Redesigning Access to RWAs: A New Look for a New Era of Provenance Blockchain

Today marks a significant milestone in our journey as we usher in a new chapter for Provenance Blockchain, and introduce a new and refreshing visual identity.

This is more than a makeover. It’s a renewed commitment to building the infrastructure for a radically different financial world where financial access, yield, and liquidity flow as freely as information.

For everyone, not just the few.

A Foundation of Proven Success

When we built Provenance, our goal was to launch the best L1 blockchain for financial services. We wanted to introduce disruptive, blockchain-fueled innovation to an increasingly outdated and exclusionary financial system. To that extent, we were incredibly successful.

Just take a look at what we’ve achieved since our inception… and the results speak for themselves:

These aren't just statistics. They represent a real transformation in how financial services operate, making them more efficient, transparent, and accessible.

We’ve also been able to accomplish several Industry-Firsts.

What Comes Next: The Future of DeFI

In 2021, DeFi promised a future where financial access would be open by design. While revolutionary, this disruption came with several unsolved challenges: Regulatory hurdles; Poor user experiences; and most importantly, the best yield rates and financial instruments remained with institutions and millionaires.

Real world asset tokenization has started to change that. Regulatory tailwinds are here. UX for onchain tools are improving. Companies are leveraging blockchain to democratize access to assets that were only available to banks and “qualified investors.”

Several of our own chain partners are building ‘first-of-its-kind’ services that bring novel products backed by real-world assets into the hands of everyday people, without needing to be a DeFi power user.

At Provenance, we believe that the best onchain products won’t feel like Web3, but they’ll be just as fast, fair, and flexible. We’ve laid the groundwork in working with institutional powerhouses and FSPs to build the next generation of asset-backed DeFi products, but now it’s time to open the doors to everyone.

We want to build the next generation of Web3 — let’s call it Web3.5 — and here’s what we think it looks like:

• Composable and global, blurring the lines between CeFi and DeFi.

• Enables you to Become Your Own Bank, take finances into your own hands and push the boundaries on how the average person can build wealth.

• User-First, Blockchain Second. Streamlined and accessible user experiences running on top of onchain rails.

• Native digital assets backed by real-world finance. Products based on real assets with real value, delivering competitive yield to anyone. No more building on speculation and hype.

The Three Pillars of Our Transformation

As we begin our next chapter, we're motivated by three key focus areas that will fuel the next phase of our growth and help us start the next DeFi Summer → powered by Web3.5.

1. Interoperability of Assets:

   With Web3.5, you should be able to trade when you want, where you want, and how you want. That is only possible with a multi-chain future, and we’re actively building towards this by creating bridges that connect our innovations to other chains that you know and love… and we’ve partnered with just the right one to get us started.

   Announcement coming soon.

2. Incubating dApps:

   Our goal here? To become the most supportive chain on the market. Open-sourced development and collaboration are the foundations of the new digital economy, and it’s how Web3.5 should be built too. We’ll be coming out with more initiatives aimed at attracting trailblazing developers, pioneers and founders to build on Provenance.

   We’re aiming for Fall 2025 to host our first IRL Builder Event!

3. Innovation, driven by unlocking RWA Use-Cases:

   We’re taking our $14B+ in RWA TVL and making them usable by building out new ways for anyone to access that value. Whether that’s through establishing chain partners or integrating projects that align with our vision into the Provenance ecosystem, we’re deeply committed to moving assets that were once exclusively reserved for institutions, and putting them into the hands of individuals.

   It’s already in motion.

   Transformative products, built by the most forward-thinking protocols, are preparing to ship. All powered by Provenance Blockchain.

Why Now? A Strategic Evolution

Our decision to renew our mission and visual identity is not a pivot, but a natural evolution in our journey. From the beginning, our strategy has been methodical and purposeful: build trust with institutions first, establish real-world use cases, and demonstrate substantial volume to exemplify how blockchain can modernize financial services.

Our core mission has always been to create community-first, democratized access to finance, and this rebrand is a bold first step towards that vision. With the rails built and adoption growing, the moment has come to shift from institutional proof to user empowerment.

We’re positioning ourselves to welcome the wider Web3 community into an ecosystem that's already proven, operational, and valuable. This next chapter is an expansion of who we serve and how we serve them.

Building the Financial Future Together

We believe that value shouldn’t just flow between billion-dollar balance sheets. It should flow to you. To the small business owner accessing credit. To the users earning yield from their hard-earned equity. To developers building tools for financial freedom.

Provenance is where onchain becomes invisible. Where users interact with simple, institutional-grade apps while blockchain secures the backend. Where validators are rightfully rewarded for securing the network, and where builders are empowered to create products that the “regular Joe” can benefit from, not just crypto insiders.

We’re aligning incentives and shifting the center of gravity from the boardroom to the browser. From credit committees to smart contracts. From complexity to clarity.

This isn't just a rebrand; it's a recommitment to our vision of financial services that work for everyone. We invite our institutional partners, developers, and the broader Web3 community to join us in building the future of DeFi — Web3.5.
