Technology
Assets are issued on the network institutions already settle on. Access for Ethereum applications through Zenith is on our roadmap, enabled per mandate.
Why Canton
Canton is a network of networks where each transaction is visible only to the parties involved, and synchronised through the Global Synchronizer.
Transaction details are shared only with the parties to a trade, not broadcast to every node.
Asset and cash legs settle together or not at all, across applications and institutions.
Banks, market infrastructure and asset managers already run nodes and settle on Canton.
Written in Daml, a smart contract language built for financial workflows and rights.
On the network
Members of the Canton Foundation, which governs the network, include global banks and market infrastructure.

Token standard
Our tokens follow CIP-56, the Canton Network token standard. Wallets, custodians and venues that support the standard can hold and transfer them without custom integration.
Ethereum via Zenith · Roadmap
Zenith is an EVM execution layer for Canton Network. It lets Ethereum applications and wallets interact with assets issued on Canton, while ownership and compliance rules stay on Canton. The integration is on our roadmap and will be enabled per mandate once tested.
