Imagine you've spent months building an application for the Canton Network.
Your product is ready, your team is ready and you're excited to launch.
Then you discover there's one more hurdle.
To become a featured app on Canton, you need to meet the network's governance requirements, including locking a significant amount of Canton CC under CIP-116.
For many projects, especially newer ones, committing millions of CC means locking away capital that could otherwise be used to hire engineers, improve the product, or attract users.
That's the problem @Cashen_cc was built to solve.
Cashen is a bilateral, non-custodial marketplace that connects projects needing locked CC with institutional CC holders willing to delegate their locked CC under agreed terms.
Instead of every project sourcing and locking millions of CC on it's own, Cashen creates an efficient marketplace where that requirement can be fulfilled without unnecessarily tying up a builder's capital.
This makes it much easier for projects to achieve featured app status.
The same idea extends to Super Validators, who also have CC locking requirements.
Cashen gives them another way to access the locked CC they need while maintaining the governance standards that keep the network secured.
Why does this matter?
Because every unnecessary barrier slows innovation.
If builders spend more time raising or locking capital than building products, fewer applications get launched.
Fewer applications mean fewer services for users and slower growth for the network.
Cashen removes much of that bridges.
It helps builders focus on building instead of worrying about where to source millions of CC for compliance.
It helps validators meet governance requirements more efficiently.
And it supports the Canton Network by making participation more accessible while preserving its institutional grade governance model.
For institutional holders, participating through Cashen offers an additional benefit;
They can delegate their locked CC under fixed terms and earn a return while continuing to retain custody of their assets.
But that isn't Cashen's primary mission, it's an incentive that helps supply meet demand.
At it's core, Cashen is about enabling participation.
As more builders gain Featured app status and more validators join the network, the entire ecosystem becomes stronger, and more institutional finance to scale.
the infra that helps institutions participate in Canton more efficiently while accelerating the growth of the ecosystem.
Becoming a futured app on Canton is more easier with Cashen.
