CANTON 1.0.19: Explicit Choice Authorization
Imagine someone trying to execute an action on a contract without your approval. Should that ever be possible?
On standard EVM chains, smart contracts often execute complex side effects based on implicit approvals or global state conditions.
@CantonNetwork enforces strict explicit authorization. Every smart contract choice defines exact "signatories" parties whose explicit cryptographic signatures are mandatory before the choice can even be proposed.
Zero unintended contract behavior. Total cryptographic consent across every workflow.
My take: I think this comes down to accountability. If an action requires approval from specific parties, then those parties should explicitly authorize it before anything happens. That reduces the chance of unauthorized actions and makes it clear who approved each step.
