Zenith

They told us it was impossible. We did it anyways. Today we announce Zenith. POV: You wake up H2 2026 and Ethereum‘s application layer has fully teleported into Wall Street’s blockchain of choice. We are that protocol, now opening a direct on-ramp between the world’s largest programmable and institutional blockchain ecosystems.

@BlockLore_ Zth. 🚀

Zenith processed 100,000+ atomic swaps between Canton and Ethereum, proving Solidity smart contracts can run alongside Canton’s $9T/month infrastructure. This tightens DeFi’s link to institutional blockchain layers. blocklore.co/zenith-connect…

@DanielGKuhn No bridges, no rewrites, just Solidity meeting Wall Street rails. Zth.

Despite the pedigree of Canton's backers, it arguably faces an uphill battle attracting talent due to its reliance on the bespoke Daml programming language, an issue explored in the "Polyglot Canton" white paper last year. Zenith saw this as an opportunity to build metaphorical bridges to Ethereum -->

@zenithfdn @BSCNews @CantonNetwork Great news! 👏

Spot on: Zenith just got covered by @BSCNews Zenith has been officially onboarded as a Tier-1 Super Validator on @CantonNetwork alongside institutional giants like DTCC, Nasdaq, and Chainlink in the Global Synchronizer, delivering unmodified Solidity execution with atomic composability. Testnet already proving it: 100k+ EVM txs, latency as low as 400ms (unoptimized), full end-to-end flow. Ethereum builders, your on-ramp to real capital markets is here. Zth.

@akyra_0 @CantonNetwork More devs → more apps → more real volume → sustainable token demand This is exactly the flywheel we’re building. Thanks for the insight! Zth.

Excellent response, and honestly, this seems much more important than it might appear at first glance. Right now, those 100,000 transactions aren't contributing anything to the price because they're still on an internal test network. So far, so good. But what's truly relevant isn't the immediate present, but rather what the architecture they're describing implies. The key point is this: If, when Zenith goes live, 100% of that activity generates fees and actual $CC burning, then we'd no longer be talking about just a pretty technical demo, but a new, direct engine for capturing value for the token. And that can be a major catalyst for several reasons: • It opens the door for the entire EVM/Solidity world to start building on Canton without having to learn another stack from scratch. • That means more developers, more apps, more experimentation, and more potential volume. • And if all that activity passes through the network's monetization layer, then each new use case not only grows the ecosystem but also fuels fees and $CC burns. That's where the game changes. Until now, one of the market's biggest questions was whether Canton would remain just a very powerful but relatively closed institutional infrastructure. Zenith can break precisely that barrier because it connects: • Canton's institutional infrastructure • with the speed of innovation in the Ethereum world. And if that union materializes in a mainnet with actual $CC burns, then we're no longer just talking about institutional narratives, but a new structural source of economic demand for the token. That's why I see it as a potential major catalyst: because it wouldn't just be "more network adoption," but adoption that directly monetizes $CC. That's the key. In short: the price isn't changing today because it's still on the testnet, but if this moves to the mainnet as they explain, Zenith could become one of the most bullish tokens in the entire Canton ecosystem. Not because of hype, but because it could bring new volume, new usage, and real burn to the token. @YuvalRooz @waynecollier111

BREAKING: 100K+ transactions processed in Zenith EVM x @CantonNetwork internal test environment. Zenith EVM transactions already run across Canton with latency hitting as low as 400ms. With Canton sequencing the transaction, participants validating the execution, and the result becoming part of the network state.

@CantonNetwork 100K+ EVM txs at sub-1.5s latency in testnet ✅

Technical Milestone Unlocked.

@crypto_meii 🫣

@zenithfdn 🔥🔥

This is it. Canton ⇆ Ethereum. In our internal test environment we’ve recently processed 100K+ EVM transactions at 400ms–1.5s latency (unoptimized). Every tx routes through Canton and settles with full institutional-grade guarantees. This is DeFi tooling meeting real financial workflows. Check out the end-to-end atomic transaction path on our public explorer: explorer.zenith.network Zth.

@BSCNews @CantonNetwork @ethereum Tier-1 Super Validator on @CantonNetwork ✅ Atomic EVM composability ✅ 100K+ EVM txs at sub-1.5s latency in testnet ✅ The convergence is official. Zth.

🚨LATEST: ZENITH FOUNDATION JOINS CANTON NETWORK AS SUPER VALIDATOR @ZenithFdn has been onboarded as a Super Validator on @CantonNetwork, tasked with building an EVM execution layer that allows @Ethereum developers to deploy Solidity applications on Canton without rewriting code in Daml. The key technical contribution is atomic composability, transactions can span both Canton-native Daml and EVM legs simultaneously, with settlement succeeding or failing as one unit, eliminating the need for bridges entirely.

@Thormichaey Testnet proof: 100K+ EVM txs at sub-1.5s latency 🫡

The real value of @zenithfdn is simple: Developers can use Ethereum tools and logic without rebuilding everything for a separate institutional stack.

@aviniazov7 @CantonNetwork This is it.

@CantonNetwork Atomic swaps + Solidity execution on a private, compliant layer — this is what TradFi institutions have been waiting for. The Zenith bridge could be the missing piece for real institutional DeFi adoption.

Solidity execution now operates in coordination with Canton’s settlement layer. Linked by Zenith. Atomic swaps between Canton ⇆ Ethereum. Private, compliant, integrated with real financial workflows.

@zenithfdn Nice job

What does atomic composability on Canton unlock for my business? Zenith operates as a genuine RETH-based EVM environment using Ethereum's unmodified Rust client. It is not an EVM-compatible layer or wrapper; it is a full Ethereum execution environment running as an EVM subnet on @CantonNetwork. Any Solidity application deployed on Zenith composes atomically with any Canton-native application (across any Canton subnet or wallet) with the exact same experience as if the application were built natively on Canton. Developers experience near-identical deployment flow to Ethereum: lift-and-shift existing Solidity code, switch the RPC endpoint to @zenithfdn, and continue using Hardhat, Foundry, @MetaMask, and other standard tooling. No rewrites, no new language barriers. Core mechanics of atomic multi-leg execution Canton has enshrined atomic composability from the beginning through its Global Synchronizer, enabling private institutional domains to interact seamlessly. Zenith extends this to EVM: - An institution on Canton can initiate a transaction that locks tokens or stablecoins on the Canton side. - The Canton leg executes sub-operations including an external_call() that directly invokes the Zenith EVM application. - The Zenith leg performs the corresponding actions (e.g., minting, swapping into an RWA asset, depositing into a @Morpho-like or @aave-style vault). - Confirmation flows back to Canton atomically. - All sub-operations across Canton and Zenith succeed together or revert together in a single unified transaction. This removes multi-TX bridging risks entirely: no partial failures where one leg locks but another does not mint or execute. The global synchronizer is going parabolic with this one. This is Canton. This is atomic. This is EVM, and SVM. Zth.

@AlexWinfield13 @CantonFdn @CantonNetwork From Zero to Zenith 🚀

@CantonFdn @zenithfdn @CantonNetwork How cool is that… 🙌🏻

Welcoming @zenithfdn as a Super Validator on Canton (CIP-0091 | Weight 10). 🎊 Zenith is building the EVM execution layer for @CantonNetwork, letting Ethereum developers deploy Solidity apps on Canton without rewriting everything in Daml, while keeping Canton's privacy, compliance, and atomic settlement properties intact. Two angles: Zenith EVM for developers who want familiar Ethereum tooling on Canton, and Zenith Stack for institutions that want their own customizable EVM environment with full control over permissions, fees, and compliance boundaries. The key technical contribution is atomic composability, a transaction can span both a Canton-native Daml leg and an EVM leg, and either both succeed or the whole thing fails. Settlement is atomic, coordination is Canton, and there are no bridges in between. As an SV, every milestone is tied to real usage on the network. Bringing Ethereum developers into institutional finance infrastructure. Glad to have them governing the network!

@kristintto @CantonNetwork Zth.🫰

@zenithfdn @CantonNetwork super 🔥

Approved as a Tier-1 Super Validator via CIP-0091, with a maximum voting weight of 10, Zenith now operates across multiple governing committees on @CantonNetwork, taking its place alongside institutions like DTCC, Nasdaq, and Chainlink in the Global Synchronizer. In this role, Zenith contributes directly to Canton's governance, ecosystem fund, transaction validation, and protocol-level decisions, with a particular focus on strengthening the network’s execution layer. By bringing Ethereum application environments to Canton, Zenith expands what can be built on institutional rails, ensuring enhanced programmability. Solidity contracts now can run natively within the same privacy-preserving and compliant framework that already handles trillions in monthly tokenized asset volume, all while maintaining atomic composability and sub-second confirmation times.
