Plume Launches Ascend Accelerator for Early-Stage RWA Startups
Plume has announced the launch of Ascend, the first accelerator dedicated to supporting early-stage startups in the Real World Asset (RWA) sector. The initiative is backed by leading RWA institutions including Galaxy, Morpho Labs, OKX Ventures, Anchorage, Centrifuge, Keyrock, TACoalition, and RWA.xyz. Ascend offers comprehensive guidance in product architecture, tokenomics, investor relations, legal frameworks, market strategies, and community engagement.
Applications for Ascend are open until August 18, with selected RWA startups receiving nine weeks of free mentorship and training. Participants will also have the opportunity to secure up to $500,000 in funding during the final Demo Day. This launch follows Plume's successful mainnet debut in June, which has seen RWA holders reach 171,000 and a total value locked (TVL) of $170 million, positioning it as a leading platform for RWA projects.
