Cashen

Cashen is a Canton Coin locking marketplace for institutional participants. Suppliers provide CC locks for Featured Apps and Super Validators under bilateral agreements, rather than depositing into a shared lending pool.

• Compare CC supply offers and lock requests.
• Agree the APR, duration and recall terms before a deal.
• Track listings, proposals and active arrangements.
• Use a dedicated institutional onboarding process.

Cashen is built around Canton Coin locks and the requirements applied to Featured Apps and Super Validators. The product connects the suppliers of CC with the participants seeking those locks.

The marketplace matches CC suppliers with counterparties seeking locks for Canton network requirements. Each deal has agreed terms, including the amount, fixed APR, minimum lock period, recall notice and breach rate.

For CC suppliers

After onboarding, suppliers can post an offer or respond to a lock request. Cashen describes the arrangement as delegated locking: the supplier retains custody of the CC while the counterparty uses the lock. Recall conditions depend on the minimum duration, notice period and deal agreement.

For applications and validators

Featured Apps and Super Validators can request locked CC and review supplier proposals. Cashen supports substitution when a supplier recalls a deal; the relevant Canton programme rules still determine the network requirement.

Interest and fees

The current website says interest accrues per Canton round and is settled monthly through off-platform invoicing. Cashen charges suppliers 10% of realized interest. Fully onchain settlement is described as a later phase.

Access

Participation is restricted to institutions. Onboarding includes KYB review and a Network Participation Agreement. The negotiated contract governs recall, payment and breach terms.
