It is with heavy hearts that we share the news of a tragic loss within our company. Earlier this week, we lost our cofounder and dear friend, Eugene. We’re in shock. Eugene was brilliant, deeply curious, and brought so much talent and heart to everything he did. Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones. The Plume team is grieving and supporting one another right now. We are focused on taking care of ourselves and each other over the next few days. This community was incredibly important to Eugene, and he poured his heart and soul into Plume, our team, and the community. We will deeply miss him and remain committed to ensuring the Plume technology he helped build continues to spur innovation and facilitate life onchain. Thank you for your understanding and your support.

Today, we're excited to unveil the first step of our mainnet journey: Plume Alpha. 🪶 We've always said that onchain RWAs shouldn't feel like classic RWAs -they should feel like crypto. On Plume, you'll be able to stake, swap, lend, borrow, and speculate with RWAs as seamlessly as with native crypto assets. This week, we'll begin onboarding deep liquidity, robust infrastructure, and a thriving ecosystem of dApps and partners. Once our ecosystem foundation is secure with proven applications, deep liquidity, and a performant network, we'll advance to Phase 2 – Plume Genesis. This is just the start of us building the future of RWAfi together.
