Milestone 2 is one of the most important steps in @ZenithFdn's journey, to bring EVM execution to Canton.
And understanding why it matters is beyond just saying Canton is now EVM compatible.
The real breakthrough is the atomic composability.
Zenith is building an EVM execution layer for Canton, allowing Solidity developers to use familiar Eth tools while still benefiting from Canton’s privacy.
But the bigger question was;
Can EVM applications and Canton-native applications actually interact as one system?
Milestone 2 answers that with a yes.
With the primitive, Daml contracts can interact directly with Solidity contracts on Zenith, allowing both sides to participate in the same workflow.
The important part is both sides can settle together under Canton’s consensus and finality.
>> No traditional bridge.
>> No separate settlement layer.
>> No waiting for assets to move between isolated networks.
This is where things become much bigger for Canton.
Canton already has institutional assets, and RW financial infrastructure.
Zenith adds a familiar execution environment for the massive EVM developer ecosystem.
That means developers can bring Solidity applications into Canton while institutions can interact with DeFi applications
And for DeFi, this could be even be more significant.
Different components can compose atomically instead of relying on bridges to connect fragmented ecosystems.
That creates a much more interesting design space:
This is the idea behind Zenith’s AllFi vision.
Milestone 1 showed that EVM execution could work with Canton.
Milestone 2 showed that the two environments can actually compose at the protocol level.
Canton doesn't just get another EVM environment.
It gets access to a much broader developer ecosystem and a new layer of programmability.
It gets a potential path to real institutional assets and capital without depending on traditional bridge architecture.
That is why the EVM-to-Canton connection matters.
The goal isn't to make Canton look more like Ethereum.
It's to combine what both ecosystems do best.
Institutional-grade settlement from Canton.
EVM programmability from Zenith.
Atomic composability connecting them.
That is the foundation for AllFi.
