Hash Global Joins ValueChain as Validator Node Operator, Advancing Decentralization and On-Chain Financial Innovation

TL;DR

• • Hash Global operates a validator node on ValueChain and participates in consensus, helping strengthen the network’s security, resilience and decentralization.
  • The parties will explore collaboration across RWA tokenization, index methodology development and on-chain issuance, and on-chain wealth-management product innovation.
  • The partnership combines Hash Global’s investment research, asset-management expertise 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 validators.

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

ValueChain’s mission is to make global financial market opportunities accessible on-chain for everyone. By integrating asset issuance, custody, trading and distribution on a single blockchain, ValueChain enables the creation and issuance of indices combining crypto assets and real-world assets (RWAs). It builds trust through KYT and custody, provides liquidity through SoDEX’s native on-chain order book, and connects with investors through the SoSoValue research platform. Since its mainnet launch in February 2026, the ValueChain ecosystem has surpassed US$100 million in total value locked (TVL), with more than 200,000 active addresses holding assets and over 10 million registered users on the SoSoValue terminal. In particular, the SSI Protocol ranks among the world’s largest on-chain index protocols.

Hash Global’s addition marks a milestone in opening ValueChain’s validator network to independent ecosystem partners. ValueChain’s Proof-of-Stake network, powered by CometBFT, is designed to expand toward a more distributed validator set. Adding experienced, long-term operators strengthens decentralization and resilience while maintaining the performance required by on-chain financial applications.

Beyond network operations, the parties will collaborate on RWA sourcing and tokenization, index methodology development and on-chain issuance, and on-chain wealth-management product innovations. By connecting Hash Global’s asset-sourcing and management capabilities with ValueChain’s research, issuance and trading infrastructure, the collaboration aims to support the full investment journey for on-chain users.

“ValueChain aims to enable everyone to access high-quality financial assets on-chain, and every team with asset management expertise to launch their own on-chain products. Hash Global brings a rare combination of validator experience, investment research and asset-management expertise. Together, we want to make global market opportunities accessible for everyone and help users manage wealth on-chain—without giving up control of their assets.“

—May Wang, Co-Founder of ValueChain

“We see strong growth potential for index-based on-chain products, and we believe this requires support from product issuance, distribution, and trading infrastructure. What attracts us to ValueChain is that it combines these capabilities with an existing investment research platform and the SoSoValue investor community, providing a foundation for on-chain finance innovation and product distribution. We see clear synergy with Hash Global’s RWA business: we can contribute asset sourcing and investment management capabilities, while both sides jointly explore on-chain distribution and investor community building. These concrete business opportunities are the commercial rationale behind our decision to participate as a ValueChain validator node operator.“

—KK, Founder of Hash Global

Hash Global’s addition is part of a broader effort to expand the range of strategic partners contributing to ValueChain’s security and operations. Additional validator operators from the infrastructure, investment and financial services sectors are expected to join over time, further distributing participation in consensus as the ecosystem grows.
