Institutional Canton Infrastructure

Network of networks

Canton links many ledgers and applications into one interoperable network, coordinated through synchronization domains and a Global Synchronizer.

Privacy by design

Parties only see the contracts and fields they are entitled to, supporting “need‑to‑know” data sharing for regulated markets.

Atomic settlement

Assets, cash, and reference data can move across multiple applications as a single transaction, reducing settlement and reconciliation risk.

Daml smart contracts

Business logic and permissions are encoded directly in Daml, making workflows and access rules explicit and auditable.

Institutional infrastructure

Validators, wallets, and operational controls must meet regulatory‑grade uptime, security, and governance expectations.

Super Validator

Super Validators maintain neutral, transparent, and fair governance within Canton.
