Cancore is now live for everyone.
Built as a settlement layer between Canton Network and public blockchains, Cancore gives users a way to swap assets without handing custody to a third party, relying on wrapped tokens, or moving through relay networks.
The idea is simple: two parties lock assets, the swap settles atomically, and either both sides complete or both sides can recover their funds. No one should be able to take the other side of the trade without giving up their own.
That matters for Canton because liquidity does not live in one place. Canton is built for privacy-preserving, institution-grade settlement, while public chains carry deep liquidity and broad market access. Cancore connects those worlds without forcing Canton-native workflows to become something they are not.
Through Cancore, users can create and accept swap orders, move between Canton assets and public-chain tokens, connect MetaMask for EVM-side transactions, and use refund paths if a swap expires before completion. Canton-side flows are handled through the platform, while public-chain actions are confirmed through the user’s wallet.
The launch also keeps the product focused on what matters most: settlement, not custody. Cancore is not asking users to deposit into a bridge, wait for a wrapped version of an asset, or trust a middle layer to relay value. It is built around direct, peer-to-peer atomic swaps.
For the Canton ecosystem, public access is the important step. Cancore is now a live route for users who want Canton settlement with access to public-chain liquidity.
Cancore is open. The settlement layer is live.
