Pharos Network, a blockchain built specifically for financial applications, has partnered with KUN, a licensed digital payments company operating across Asia, Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East.
The partnership has a clear focus: turn supply chain credit assets — invoices, receivables — into tradeable digital tokens, and build payment rails that let businesses settle cross-border transactions directly on-chain.
The problem they’re solving
Small and mid-sized suppliers in emerging markets routinely wait 30 to 90 days to get paid after delivering goods. That gap ties up working capital and stunts growth. Traditional financing options are slow and expensive, and most blockchain solutions to date have stopped at tokenization without fixing how money actually moves and settles.
What the two companies bring together
Pharos provides the institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure. KUN brings the licensed payment network and regulatory relationships across four continents. Combined, the partnership aims to give suppliers faster access to liquidity while keeping everything compliant.
Initial work will cover tokenizing supply chain credit assets, settling digital assets natively on-chain, building crypto-backed virtual card products, and expanding payment rails for commodity trading, B2B e-commerce, and service businesses.
Pharos launched its mainnet in April 2026 and already has over 50 active applications running on it.
