Canton is a public network for interoperable privacy-preserving smart contract applications, designed to support confidential multi-party financial workflows without relying on a single globally replicated state.
Canton’s core differentiator is configurable privacy with composability, meaning each participant sees only the part of a transaction it is entitled to access, while applications can still interact atomically.
The network has attracted institutional adoption, including production and announced deployments from Broadridge, DTCC, and J.P. Morgan across repo, collateral, tokenized Treasuries, tokenized bank deposits, and payments infrastructure.
Canton has already delivered meaningful value through privacy-preserving deployments, used at scale by institutions. Now, its 2024-launched public mainnet serves as the foundation for over 150 live or emerging applications, creating the activity base that underpins Canton Coin’s utility and economic relevance.
Governance is exercised by more than 50 Super Validators under a two-thirds supermajority threshold. The Super Validator set spans traditional finance, crypto-native infrastructure, and ecosystem operators, with open membership and governance coordinated by the Canton Foundation.
