Canton has approved a new batch of 17 validator operators as the network continues expanding its operator pipeline.

The [Tokenomics announcement](https://lists.sync.global/g/tokenomics-announce/message/373) names Bulls Eye Technologies, Cantield Labs, CFi Solutions, Crosslynx Technologies, CRX, Decenter R&D, fromjava, Klariq Technologies, Lithium Digital, Old Block Ventures, P2P Company, RAW Protocol, SEA CAPITAL, Skopino, Solido Money, STAKR.space and Zephr Technologies.

The approvals allow these operators to continue through the relevant validator process. They should not be read as confirmation that every operator is already running a live MainNet node.

A separate [Super Validator announcement](https://lists.sync.global/g/supervalidator-announce/message/586) records new MainNet allocation entries across 22 organizations, with 26 entries in total. The list includes organizations such as Anchorage Digital, RBC CM LLC, Certora, SatsTerminal and Transcend Street.

Some organizations appear more than once in the allocation list, including CC Reward Shop, Lithium Digital, Palladium Labs and Quorvia. The allocation notice and validator-operator approvals are separate governance actions, covering different parts of Canton’s network infrastructure and participation process.

Together, the updates show Canton widening both the group of operators preparing to support the network and the organizations receiving MainNet allocations.
