Canton Network

February CIP Update!💛 Canton Improvement Proposals (CIPs) are how the network governs itself every change to validators, parameters, or incentives must be formally proposed, reviewed, and approved by Super Validators: ◽️ CIP-0104: Traffic-Based App Rewards shifts app rewards from marker-based activity tracking to real traffic-based measurement (and makes protocol confirmations free) to better align incentives and reduce validator cost friction. This enables a fairer, more scalable app reward system that ties incentives to real usage of the @CantonNetwork.

There are more people in finance fixing yesterday’s errors than building tomorrow’s opportunities. On @CantonNetwork, reconciliation is instant, no 'red pens' required. When the asset and the cash swap as a single atomic event, the risk of a "failed trade" disappears.

JUST IN: Zenith CBO & Co-Founder @HeslinKim nailed it in this guest post on @CantonNetwork "For Ethereum developers and projects, Zenith offers the ideal onramp to this next-generation infrastructure. Teams can deploy applications directly on Zenith EVM, launch dedicated Zenith Stack instances on Canton for full privacy, institutional-grade scale, and regulatory alignment, or maintain flexible dual-chain architectures that combine Ethereum's deep liquidity with Canton's unparalleled compliance and synchronized finality."

Canton Foundation governs the Global Synchronizer through 3 core working groups: → Tech and Operations: Coordinates Super Validators, maintains Canton and Splice reference implementations, and governs the Protocol Development Fund including milestone delivery for all ecosystem work. → Tokenomics: Tunes incentives, calibrates rewards, reviews Featured App and validator applications, and recommends adjustments as the network scales. → Accountability: Reviews completed CIP deliverables, assesses whether milestones have been met, and recommends action when they have not. Governance with teeth. All operating in public with documented meeting cadences, mailing lists, and published outputs. This is what institutional grade governance looks like onchain on the @CantonNetwork!

Real-world asset tokenization is reshaping financial markets. @CantonNetwork is one of the networks where this shift is already live: $8T in assets and $350B in daily volume. RedStone provides the pricing infrastructure that enables institutional RWA to function at scale.

We just published our latest research: "Tokenized Deposits: The Future of Money." The report breaks down how commercial bank deposits are moving onto blockchain infrastructure, and what that means for the financial system. Here's what we found: 🪙 Tokenized deposits, stablecoins, and CBDCs serve different roles. They complement each other rather than compete. 🪙 J.P. Morgan, Citi, BNY, Standard Chartered, HSBC and Lloyds are already running live tokenized deposit services for institutional clients. 🪙 Five US regional banks announced a shared tokenized deposit network in February 2026, signaling adoption beyond the top tier. 🪙 87% of financial institutions are exploring tokenization. 🪙 Digital currencies are projected to process up to $13 trillion in transaction value by 2030. 🪙 Global customer deposits totaled $103 trillion in 2024. Even a fraction moving on-chain creates a market far larger than today's stablecoin sector. The regulatory picture is also shifting. The US GENIUS Act provides clarity for stablecoins while keeping tokenized deposits under existing banking law. The UK's GBTD pilot is live with seven major banks. The ECB is advancing the Digital Euro. And in the UAE, the Digital Dirham has gone live on the mBridge platform. The big challenge ahead: interoperability. Tokenized deposits remain liabilities of individual banks. Scaling requires networks that let deposits issued by one bank settle with another. Projects like BIS Project Agora, Partior, and the UK's GBTD are working on exactly this. This report was shaped with contributions from 15 organizations, including @StanChart, @Citi, @BNYglobal, @jpmorgan, @iOndoFinance, @digitalasset, @CantonNetwork, @LayerZero_Core, @BMW, @ABNAMRO, @ERC3643Org, @trondao, @UKFtweets, @Cambridge_Uni and @Alchemy. A big thank you to anyone involved 🤝

People keep asking what makes @CantonNetwork different Here's a number: $400 billion in daily repo transactions. We're not talking about TVL sitting in a pool, or notional open interest This is actual institutional repo volume flowing through Canton rails every single day That's $2.5M-$3M in daily fees getting burned permanently Real throughput; Real burns; Real institutional flows Most L1s would kill for 1% of that activity
