Noves Data App
Self-hosted, permission-aware data infrastructure for Canton.
The Noves Data App is self-hosted Canton data infrastructure that classifies, searches, filters, and exports participant-visible ledger activity while keeping private data inside the operator environment.
Background
Noves solves a problem created by one of Canton's biggest strengths. Because Canton is privacy-preserving, participants do not get a universal public explorer for every activity on the network. That is good for confidentiality, but it creates operational work for teams that still need reporting, search, reconciliation, and analytics.
The Noves Data App is built for that reality. It gives participants a way to turn the activity they are allowed to see into standardized, searchable, exportable data without breaking the network's permission boundaries.
Key Benefits
Noves makes private ledger activity operationally usable.
- Self-hosted deployment so sensitive data stays inside the participant's infrastructure
- Classification and labeling of raw Canton ledger activity
- Search, filter, and export tools for finance, operations, and support teams
- Permission-aware design that respects what each participant is allowed to see
- Open-source distribution and API paths for teams that want to build on top
Why Canton
Noves is almost a direct answer to Canton's data model. In a privacy-preserving network, the right analytics tool is not a global crawler. It is a participant-aware system that works from inside the permission boundary.
That makes Canton the reason Noves matters. It helps teams preserve privacy while still getting the operational visibility required for production systems.
What Makes It Unique
Noves does not try to make Canton act like a public chain. Its uniqueness is accepting the privacy model and building analytics around it. The result is data infrastructure that supports reporting without turning private activity into public data.
That distinction is important for validators, app teams, and institutions that need dashboards and exports but cannot compromise confidentiality.
What's Included
Self-hosted Data App
Noves Data App is open-source software for interpreting Canton data and supporting operational and reporting workflows. A self-hosted deployment is distinct from Noves-hosted API services.
Reporting and monitoring
Available tooling supports transaction interpretation, finance/operations exports and monitoring workflows. Coverage depends on the connected data and the permissions of the deployment.
Cloud and public resources
Noves publishes API documentation, the Canton Data App repository and a public ccdata dashboard. A public dashboard does not expose every private transaction on the network.
Official Resources
Behind the Scenes
The design reflects the needs of real operations teams. They need CSV exports, categories, searchable transactions, support-friendly views, and a way to reconcile activity across applications that may not share a common data shape.
Impact
Noves Data App helps teams interpret the Canton data they are authorised to access and use it in reporting and operational workflows.
