The next generation of Canton builders starts here.
Applications are now open for the Panther Hollow × Canton Accelerator.
We're looking for founders building on Canton’s private, institutionally focused infrastructure across capital markets, lending, derivatives, payments, and adjacent financial applications.
Selected teams will gain access to:
• Business development and ecosystem introductions
• Legal and regulatory guidance
• Capital formation support
• Strategic mentorship from operators, founders, and investors
• Direct access to the broader Canton ecosystem
We're building this accelerator for teams that want to move from idea to traction with the right infrastructure, network, and support behind them.
Apply here:
apply.pantherhollowventures.com/canton
Interested? Learn more here: pantherhollowventures.com/accelerator
If you're building the future of institutional finance on-chain, we'd love to have you build with us.

Most of the biggest wealth creation events happen before an IPO.
SpaceX.
OpenAI.
Stripe.
Anthropic.
By the time retail gets access, the early investors have already made life-changing money.
A new @CantonNetwork app called @hectoinc is trying to change that.

Someone tell me why this is wrong
Current USDC supply is unknown, globally
F12@f12sec
🚨 @namada (privacy chain) MASP drained ~$600K , and nobody noticed: The indexer still shows the funds, but live RPC says 0 ATOM, USDC, OSMO, TIA, NYM all swept from the shielded pool (over IBC) Privacy chain + stale indexer = invisible hack 🧵

Happy to be a Canton Track hackathon winner with @bootnodedev
We built Dark Pools, a dark pool trading venue built on @CantonNetwork. Traders post limit orders that only they and the venue can see, so there is no public order book and no pending transactions to front-run. The venue matches crossing buy and sell orders and settles both legs of the swap in a single atomic transaction, priced at the midpoint of the two limit prices. The privacy comes from Canton's selective disclosure at the ledger level, not from an added cryptography layer. The venue never holds funds and cannot set the price or move assets outside a valid fill. The contracts are generic across the Canton token standard, so any compliant token can be traded.
Presentation:

In the screenshot, you can see 2 traders (taker and maker) and the Dark Pool venue. Check the private TXs in the @FiveNorthHQ explorer: lighthouse.devnet.cantonloop.com/party/darkpool…
Shoot me a DM if interested in the Demo video + live app.

That's a wrap on @ETHGlobal New York. Canton Foundation was on the ground all weekend. $10,000 bounty across four tracks. Builders deploying on Canton DevNet in real-time. Conversations with developers exploring sub-transaction privacy for the first time. Thanks to everyone who stopped by the booth and built with us 🤍

Fed research paper argues that digital money (stablecoins, MMFs, tokenized deposits) can be "fragile" even when perfectly backed, due to the properties of the chain. The core argument is that the rails can cause a "run on the bank."
@CantonNetwork prevents this risk

Why did we raise our last round:
We’re already profitable. So why raise?
For years we’ve asked ourselves what it would take to truly bring finance OnChain. We believe @CantonNetwork has finally identified the components needed to establish crypto rails as a new global settlement layer, rather than treating crypto wallets as a mere distribution mechanism (as most “tokenization” does today). Those components are: privacy, issuer control and sovereignty, governance, and alignment of economics.
We have the largest organizations in the world moving their core businesses to run on Canton. That will drive utility to canton-network:native. @digitalasset’s entire business is canton-network:native.
So why raise? Because we have a unique opportunity right now. Organizations are willing. Regulators are willing. Admin is willing. We could wait for organic growth, or DA can step in to accelerate it. Rather than wait for large corporates with long budget cycles to build this infrastructure, DA will build much of what’s needed to double, triple, and quadruple canton-network:native utility.
We will enter new partnerships to build applications that drive more usage. Those will be announced later this year.
We will partner with builders to bring burns to subnets.
And there are potential M&A activities that will further align other companies with @CantonNetwork.
All of this requires a healthy balance sheet, which we now have.
There is still a lot of work to do, but I’m excited for what’s ahead.

@CashAnvil sorry to read this. I took a look at Anvil and fwiw I think some of your work may be transferable to Canton. Happy to see how we can help.

I put my entire life into Cardano. My time, my expertise, my savings. I’ve literally gone all in, and for over 5 years now.
No salary for 3 years, along with my co founder, and every payroll was paid on time. This isn’t meant as a guilt trip just context towards my reality.
I forced my cofounders to envelope the ‘entrepreneur mindset’ and make sacrifices to make our vision of Anvil work.
I thought we were in good company in Cardano. A bunch of scrappy, smart people who are building the future financial rails of the world. Unfortunately, not everyone was living like starving entrepreneurs and looted our community/treasury while keeping cushy salaries. Now the price is in the teens…and we can’t even get contracts on Cardano to sustain our business, with no indication that change is coming, all community business proposals are not passing atm.
I gave up my 30s for this. I had a great career trajectory making solid money. I don’t regret the decision I just wish it went different. Believe it or not, we didn’t make many stupid decisions, we were responsible with salaries, and ran very lean operations. Did we fail? Or did Cardano fail to flourish and create real opportunity?
I bought Ada, I believed in the token. I dropped my 401k on it. Held it religiously for 5 years, all to sell at .16 so I don’t lose my house? It’s insane lol was I supposed to sell on everyone’s heads? I thought being a believer was the whole point now I just feel like a sheep. I don’t even have the 100k Ada required anymore to go straight to the treasury. The only thing I can think of that hurt worse were my kidney stones. This is the most defeated I have felt in a long time.
And now I’m watching 8 months of hard work and relationship building get thrown away. Can’t get a hold of half the DReps otherwise you come off as annoying. Didn’t do a Japan tour? Good luck!
I had to waste 6 days explaining to one of our top DReps why the product needs Cardano. He basically said we didn’t need to use blockchain or cardano. Instead of explaining the value we create I gotta convince our top DReps why a project chose to build on Cardano? 🤯
Im not perfect but I damn sure tried to be! Answered everyone promptly, reached out to DReps, and did our best to listen/apply feedback. I show up everyday.
Can someone explain to me why I should keep trying to build here? I’ve legit lost everything but my wife who isn’t getting any happier with me.
Today is the first day I work towards getting my life back. IDK exactly what that means but I’m done feeling like this for nothing.

Congratulations @digitalasset on your MEGA $355m raise led by @a16z!!

Almost 12 years ago, I left @DRWTrading with @wesarn_real to start @digitalasset. @ShaulKfir joined us shortly after. The name felt right. The idea was simple but audacious: build a global settlement system that is asset agnostic. One that doesn’t eliminate banks, exchanges, and intermediaries, but tears down the barriers keeping people from accessing assets and settling at a fraction of today’s cost. A new financial world, built for the end consumer. We knew institutional adoption was the path. We just didn’t know how long it would take. We failed. We made bad decisions. There are things we would have done differently. But we never let go of our North Star, even when people around us were convinced we had no idea what we were doing. That focus, conviction, and most of all, patience, led us to launching @CantonNetwork. And the results speak for themselves. Today is a new chapter in that story. I’m proud to announce that @a16zcrypto is leading our latest round, joined by some of the giants of the global financial system, including @ABNAMRO, ADIA, @apolloglobal, @BNPParibasCIB, @Broadridge, @citsecurities, @CMEVentures, @cbventures, Green Wolf Asset Management, @Hanwha_Official, @HSBC, @icapitalnetwork, @LCVentures, @OptiverGlobal, @polychain, @R136Ventures, @SPGlobal, @sbigroup, @smash_capital, @SoFi, @Tradeweb, and @WilliamBlair, and others we’ll be naming shortly. Twelve years ago, I could not have imagined building alongside partners of this caliber. $CC today processes the highest fees of any institutional blockchain network. And we’re just getting started. What’s coming later this year is just as exciting. None of this happens without the builders, the ones who show up to weekly tokenomics meetings, dial into operations subcommittees, spend nights and weekends building apps on Canton, and show up on @X to cheer this ecosystem forward. You are not just supporters. You are partners. I’m honored to be on this journey with you. On a personal note: @a16z hits differently for me. Ben’s book The Hard Thing About Hard Things was one I kept coming back to during the hard stretches. Having his firm lead this round is meaningful in a way that’s hard to put into words. So I’ll let him do it: “The hard thing isn’t setting a big, audacious goal. The hard thing is spending sleepless nights trying to achieve it. The hard thing isn’t dreaming big. The hard thing is waking up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat when the dream turns into a nightmare. Motivating yourself by watching YouTube shorts or Instagram reels isn’t the hard thing. The hard thing is working every day and being consistent even if you feel like shit. The hard thing isn’t boasting you could achieve anything. The hard thing is working like hell to achieve something. The hard thing isn’t believing in yourself. The hard thing is getting things done when nobody believes in you, even when you doubt yourself. The hard thing isn’t telling yourself that you must achieve the impossible. The hard thing is toiling hard every day for years despite knowing that success is too uncertain.” theblock.co/post/404386/a1…

@jakemccrum @YuvalRooz @wesarn_real Vision only goes so much. Execution is what makes vision --> reality. Thanks Jake for hustling with us every day to make it a reality!
English
What a testament to the vision and direction that @YuvalRooz @wesarn_real and @ShaulKfir set for us over a decade ago (!!) + the conviction and relentless effort by all of us who have hopped on board along the way...
Could not be more excited to welcome new partners in this pursuit @a16zcrypto @cbventures @apolloglobal @CMEVentures and for the added vote of confidence from our all star cast of existing investors.
Your backing matters for every partner, operator and investor in the Canton ecosystem.

@CantonNetwork ranked first across all blockchains in protocol fee generation in Q1 2026.
$65.5M in fees during April. $9T in monthly transaction volume. 780+ active validators.
A lot has moved on Canton this year. 🧵👇

Mastercard is expanding stablecoin settlement to include intraday, weekend, and holiday options, with Canton as part of its supported blockchain ecosystem.
Privacy-preserving settlement infrastructure, built for institutional financial workflows, now 24/7.

High yield. B+ assessed. Senior secured. Natively issued on @CantonNetwork.
Before digital utility can exist, the use case must be live.
Before a digital asset has value, the asset itself must be legally structured, operational, and enforceable.
That is what KAIROS proves.
KAIROS is not just a tokenized note. It is a Canton-native private credit instrument built for regulated institutional finance from day one.
Senior secured rights. Trustee architecture. Insurance wrappers. Capital coverage. Investor controls.
Private credit is a multi-trillion-dollar market still running on opacity, manual processes, and trapped capital.
Tokenization only matters when the asset is rebuilt to function digitally, not simply repackaged.
@particula_io B+ pre-issuance assessment validates both the credit structure and the Canton-based infrastructure behind it.
This is private credit moving onto institutional rails.

@LongViewCrypto @CantonNetwork Digital Asset / Canton have been involved in several BIS projects over the years, notably the precursor to Agora, Project Promissa. The use cases are very well suited for Canton.
English
so this came out from the BIS and i started highlighting why i believe it is the @CantonNetwork and realized the exercise was futile. and before someone tells me $CC is not ISO compliant, no CantonNetwork is! $CC is a gas token, similar to $ETH

I'm excited to share that @UpholdInc is now integrated with @CantonNetwork. As part of the Uphold Institutional team, this one feels significant! Canton isn't just another blockchain. It's the infrastructure that DTCC, J.P. Morgan, Euroclear and some of the world's most systemically important financial institutions have chosen as their blockchain rail. canton-network:native
