CANTON 1.0.11: Pruning without Amnesia

CANTON 1.0.11: Pruning without Amnesia

As blockchains grow, storing every historic transaction creates massive storage costs and state bloat for node operators.

@CantonNetwork native ledger pruning allows participants to safely erase archived contract histories from their local databases once they are no longer active.

Reduced hardware costs. Optimized performance. Zero compromise on future state validity.

My take: I think people often focus on speed when talking about blockchain scalability, but keeping storage costs under control is just as important. Networks that are easier to operate over the long term have a better chance of supporting real-world adoption.
