The only public blockchain with privacy that works

About us

The Canton Network is the first public, permissionless blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance—uniquely combining privacy, compliance, and scalability. Governed by the Global Synchronizer Foundation with participation from leading global financial institutions, Canton enables real-time, secure synchronization and settlement across multiple asset classes on a shared, interoperable infrastructure. Initially developed by Digital Asset and now open-sourced, Canton supports decentralized governance and collaborative app development. By overcoming the limitations of existing blockchains, it unlocks new efficiencies for regulated institutions and facilitates the convergence between traditional finance and institutional crypto.

  • S&P Dow Jones Indices and Kaiko have tokenized the iBoxx U.S. Treasuries Index on the Canton Network. This marks the first time a major benchmark index is available onchain as a programmable, permissioned data asset, with embedded licensing, distribution, and compliance. The index is not an investable asset. It exists as infrastructure, enabling product issuers to access benchmark data, automate licensing, and integrate index-linked functionality into digital financial products.

    Canton's technology incentivizes the world's institutions to collectively rebuild the financial supply chain. Instead of a monolithic approach, each actor develops its own solutions and interfaces with a standard protocol that is maximally private, secure, and connected. With new technologies and a clear regulatory landscape, organizations are empowered to interact with onchain securities just as easily as DeFi instruments, and are able to connect their own environments to the greater digital asset economy. Temple believes in the vision of Canton Network and as the network's first native trading platform, is positioned at the center of the biggest transformation for capital markets of the 21st century.

    The name "Canton" comes from Switzerland, a federated nation where each city runs its own rules but interoperates under one country. Melvis Langyintuo explains: On Canton Network, every application works the same way. Your own governance. Your own privacy controls. Down to the sub-transaction level. And full native composability with every other application on the network. Most blockchains force a choice: build public and expose everything, or build private and lose interoperability. Canton removes that trade-off entirely!

    Canton Network is interesting for one practical reason: it gives regulated players a way to run real financial workflows on-chain without turning everything into public broadcast data. So what does that unlock once Enzyme Onyx + Myso are native on Canton? 1. Tokenized funds that can span on-chain + off-chain asset classes, natively on Canton With Onyx on Canton, fund managers can deploy and operate tokenized funds inside the network while still running strategies that touch both on-chain assets (e.g., crypto) and off-chain asset classes (e.g., equities, fixed income, T-Bills, real estate). Subscriptions/redemptions, valuation inputs, allocation policies, and fund operations can live in a Canton-native setup, with sensitive portfolio data only visible to the relevant counterparties. 2. Options strategies, calls & puts, natively on Canton With Myso on Canton, institutions can construct, issue, and settle Covered Calls and Cash-Secured Puts inside the Canton environment, using the network’s privacy guarantees and atomic settlement finality. The result is structured derivatives infrastructure that fits how regulated participants need to operate: controlled visibility, controlled counterparties, and on-chain settlement. This is why we’re extending Enzyme to Canton: to make these two workflows native in an institutional-grade on-chain environment.

    Canton Network is the home for onchain capital markets, processing $8T+ in RWAs monthly, $350B in daily U.S. Treasury repo volume, and adopted by 800+ firms. Now, LayerZero connects Canton to every blockchain. Interoperability unlocks Canton to the rest of crypto and sets the stage for all of Canton assets to expand to all blockchains, and vice versa. Institutions can deploy assets and instantly distribute them across 165+ public networks. Smart contract applications and assets can now expand to Canton from over 165+ blockchains. Users can fund primary purchases of Canton-based assets using stablecoins from external public blockchains, tapping Canton's configurable privacy.

We’ve spent the last 8 months working with Canton to ensure a seamless developer and user experience in connecting EVM chains to their unique UTXO architecture, and now we are excited to be the first interoperability protocol deployed to Canton. The Era of Interoperable Institutions Is Here.

    The tokenization conversation has moved past "can we do this" to "what do institutional clients actually need before this goes mainstream." DTCC's head of digital assets maps the real bottlenecks, from privacy to liquidity fragmentation. Nadine Chakar, Managing Director & Global Head of Digital Assets at The Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC): "We can't have one institutional investor with the ability to peek in the wallet of somebody else. That's what attracted us to the Canton Network." "The tokenization process honestly is the easiest part. But what we and the industry are worried about is liquidity." The institutional adoption problem goes beyond technology. Privacy, liquidity fragmentation across L1s and L2s, and the operational reality of running dual systems until full inventory is tokenized.
