Key Highlights

• Hash Global has become a validator node operator for ValueChain and participates in consensus, helping to enhance the network's security, resilience, and decentralization.
• The two parties will explore collaboration in real-world asset (RWA) tokenization, index construction and on-chain issuance, as well as innovation in on-chain wealth management products.
• This partnership will combine Hash Global's investment research, asset management capabilities, and institutional network with ValueChain's integrated ecosystem spanning research, asset issuance, trading, and wealth management.
• More strategic partners are expected to join the ValueChain network as validator node operators.

Singapore, November 3, 2026——ValueChain announced that Hash Global, a Web3 and digital asset investment firm, has joined its validator network as a validator node operator and participates in network consensus, supporting the secure and stable operation of ValueChain.

ValueChain's mission is to enable everyone to access global financial market opportunities on-chain. By integrating asset issuance, custody, trading, and distribution on a single chain, ValueChain supports the blended construction and issuance of indices comprising crypto assets and real-world assets (RWA), reduces trust costs through KYT and custody, provides liquidity via SoDEX's native on-chain order book, and connects investors through the SoSoValue research platform. Since its mainnet launch in February 2026, ValueChain's ecosystem total value locked (TVL) has exceeded $100 million, the number of active addresses with assets has surpassed 200,000, and cumulative registered users on the SoSoValue terminal have exceeded 10 million. Among these, SSI Protocol is one of the largest on-chain index protocols globally.

Hash Global's participation marks an important step in ValueChain's validator network opening up to independent ecosystem partners. ValueChain's proof-of-stake (PoS) network is powered by CometBFT and is designed to scale into a more distributed and decentralized validator set. Bringing in experienced operators committed to long-term co-building will enhance the network's decentralization and resilience while maintaining the performance required for on-chain financial applications.

Beyond node network operations, the two parties will also collaborate on RWA asset onboarding and tokenization, index construction and on-chain issuance, and innovation in on-chain wealth management products. This partnership combines Hash Global's asset onboarding and asset management capabilities with ValueChain's research, issuance, and trading infrastructure, empowering on-chain users throughout the entire investment process.

May Wang, Co-founder of ValueChain, said:

"What ValueChain aims to do is enable everyone to buy high-quality global assets on-chain, and enable every team with asset management capabilities to issue products on-chain. Hash Global is one of the rare institutions in the industry that combines validator operation experience with investment research and asset management expertise. We look forward to continuing to co-build with Hash Global, enabling everyone to access global market opportunities and helping users participate in on-chain wealth management through self-custodial wallets."

KK, Founder of Hash Global, said:

"We are optimistic about the growth potential of on-chain index products, whose development requires the support of product issuance, distribution, and trading infrastructure. ValueChain combines these capabilities with the SoSoValue research platform and investor community, laying a solid foundation for on-chain financial innovation and product distribution. Hash Global's RWA business has significant synergies with ValueChain: we contribute asset onboarding and investment management capabilities, while both parties jointly advance on-chain distribution and investor community building. It is precisely based on these concrete business opportunities that we decided to become a ValueChain validator node operator."

Hash Global's participation is part of ValueChain's ongoing efforts to expand strategic partners and jointly participate in network security and operations. As the ecosystem develops, more strategic partners in on-chain infrastructure, asset management, and financial services are expected to join, further advancing the decentralization of consensus participation.
