Canton Foundation

The #HackCanton Season #1 Grand Final concludes! We're proud to see the 12 finalists build and pitch incredible use cases live, ranging from cross-organization on-chain settlement to privacy-first prediction markets and atomic swaps. Watch the full recap below to discover the pitches, winners, and what comes after #HackCanton Season 1.

CIP-56 is Canton's token standard. What makes it different from other token standards: Token admins control who can transfer assets and to whom. Receivers control from whom they accept assets. Both operate with Canton's privacy model, meaning asset holdings and transfers are shared on a need-to-know basis. The standard is already live in production. Tradeweb executed the first real-time, fully on-chain financing of U.S. Treasuries against USDC using a repo application built on CIP-56.

@temple_ny @chainlink Beyond excited for the future of Temple 👏

As Temple expands its market infrastructure to include more trading instruments, asset classes, and functionality, it’s critical to collaborate with the best teams with a long track record of excellence. That is why we are working closely with @chainlink on a range of initiatives to support complex use cases for institutional adoption on @cantonnetwork.

Atomic settlement means a transaction either completes entirely or does not happen at all. On Canton, atomic settlement works across applications. Two separate apps, operated by different institutions, can settle a multi-party transaction as a single, indivisible operation. This is coordinated by the Global Synchronizer without requiring either party to trust the other or a central intermediary.

Three committees govern the Canton Foundation: Tech & Operations: Protocol standards, network upgrades, developer tooling, and the Protocol Development Fund. Responsible for evaluating and funding contributions to Canton's core infrastructure. Tokenomics: Canton Coin economics, emissions parameters, app reward structures, SV weight allocations, and validator onboarding. Every change to how value flows through the network passes through this committee. Accountability: Milestone verification, SV compliance, and reward escrow oversight. The enforcement layer ensuring governance commitments are met. Each committee has defined responsibilities, membership criteria, and reporting obligations.

@CantonFdn @Jpandya26 @bootlegdakid @CantonNetwork gm, institutions keeping sovereign ledgers but sharing settlement rails is the only model TradFi will actually sign legal docs for. Canton figured that out early LFG

This Thursday we're hosting a live session on Discord with @JPandya26 and @BootLegDaKid to talk through tools, resources, and what's ahead for builders in the Canton ecosystem. Whether you're actively building on @CantonNetwork or exploring where to start, this is the space to ask questions and connect directly with the DevRel team.

@sanujitmajhi_07 @Jpandya26 @bootlegdakid @CantonNetwork Let us know if you have questions!

@CantonFdn @Jpandya26 @bootlegdakid @CantonNetwork Yes sure , it's been 1 mnth I'm learning canton network. But there are still some point that is not clear yet . I hope this will help me to explore more things.

@cantor8 @Bloomberg @digitalasset @a16z Awesome stuff!

Meet the Developer Behind Canton Network Itself. You've likely caught the @Bloomberg headline saying that @digitalasset is raising ~$300 million at a $2 billion valuation in a round expected to be led by legendary VC @a16z. But few truly understand DA's incredible history, journey and positioning... What is Digital Asset? DA was founded way back in 2014, just five years after $BTC itself, by experienced founders in @YuvalRooz, @wesarn_real and @ShaulKfir. The company is the driving force behind the Daml smart contract language - a purpose-built language that is key to the features that make @CantonNetwork so appealing to regulated institutions and sectors. Today, DA has representation in New York, London, and Hong Kong (the list goes on) and it remains one of, if not the leader when it comes to institutional-grade DLT and blockchain technology. In the 2026 era, and as Canton matures alongside the @CantonFdn, DA remains a vital bridge between traditional finance and the digital financial future, having partnered with the likes of Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Euroclear, and countless others. At Cantor8, we support DA's fundraising process and look forward to the benefits it can bring to the $CC ecosystem at large...

Turning wallet data into 3D cities is a wild angle - love seeing this kind of creative Canton build ship ))

@sanujitmajhi_07 @Jpandya26 @bootlegdakid @CantonNetwork Nice, see you there!

@XIII_XCIX @SEABWofficial Come get some!

@CantonFdn @SEABWofficial Any coffe

Canton Builders Breakfast next week during @SEABWofficial in Bangkok. A curated morning for builders, infra teams, exchanges, and institutions shaping the next phase of on-chain finance across APAC. Coffee and focused conversations on stablecoin infrastructure, interoperability, institutional architecture, and what it takes to scale. Hosted by @0xThomasChou, @JPandya26, @0xTeagan, and @MlvsBznz.

@SupersetFinance @CantonNetwork @ZenithFdn Awesome thread!

The @CantonNetwork is where institutions are building. EVM chains are where stablecoin liquidity already lives at scale. This integration connects both under one execution surface. @ZenithFdn gives Superset the spoke. Let’s break down how this works.

Describe Canton in one sentence, but make it understandable to someone who heard about it yesterday.
