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.

VeBetter closed Q1 with more than 50 live applications, 5.5 million wallets, and 48 million verified onchain actions. Mugshot and GreenCart each surpassed two million users, establishing the platform’s first two consumer-scale super apps.
VeChain, Rekord, and the University of Sheffield’s AMRC launched production-scale Digital Product Passport (DPP) infrastructure for the EU on Jan. 15, 2026, processing more than 300,000 onchain events by quarter-end. The deployment positions VeChainThor ahead of most public chains for compliance with the EU’s 2027 mandatory DPP regulation.
VeChain confirmed its partnership with Decent Hands, a workplace health and safety platform that integrates blockchain to anchor compliance and safety activities directly on VeChainThor. Safety inspections, equipment checks, facility rounds, and audit-grade reporting are written to the chain as immutable, verifiable records rather than paper logs or siloed databases.
VeBetter Whitepaper 2.0 formalized the platform’s agentic positioning, framing B3TR as the coordination layer between human and AI agent economic activity.
VET’s market cap fell 35.0% QoQ to $581.6 million, and VTHO’s market cap declined 27.4% to $53.0 million on broad market weakness. The quarter included five new exchange listings (VET on Bullish, Coinbase, and Revolut; VTHO on Kraken and Bullish), expanding distribution into major U.S. and European retail and institutional rails.
