Shaul Kfir, co-founder of Digital Asset, has outlined a significant upcoming change to Canton Network's economic model: every synchronizer on the network will soon burn Canton Coin and generate validator rewards, not just the Global Synchronizer.
A formal CIP draft is expected in September, with a phased rollout targeted across the first half of 2027.
Today, validators only burn CC and earn rewards when operating through the Global Synchronizer. Institutions and infrastructure providers running dedicated synchronizers sit outside that economic model. The upcoming proposal would bring all synchronizers into the same fee and reward structure, with burn scaling with the volume and throughput routed through each synchronizer rather than applying a flat cost. Existing private synchronizers already in production are expected to migrate to the new model once the incentives are in place.
The change does not affect the minting schedule. What it does is expand where burning occurs across the network, meaning total burn would grow as more synchronizers come online and usage scales, without adding to emissions.
