The Canton Network is a privacy-enabled public blockchain built to connect institutional finance to the benefits of decentralization without sacrificing necessary privacy, control, or compliance. It was developed by Digital Asset and is backed by a consortium of major institutions, including Goldman Sachs, Microsoft, and Deutsche Börse. Its core purpose is to modernize global post-trade processes and provide a compliant settlement layer for tokenized institutional assets. The network is already handling significant volume, securing over $6 trillion in tokenized assets.
