The Problem With Understanding Canton Like a Traditional Blockchain

This research examines why understanding Canton through the same assumptions used for traditional public blockchains can lead to a different interpretation of its architecture and purpose. It looks at the requirements of institutional financial markets, including privacy, controlled participation, interoperability, settlement, and governance, and examines whether Canton’s network design and emerging institutional use cases address those requirements in practice.
