# Console adds individual balances for Canton network fees

**By [CantonNews](https://cantonnews.org/author/cantonnews), Editorial Team** · Published 20 September 2026 · TECHNOLOGY, ECOSYSTEM

> Console users can now fund their own Canton traffic fees with CC or top up another participant's balance. The feature gives each account a separate way to cover its network usage.

Console has launched [individual traffic-fee balances for Canton participants](https://forum.canton.network/t/each-party-pays-its-own-traffic-fees/9148). Users can add Canton Coin to cover their own network usage or fund another participant's balance.

Traffic fees cover the data processed through Canton's shared infrastructure and are charged per kilobyte. When multiple participants use the same node, those costs can fall to the operator unless there is a way to charge them separately. Console's new balances let individual participants fund their own usage.

The [traffic-balance page](https://consolewallet.io/traffic-topup) lets users connect Console Wallet, view the balance associated with their Canton account and top it up with CC. The launch also supports paying into someone else's balance, allowing one participant to cover another's traffic costs.

Transactions are signed in the wallet extension, and the top-up page does not receive the user's private keys.

[New Console accounts](https://consolewallet.io/user) currently require an invitation code. Users without one can request access through the wallet or join the website's registration queue.
