Temple is the first native trading platform on Canton Network, bringing real capital markets trading directly onto the network.

The platform runs a central limit order book (CLOB) similar to traditional exchanges, where buyers and sellers place orders and trades are matched automatically based on price and time priority.

Trades settle on Canton with atomic settlement, meaning assets move instantly between parties once a trade is executed. At the same time, transaction details remain private.

Here are a few things Temple brings to Canton:

  • Best execution trading with MEV-resistant order flow, which helps prevent unfair trade manipulation
  • Native compliance, allowing users to trade only with verified counterparties
  • Deep liquidity supported by market makers
  • Non-custodial infrastructure, so users keep full control of their assets
  • Developer APIs that allow teams to build trading tools, automation, or AI agents

Temple also has Lightspeed, a trading engine designed to deliver sub-second order matching while keeping settlement on Canton.

This is the kind of infrastructure that allows real capital markets to operate on-chain while maintaining privacy, compliance, and institutional standards.
