Blockchain security firm Hacken has been appointed as an official auditing provider for Canton Network ecosystem, bringing dedicated smart contract and infrastructure security capabilities to an institutional blockchain handling regulated financial workflows.
As an ecosystem auditing provider, Hacken will support financial institutions, tokenized asset issuers, payment providers, and application developers in securing their Canton-based implementations. The scope covers security reviews of Daml smart contracts, application workflows, integration logic, and operational infrastructure.
To support the role, Hacken has built dedicated Daml expertise. Team members have completed Digital Asset certifications including the Daml Contract Developer and Daml Philosophy exams. The firm has also published a security analysis of core Daml design patterns covering propose-accept workflows, multi-party agreement models, delegation mechanics, explicit authorization patterns, asset locking logic, and UTXO-based authority and selective disclosure. The analysis includes verification priorities and implementation risks specific to Daml SDK 3.4.11 deployments on Canton.
Hacken brings over eight years of blockchain security experience and has worked across more than 30 blockchain ecosystems including Ethereum, Solana, Avalanche, Stellar, Hedera, and Base.
The appointment reflects a broader requirement in institutional blockchain development. Canton-based applications frequently involve advanced permissions, privacy-preserving workflows, multi-party coordination, and integration with regulated financial systems, requiring security review that goes beyond standard smart contract auditing.
