $PLUME token is trading at $0.096 with a market cap of $192.1M. In March 2025, the $PLUME token peaked at an ATH of $0.2475, and as we emerge into a bull market, altcoin season and a highly likely RWA narrative, we’re keeping our eyes out for a potential new ATH for the $PLUME token!
