Description
Canton Network is a privacy-first, public Layer 1 blockchain designed for institutional finance. Its purpose-built infrastructure connects previously siloed financial systems, enabling the secure and interoperable exchange of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) and data. Canton's unique architecture provides a modular network-of-networks that balances the decentralization of a public blockchain with the privacy, control, and scalability required by regulated financial markets. It allows for programmable, end-to-end privacy at the smart contract level without sacrificing atomic transaction composition. Key use cases include 24/7 on-chain financing, crypto derivatives, and private stablecoin payments. The network's governance and evolution are facilitated by the Global Synchronizer Foundation, ensuring transparent and neutral oversight of its decentralized interoperability backbone.Grant Funding
