What Pharos is
Pharos (PROS) is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 326th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Pharos is a Layer-1 smart-contract platform secured by proof-of-stake: validators lock PROS as collateral, and the protocol slashes anyone who misbehaves. The token is simultaneously gas, collateral, and a claim on staking yield.
How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more PROS bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.
Background & fundamentals
In sector terms it is most often filed under Base Ecosystem, Ethereum Classic (ETC) Token, and Layer 1 (L1).
Where Pharos sits in the market
With PROS near $0.4300, Pharos carries a market capitalization of $57.96M. Around $2.20M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 3.80% of the float — a healthy level of activity for an asset this size.
Pharos carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. The token is roughly -64% under its record of $1.20 — a meaningful but not catastrophic drawdown. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0178, PROS is up +2,316%.
What the price history shows
Recent moves read 24-hour -1.09%, 7-day -16.06%, 30-day +2,960.59%, 1-year +1,276.27%. PROS is currently trading near the bottom of its 365-day range (around the 1st percentile of recent closes).
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Pharos in the High-volatility band — it has been actively trading, with daily moves that would be unusual in traditional equities. Over the last 30 days the move totals +2,960.59%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
How to evaluate Pharos
A grounded read on PROS comes down to three questions:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of PROS staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Pharos over competing Layer-1s.
