Canton Network is a layer-1 smart contract blockchain designed to bridge the gap between traditional finance (TradFi) institutions and decentralized technology. It introduces a unique architecture enabling regulated entities to participate in decentralized ecosystems while maintaining compliance, privacy, and interoperability. The network represents a major step toward the large-scale adoption of real-world assets (RWAs) and institutional DeFi solutions.

Canton Network leverages a two-tier consensus mechanism that allows for unlimited horizontal scalability while ensuring full smart contract interoperability across applications and participants. This architecture enables different applications and institutions to connect seamlessly while maintaining their own configurable privacy and governance controls.

At the core of the system is the Global Synchronizer — the network’s backbone that ensures coherence and coordination across the entire ecosystem. It enables synchronized execution and settlement of smart contracts, facilitating secure interaction between previously siloed financial systems.

Canton Coin (CC) is the native utility token of the Canton Network. It powers the ecosystem by serving as the medium for application and infrastructure fees on the Global Synchronizer and as an incentive mechanism for network participants. The token operates under a fair and transparent distribution model — there was no pre-mine or pre-sale. All CC are earned through active contribution and utility provided to the network.

• Super Validator Rewards: Earned by entities operating the Global Synchronizer, ensuring network security and synchronization.
• Validator Rewards: Distributed to full node operators who provide access and verification services.
• Application Rewards: Granted to developers and service providers who contribute useful applications and infrastructure to the ecosystem.

Rewards are determined by a set mining curve featuring programmed halvings and distribution splits across the three reward categories. To maintain a sustainable economic model, all transaction fees are burned via a process known as Burn Mint Equilibrium (BME), promoting efficient price discovery based on network utility rather than speculative issuance.

The Canton Coin MainNet launched in July 2024 alongside the Global Synchronizer. As of February 2025, approximately 22 billion CC are in circulation. The total minable supply over the network’s first ten years is capped at around 100 billion CC. After that, a constant emission of 2.5 billion CC per year continues to reward active participants. The overall supply at any time is dynamically adjusted based on the amount of CC burned through transaction fees.

The Canton Network is governed by the Global Synchronizer Foundation, managed under the Linux Foundation. Its membership spans major financial institutions, technology providers, and blockchain innovators, underscoring its credibility and cross-industry focus. Founding members include:

• 7Ridge
• Bitwave
• Broadridge
• Calastone
• Cumberland
• Digital Asset
• Equilend
• Euroclear
• Global Blockchain Business Council
• IntellectEU
• Kaleido
• LendOS
• Liberty City Ventures
• MPCH
• Obsidian Systems
• SBI Digital Asset Holdings
• Taurus

The Canton protocol and its smart contract language, Daml, were developed by Digital Asset, a leading enterprise blockchain company founded by a team of financial and cryptographic experts:

• Don Wilson — Founder & CEO of DRW
• Yuval Rooz — ex-Citadel, ex-DRW, Founder DRW VC
• Eric Saraniecki — ex-DRW, Co-founder of Cumberland
• Shaul Kfir — Co-author of libsnark, Co-founder of Bits of Gold

The Canton Network represents a new paradigm in blockchain infrastructure — one where institutions can leverage decentralized systems without sacrificing compliance, scalability, or privacy. By integrating an interoperable smart contract layer with a dynamic, utility-based token economy, Canton positions itself as a foundation for the next generation of regulated blockchain applications and real-world asset tokenization.
