# Canton Clarifies Featured App Rewards for Multi-Asset Transactions

**By [CantonNews](https://cantonnews.org/author/cantonnews), Editorial Team** · Published 22 August 2026 · ECOSYSTEM

> Canton’s Tokenomics Committee has clarified how Featured App reward weight is calculated when a transaction includes more than one Featured Asset. Ordinary transactions share the available weight across those assets, while approved delivery-versus-payment venues use a separate calculation when both sides of an exchange settle together.

Canton’s Tokenomics Committee has approved new guidance for transactions that move more than one Featured Asset at the same time.

Canton’s Featured App system uses reward weight to measure qualifying on-chain activity. Each marker counts as $1 of reward weight, but it is not a guaranteed $1 payment. When several assets are part of one transaction, the new guidance explains how that weight should be shared.

For most multi-asset transactions, the available weight is divided between the Featured Assets involved. This applies when several transfers are grouped together for operational reasons. Each asset receives a share instead of every asset recording the full amount.

Delivery-versus-payment trades are handled differently. DvP means both sides of a trade settle together, or neither side does. When Tokenomics approves a venue for DvP treatment, the assets follow a separate calculation because both are needed to complete the trade.

The [official guidance](https://intro.canton.foundation/featured-app-coupon-guidance.html) gives an example involving a $2 transaction and two Featured Assets. In a standard bundled transaction, each asset may record $0.50 of reward weight. In an approved DvP trade, each asset may record $1, while the venue may record $2 for processing the transaction.

DvP treatment is approved through a review process. A venue must explain how its settlement works, what users pay, who can access the product and how it protects against wash trading, bots and reward farming. The Accountability Committee reviews the information before making a recommendation to Tokenomics.

Eligible assets must also follow [CIP-0056](https://github.com/canton-foundation/cips/blob/main/cip-0056/cip-0056.md), Canton’s token standard. They must work with at least two compatible live wallets and be available through at least one on-chain DvP venue.

The updated policy gives asset issuers and trading venues a clearer way to record genuine multi-asset activity while keeping reward weight connected to real transactions.
