Canton Network

Hydra X has launched HX Gateway API, giving financial institutions and developers a standard REST path to build on Canton Network. Built on production experience operating on Canton through Digital Asset's DA Registry, HX Gateway delivers up to an 80% acceleration in go-to-market timelines and a 50% reduction in deployment time. It's available as a hosted service or external deployment for institutions with existing validator infrastructure. Read the full announcement: https://lnkd.in/eznn4PEH

Today marks a major milestone for both Five North and the Canton Network ecosystem. We're proud to announce that Loop Wallet is now fully multi-party-hosted. Loop is now the first and only wallet on Canton where every participant is simultaneously onboarded across Five North and two independent co-validator nodes. This isn't just another infrastructure upgrade. It fundamentally changes the trust model. 🔒 No single point of failure. 🤝 No single point of trust. 🏗️ A structural security guarantee built directly into the network architecture. This achievement was made possible through our collaboration with @MPCH and Digital Asset, whose teams worked alongside ours to design and deploy this architecture. Thank you to everyone involved for helping make this possible. Transparency matters. That's why anyone can verify a multi-party-hosted participant on-chain through Lighthouse: https://lnkd.in/eCubRvjJ This milestone reflects our commitment to building secure, resilient, and institutional-grade infrastructure for the Canton ecosystem. A huge thank you to the entire Five North team for the dedication and engineering excellence that made this possible. And we're just getting started, there's more to share this week. 👀 #CantonNetwork #Blockchain #DigitalAssets #Infrastructure #Security #Web3 #Tokenization #FiveNorth #LoopWallet

Last week DTCC ran real US trades on tokenized assets: repo, equity settlement, collateral pledges, CCP margin. Its largest tokenization production initiative to date, all on Canton Network. Every one of those is a Daml contract call. Most wallet infrastructure can custody a Canton asset but can't execute the contracts where institutional workflows live. Fireblocks does both, which is why it was among the participating firms. How Fireblocks supports regulated finance on Canton (link in comments).

Building on the Canton Network should not require every institution to start from scratch. Today, Hydra X is launching HX Gateway API, a REST API layer designed to help financial institutions and developers move from decision to deployment more quickly. Built on the same infrastructure we operate in production for regulated clients, HX Gateway API maps directly to familiar workflows including participant onboarding, asset issuance and management, and transfers, without requiring specialised expertise in Daml. Our own experience tokenising more than US$100 million in assets on Canton Network through DA Registry informed the design of the API. The result is a shorter path to production, with go-to-market timelines reduced by up to 80% and deployment time by 50%. Tokenised markets are moving from pilots to production. The institutions that deploy on Canton reliably, at scale, are the ones setting the pace. Full release in the comments. #Tokenisation #CantonNetwork #DigitalSecurities

Continuing the Canton Onboarding Package series. Part 4. Custom Implementation. How to make sure your Canton Network application doesn't stall somewhere between a working demo and a production deployment? We have brought real use cases to production for teams like Temple Digital Group, Ubyx Inc., M1, and others. From workflow design and smart contract architecture to Daml engineering, Canton integration, and application packaging, then distribution through CatalyX Package Manager. Have an application idea to bring to Canton? Let's build it. 👇

Arqitech, Inc., MPCH, PixelPlex, and sFOX have completed live non-custodial cross-chain atomic swaps on Canton, exchanging Canton Coin for USDC while each institution retained full control of its own signing keys. Under Arqitech's Atomic Swap Protocol, participants sign transactions themselves, whether through institutional platforms like DFNS and Fireblocks or their own private nodes, with validator nodes only preparing and submitting already-signed transactions. This keeps custody exclusively with the institution at every stage. The deployment builds on Arqitech's collaboration with Digital Asset on Canton Token Standard V2 (CIP-0112), approved by the Canton Foundation in June 2026, and will open to customers in the coming weeks.

Connectivity determines whether digital markets scale. When applications rely on external bridges and isolated state transitions, coordination becomes fragile and fragmented. On Canton, applications coordinate through synchronized execution within a shared protocol layer. This architecture allows independent applications to interact within a shared execution framework without sacrificing autonomy. Network value increases when coordination happens at the protocol layer itself. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eyxwrGnZ

Shinhan Financial Group Co., Ltd. and SC Ventures by Standard Chartered are the latest additions to Digital Asset's investor base, extending Canton's institutional network across South Korea and global banking. The new participation comes as more financial institutions explore how shared, privacy-enabled blockchain infrastructure can reduce friction, improve capital efficiency, and support new models for tokenization, collateral mobility, settlement, payments, and other regulated financial workflows.
