Public Masterpiece Announces PMT Chain, A Layer 1 Built for the Real-World Asset Economy

PMT Chain offers white-label solutions for museums, galleries, and governments, with PMT token up 75% in 12 months, aiming to secure and authenticate real-world assets.

  • On February 17, 2026, Public Masterpiece announced PMT Chain, its purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain designed for real-world asset tokenization from Karavas, Cyprus.
  • Building on Layer 2 traction with BNB Chain, Public Masterpiece followed a seven-year program with five years of R&D after a $1.1 trillion industry stress test.
  • The network will include white-label tokenization and certification solutions, and the PMT token rose 75%, outperforming 86% of top 100 cryptocurrencies, while Public Masterpiece Technology expands the PMT name.
  • Founders say the chain is ready but will launch only when timing is strategically optimal, with COO Garen Mehrabian stating `Web3 will not reach mass adoption if it feels like a casino` and the CEO warning that `narratives collapse when foundations are weak`.
  • If adopted, PMT Chain aims to establish a framework authenticating artworks and physical assets on-chain, while several governments discuss scaling into real estate and broader real-world assets.
