Tokenized real estate is no longer a theory — it’s a frontier being actively built. At the helm of this transformation is Plume Network, which is engineering the infrastructure layer to turn real-world property into programmable digital assets. As Deloitte projects $4 trillion in tokenized real estate by 2035, Plume is positioning itself as the go-to platform for scalable, compliant, and accessible asset onboarding.
In a recent sit-down with co-founder Teddy Pornprinya, we explored what it takes to build a real estate tokenization platform that can serve both global institutions and emerging-market retail users.
At the heart of Plume’s vision is Skylink, a LayerZero-powered product that eliminates clunky bridges and delivers a true omnichain experience. Through Skylink, a user on Solana or Sui can seamlessly deposit stablecoins into Plume-managed vaults and access tokenized real estate — all while staying on their native chain.
On the compliance side, Plume embeds regulatory enforcement into the smart contract layer. Instead of checking investor eligibility only at onboarding, every transfer is validated against KYC/AML requirements and jurisdictional rules, thanks to its ERC-3643 and ERC-20 hybrid token standards.
But what sets Plume apart is its willingness to operate behind the scenes. Traditional asset managers and DeFi-native platforms are now turning to Plume for token infrastructure, liquidity access, and marketing muscle. This makes Plume less of a competitor and more of a protocol enabler — a vital distinction in a crowded and often fragmented RWA landscape.
For non-U.S. users, Plume offers Nest, a legally structured vault built in the Marshall Islands that abstracts KYC processes for retail exposure. This is a big deal — it’s one of the few models that balances access with legal safety in a cross-border world.
On the question of custody and trust, Pornprinya made it clear: “We’re not reinventing custody. We’re collaborating with the best.” Plume relies on Anchorage, Fireblocks, and other regulated partners to deliver secure and insured storage — critical for large investors wary of on-chain risk.
The bottom line? Plume is more than a tokenization protocol. It’s a compliance, distribution, and infrastructure layer rolled into one — the kind of architecture needed to scale tokenized real estate from millions to trillions.
