Canton operates a two-tier validator model. Super Validators, including @The_DTCC, @Visa, @Circle, @Nasdaq, and @Chainlink, govern the network. They vote on CIPs, run Global Synchronizer infrastructure, and hold governance weight based on long-term commitment. Becoming an SV requires a CIP and a two‑thirds supermajority vote. Validators operate the network. There are 7895+ onboarded via the Tokenomics Working Group. They operate participant nodes, process transactions, and earn rewards for keeping the network live. SVs set the rules; Validators execute them. Both are essential, and neither controls the other. Keeping governance and operations distributed across independent entities.

CIP-0116 has been approved: Featured App Locking. Featured Applications on @CantonNetwork now require CC locking to qualify for and maintain their designation. Non-issuer apps: 5,000,000 CC locked per PartyId Asset issuer apps: 25,000,000 CC locked per PartyId Why this matters: Featured App status previously relied on Foundation governance alone. CIP-0116 shifts the process toward objective, on-chain criteria. Applications that want to earn rewards must demonstrate committed capital, not just submitted paperwork. Existing Featured Apps have 30 days to meet the new requirements. If locking falls below threshold, FA status is immediately removed. SVs are required to execute unfeaturing within 30 minutes of a vote. 60-day unlock period. No exceptions. The design ensures alignment between apps earning rewards and apps with real skin in the game. Approved May 20, 2026.

Tomorrow’s going to be a great day.

Thank you, @DonaldJTrumpJr and the @worldlibertyfi team, for an incredible meeting and helping Make America Crypto Again! 😉

@unknowDLT CANTON NETWORK also... 😎😎

The DTCC will need to use XRP this year if it wants to be fully operational with tokenized securities by October.

@C_Capitalist Η ζημιά έχει ήδη γίνει με το πετρελαιο κλπ.. Θα φανεί σαν κυμα το επόμενο διάστημα και θα μας συντροφευει για καιρό σε τιμές στα ράφια, στους ρυθμούς παραγωγης κλπ...

🚨 ΕΚΤΑΚΤΟ: Οι ΗΠΑ και το Ιράν φαίνεται να πλησιάζουν σε συμφωνία για παράταση της εκεχειρίας κατά 60 ημέρες και για ένα πλαίσιο συνομιλιών γύρω από το πυρηνικό πρόγραμμα του Ιράν, σύμφωνα με μεσολαβητές. Λεπτομέρειες που αναφέρονται: 1. «Σταδιακό άνοιγμα» των Στενών του Ορμούζ. 2. Δέσμευση για συζητήσεις σχετικά με «αραίωση ή παράδοση» του υψηλά εμπλουτισμένου ουρανίου του Ιράν. 3. Οι ΗΠΑ θα χαλαρώσουν την πίεση/αποκλεισμό γύρω από τα Στενά και θα προχωρήσουν σε μερική άρση κυρώσεων. 4. Οι ΗΠΑ θα ξεκινήσουν σταδιακή αποδέσμευση (unfreezing) ιρανικών περιουσιακών στοιχείων. Οι δύο πλευρές φέρονται να βρίσκονται κοντά σε ένα «μνημόνιο κατανόησης» για την παράταση της εκεχειρίας.

🚨 These Past 24 Hours Have Completely Shaped Ripple/XRPL’s Direction In The New Global Financial System President Trump ordered US government to update regulations to integrate crypto into traditional finance and payment systems. The Federal Reserve released a press release today that it wants to allow qualified fintech and crypto firms into its payment system. JP Morgan settled the first-ever transaction connecting XRP Ledger with Interbank Settlement. 200,000,000 RLUSD minted at RLUSD Treasury today. Japan yesterday announced that it will recognize foreign crypto stablecoins as legal payment methods starting June 1. And remember what Brad said: “All Roads Lead Back To Ripple’s North Star, XRP.”

"If RLUSD does what XRP was supposed to do, why still need XRP?" We get some version of this question constantly. Two different functions. Both grow as on-chain finance grows.

XRP 🤝 The Architect (Real Story) August 25, 1988. A college student in Houston sat down and filed a patent. Not a school project. Not a class assignment. A United States patent. Patent US5025369A. A multilevel distributed computer system — a network of computers that function independently of but in cooperative manner with each other. He was 20 years old. He hadn't graduated yet. The patent was granted in 1991. Nobody noticed. The word blockchain didn't exist yet. The internet wasn't public yet. Bitcoin was seventeen years away. He graduated from the University of Houston with a degree in Electrical Engineering. Then he went to work. He built encrypted cloud storage systems. He built secure enterprise messaging infrastructure. For CNN. And for the National Security Agency. The most powerful surveillance apparatus on earth trusted him with their secrets. He spent years inside the machine. Learning exactly how it worked. Learning exactly what it protected. Learning exactly what it feared. In 1992 he co-founded a medical device company with his father. In 2004 he was already working on something that looked like Bitcoin. He would later testify to this in court. Under oath. Five years before Satoshi published the whitepaper. In 2011 he met Jed McCaleb. McCaleb had built eDonkey — one of the first peer to peer file sharing networks. Then Mt. Gox. He understood how value moved between strangers who didn't trust each other. Together with Arthur Britto they started building something different. Not a currency. Not a speculation vehicle. Not a store of value for people who distrusted governments. Infrastructure. Neutral rails. No mining. No energy waste. 3-5 second settlement. Fraction of a cent. Built for the institutions. Built for the banks. Built for the world that already existed — And for the one that was coming. He joined Ripple as Chief Cryptographer. Along the way he built an online persona. He named it after a cartoon cat. Named after Stimpy from Ren and Stimpy. The most serious cryptographer in the space named himself after an animated housecat. His blog subtitle read: "Democracy is vulnerable to a 51% attack." He never needed to explain it. The people who understood it already knew. The people who didn't weren't the audience. For fourteen years he built. Through the SEC lawsuit. Through the legal battles. Through the years when nobody was sure it would survive. He stayed. In 2025 he stepped back. His words: "One of the greatest honors and experiences of my life." He didn't leave. He joined the board. CTO Emeritus. The work wasn't finished. But his daily chapter was. Here is what he built: A ledger that Goldman Sachs filed $153 million exposure to under federal oath. A ledger that Mastercard settled tokenized US Treasuries on in under 5 seconds. A ledger that DTCC named by name in a patent covering post-trade settlement for $114 trillion in custody. A ledger that the SEC classified as a digital commodity. A ledger with no flag. No clawback. No kill switch. He didn't disappear. On May 11 2026 the XRP Ledger Foundation announced he had joined as Honorary Board Member. The man who built encryption for the NSA built the one thing the NSA cannot freeze. He saw what the machine was. Then he built the door out of it. His name is @JoelKatz And in 1988 — before any of us knew we needed it — He was already building the answer. ISO Ledger 🛡️

@swiftcommunity Tell us about the stress test of Linea(L2 etherium)🤣🤣🤣....and then let's talk about Ripple

At the Digital Banking Conference in Barcelona last week, our Chief Product Officer Thomas Delaet shared that most cross-border payments already arrive in minutes. But speed alone is no longer enough. Meanwhile, the industry continues to debate “old vs new”, correspondent banking vs blockchain, digital assets vs fiat currencies – the future isn’t about choosing one over the other. It’s about combining the scale, trust, and resilience of existing infrastructure with the programmability and 24/7 capabilities of new technologies. What matters most? Not the rail a payment runs on but that it works. Fast, predictably, and seamlessly. The direction is clear: a multi-rail, interoperable ecosystem, built for a more complex, connected world. #Payments #Tokenisation #DigitalAssets #CrossBorder #BankingInnovation

@DegenClubGR Clarity act νομοσχέδιο στις 14/5 .. Εάν κ εφόσον περάσει είναι μεγάλος ρυθμιστής... Όλα τα αλλά είναι noise για την ώρα...

"Stairs up...?" 😅 Big week. (Λίγη προσοχή σε κλεισίματα κάτω από 79.5-80Κ)

@Mastercard @OndoFinance @jpmorgan @Ripple It's time for the curtains to fall.....

Today, Mastercard, @OndoFinance, Kinexys by @JPMorgan, and @Ripple successfully completed a landmark transaction connecting a public blockchain with interbank settlement rails. Together, we’re laying the groundwork for 24/7 global markets that never close.

J.P Morgan recently revealed its utilization of the XRPL.✅ Up next? 🙇‍♂️ Goldman Sachs and Citi.😏💨

@SMQKEDQG Sings were always there.. 😎😎

New Ripple video features Ondo Finance’s tokenization illustration showing the XRP Ledger connected to BlackRock’s BUIDL fund, Franklin Templeton’s BENJI fund, Goldman Sachs, Citi, and J.P. Morgan.✅ Watch.😶‍🌫️👇

The embalming of Europe continues. Sad, really.

Ripple is now being ranked alongside giants like OpenAI, SpaceX, and stripe in the Prime Unicorn Index. Being the only blockchain-based payments infrastructure in the top 10 speaks volumes about the institutional shift we are seeing in 2026. This is enterprise utility in action.

AMINA is now the first regulated bank to support custody and trading for Canton. ↓ More details.
