An October 20 deadline is the first thing for Alpend users to check in this Canton update. Canborsa has also introduced a lending prototype, while changes elsewhere make it easier to monitor the network, read prediction markets and find projects. Here are six developments, with the context needed to understand what has changed.
Today at a glance
- Alpend: October 20 is the deadline for migrations and Ascent I claims.
- Canborsa: a lending prototype is being tested on DevNet, not MainNet.
- CC Space: a renewed Featured App application sets out early usage.
- Splice: version 0.9.1 advances on the development network.
- Unhedged: Bahasa Indonesia is now available across the platform.
- CCTools: its directory maps more than 500 ecosystem entries.
Deadlines and markets
Alpend users have two separate actions to check. Alpend’s October 20 reminder covers both position migration and Ascent I reward claims. After the deadline, migrations close and unclaimed rewards are forfeited.
Claiming rewards and migrating a position are separate actions. The current rewards guide confirms that an Ascent I allocation can be claimed independently. Migrating an older position activates its eligibility for Ascent II rewards. Completing one does not mean both are done.
The distinction follows Alpend’s September protocol upgrade. Existing users can check for a migration prompt and any unclaimed allocation in the official app. For a position still on the older version, migration is a single transaction through Loop Wallet, without a separate withdrawal and redeposit.
Claiming Ascent I and migrating an older position are independent actions. The October 20 deadline comes from Alpend’s reminder; its rewards guide explains the two actions.
Canborsa tests a new use for CC and CBTC. Canborsa has introduced a lending prototype on Canton DevNet as part of HackCanton. Its market lets suppliers provide USDCx liquidity and borrowers put up CC or CBTC as collateral. Loop Wallet connects users, while shared approval controls govern asset listings and changes to the market’s settings.
That is a different use from Canborsa’s existing CC-backed trading positions. The proposed benefit is access to liquidity while retaining a holding, rather than selling it first. This version runs in Canton’s development environment, so the milestone is a testable lending product, not a MainNet launch.
Network and governance
CC Space renews its Featured App application. ITRocket has submitted a renewed Featured App request for CC Space, covering its Canton explorer, monitoring tools and AI-assisted searches. The application lists 62 registered MainNet users: 51 have set up an alert, and 19 have made an API request. Those groups can overlap.
The figures offer an early view of which tools registered users are trying. Alerts let an operator follow selected activity without repeatedly opening an explorer; the API lets developers bring data into their own software. CantonNews previously covered the service’s expansion to TestNet, alongside its existing MainNet explorer.
Splice 0.9.1 moves through DevNet. The Splice 0.9.1 deployment notice confirms that two-thirds of DevNet’s Super Validator nodes had upgraded, including the Global Synchronizer Foundation’s node. The release is ready for deployment on that development network.
Its release notes list minor date-validation fixes in the Super Validator interface and retain Canton 3.6.1. This is an operator maintenance update rather than a change to everyday wallet features.
Access and discovery
Unhedged adds Indonesian-language support. Unhedged now offers Bahasa Indonesia across its platform, including its prediction markets. The language switch sits at the bottom of each page. Canton Coin is one of the supported deposit options, while trading uses a dollar-denominated platform balance.
Clear market wording matters. The platform’s trading guide explains that winning one map and winning an entire esports series are different outcomes. Indonesian-language support gives readers another way to understand exactly which question a market asks before using it.
CCTools maps 500-plus ecosystem entries. CCTools has highlighted 500-plus listings in its Canton ecosystem directory, spanning applications, institutions and infrastructure at different stages of development.
For someone looking for a wallet, data service or development partner, the useful feature is the route from a listing to the team’s official resources. The CCTools directory and CantonNews’ Featured Projects provide starting points for that research. The listing total describes the breadth of the directory, not a count of live applications.
