Research Update: The World’s First Private AI Agent Payment Settles on Canton Last month, we announced fresh funding to a researcher at Cambridge University to support the development of a Canton-native standard protocol for AI agents - p402. On April 23, the world’s first fully private AI agent settled its first transaction on @CantonNetwork, as a vital first step towards the construction of p402 itself. p402 is a direct response to an issue raised by leading VC @a16z just days ago… “There is still no broadly adopted, interoperable way for one agent to prove to another who it represents, what it’s allowed to do, and how it gets paid.” Read the full announcement below ⬇️

We pay your intern so you don't have to. We're launching an internship matchmaking program for @colosseum projects. Call us the Colosseum Cupid. 👼 🏹 We connect you with interns already looking for projects to work with. They can run your social media, design your pitch deck, or work on the technical build. If you're a project looking for an intern: 1. Go to superteamuk.org/colosseum-fron… 2. Log in. The system should pull up any startup linked to your email. If not, tell us about yours. 3. Click 'Find an Intern', browse profiles, message anyone you'd like to work with. Interns submit their work to a @SuperteamEarn bounty, so the best ones over Colosseum get paid. Free for the projects, paid for the interns. 🫡 🇬🇧

Great discussion at Oxford this week. Wook Lee joined @cantor8 and @blockchainox to explore how sovereign assets and digital infrastructure are evolving across global markets.

📣Cantor8 Welcomes EDENA Capital CEO to Oxford University It was a special privilege to host @Edenaofficial CEO, Wook Lee, at Christ Church College, University of Oxford. During an intimate discussion followed by a formal dinner in Christ Church’ iconic Great Hall, our university partners had ample opportunity to question Wook and hear firsthand about the massive impact he has made in sectors ranging from Law and Climate Change, through to Financial Innovation and Digital Assets. Thank you to members of @camblockchains and @oxfordblocksoc for joining what was a truly unforgettable experience.

@Elliott_Blast @Kaspa_Commons @hashdag @OxfordUnion @DrAdaku Hey! Please DM us, happy to chat! :)

@Kaspa_Commons @hashdag @OxfordUnion @DrAdaku CC: @blockchainox

Kaspa founder, Yonatan Sompolinsky @hashdag will speak at the @OxfordUnion on March 12. (He is at Oxford for a series of meetings from the 10th to the 12th) The #OxfordUnion has hosted world leaders, scientists, and major thinkers for over 200 years. An invitation to speak there signals that an idea has entered serious global debate. Sompolinsky’s work helped shape modern blockchain consensus. His early work on the GHOST protocol influenced design decisions in Ethereum, and his later work led to GHOSTDAG, the blockDAG consensus powering #Kaspa. Today that research and development continues with the incoming protocol, #DAGKnight, advancing the vision of real-time decentralized networks. Seeing Kaspa’s lead researcher on one of the world’s most historic academic stages reflects something important. Kaspa is not just another crypto project. It is the result of years of peer-reviewed research exploring how decentralized infrastructure can scale. March 12 will bring that conversation to one of the most respected academic halls in the world. Thanks to @Kaspa_KEF for enabling this strategic alliance with the historic Oxford Union. Note: Look forward to news about an upcoming hackathon for Oxford's top student builders to dive into the ecosystem.

A huge thank you to @CumberlandSays and @digitalasset co-founder @wesarn_real for joining us for last night's exclusive fireside discussion. Cantor8's university partners from Cambridge, Oxford, and Imperial College asked some incredible questions about @CantonNetwork and the future of institutional blockchain more broadly. We hope very much to have you again, Eric. Maybe next time in person! [Images: @camblockchains @iclblockchain @imperialaisoc]

Exclusive Fireside Discussion: Eric Saraniecki We are proud to be joined by @wesarn_real, tomorrow evening, for an exclusive fireside discussion with Cantor8’s network of university partners - across Cambridge University, Oxford University, and Imperial College London. Who is Eric Saraniecki…? Eric is one of blockchain’s single most successful entrepreneurs and builders. After co-founding multi-billion dollar market maker @CumberlandSays, Eric went on to become a co-founder at @digitalasset and @CantonNetwork itself - the world’s leading blockchain by way of institutional adoption, made possible by its in-built privacy and compliance features. As a result of his achievements, Eric is the ultimate authority on both Canton itself, and the institutional future of blockchain technology. Though the event itself is open only to students and alumni from… @camblockchains @iclblockchain @imperialaisoc @blockchainox … we’ll be sharing recorded highlights and clips shortly after. So stay tuned for exclusive insights.

We are honoured and delighted to be invited to participate in The British Blockchain Association’s 8th Blockchain International Scientific Conference (ISC2026) as University Blockchain Partners of the conference. @Brit_blockchain BBA’s Blockchain International Scientific Conferences (ISCs) are among the most prestigious international scientific gatherings in the field of blockchain. ISCs bring together scientists, industry leaders, policymakers, and think-tank bodies from around the globe, and scholars present ground-breaking papers alongside impact industry case studies.

📣A privilege to have @MlvsBznz, Executive Director at the @CantonFdn, dial into our recent London dinner to speak to our close friends at... @camblockchains (Cambridge University) @iclblockchain (Imperial College) @imperialaisoc (Imperial College) @blockchainox (Oxford University) We thoroughly enjoyed the inside insight into what makes @CantonNetwork special, the future of the ecosystem, the newly launched Ecosystem Development Fund, and much more besides. Looking forward to next time 🥂

📍 We are delighted to welcome @UniofOxford Blockchain Society as Conference Partners at ISC2026. 🏛️ With evidence of teaching as early as 1096, Oxford is the oldest university in the English-speaking world and the world's second-oldest university in continuous operation. 🌐 Oxford University is one of the 1100+ universities in the BBA's expanding blockchain university network: lnkd.in/dGagHbqi 🎤 The Oxford Blockchain Society (@blockchainox) student leaders will be speaking and showcasing the Society’s work, led by @DrAdaku, @Behradamp, and their colleagues. ➡️ To register for the ISC2026: eventbrite.co.uk/e/bbas-8th-blo… #ISC2026 #Research #EvidenceBasedBlockchain #Blockchain #Crypto
