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.

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.

CIP-0105 introduced a long-term locking framework for Super Validators. SVs can lock a portion of their lifetime earned rewards to maintain forward SV Weight. The framework creates visible, on-chain commitment to the network. Key details: 🔸Participation is voluntary 🔸Applies to aggregate lifetime earnings, including historical rewards 🔸No exemptions for the Foundation, ecosystem funds, or any other entities 🔸Uniform application across all participants The design ties network influence to long-term alignment. SVs that commit more, carry more weight in governance.

Every application on Canton runs its own infrastructure, its own privacy rules, and its own governance, with no shared validator pool and no global mempool exposing data to parties who have no business seeing it. The Global Synchronizer connects all of them, so transactions across independent applications settle atomically in one indivisible action, with each party seeing only what they need to see. This is what a network of networks actually means in practice.

The rsETH markets on Aave V3 and Aave V4 have been frozen. Aave's contracts have not been exploited and this is an exploit related to rsETH. The freeze follows an exploit of the Kelp DAO rsETH bridge. Freezing the rsETH markets prevents new deposits and borrowing against rsETH collateral while the situation is assessed. We are reviewing information about rsETH borrows on Aave that occurred after the exploit and will share more details as soon as possible. If the protocol accumulates bad debt from this incident, we'll explore paths to offset the deficit.

Assets cannot remain idle. They must be put to work with the speed, security, and certainty institutions require.

Institutional adoption requires production infrastructure. Canton operates as market infrastructure, coordinating assets, applications, and cash in real time. With tokenized bank deposits as a native cash leg, settlement is continuous and atomic. Built for execution at scale.
