Temple Digital Group

The premier native trading experience on the Canton Network.

Temple Digital Group is the most sophisticated native trading platform on the Canton Network, offering users and institutions access to deep markets across all available token pairs. As one of the fastest-growing platforms on Canton — processing approximately 20% of all network traffic on the Global Synchronizer — Temple has established itself as a cornerstone of the Canton DeFi ecosystem.

Background

Temple has been building on Canton since mid-2025. In under a year of development, the platform has grown to process roughly 20% of all traffic on Canton's Global Synchronizer, making it one of the most active applications on the network. Temple is also a member of the Canton Foundation, the Tech & Ops Committee, and the Dev Grants Committee — reflecting a deep, long-term commitment to the health of the ecosystem.

Key Benefits

Temple provides the widest range of markets and assets available natively on Canton, with the deepest liquidity across all active pairs. Beyond trading, Temple distributes a portion of the $CC it earns through its Featured Application status directly back to its most active users.

  • Deepest native liquidity on Canton across all available pairs
  • Widest range of markets and assets on the network
  • $CC rewards distributed to top users from Featured App earnings
  • Institutional Vaults for yield generation (coming Q2)
  • Extensive cross-network bridging (in development)
  • Private access to external blockchain markets via asset virtualization (planned)

Why Canton

Canton's technical architecture opens a new category for digital assets that need to support regulated systems and environments. The network natively supports both cryptocurrencies and assets issued by regulated, centralized entities. Critically, Canton's privacy model is unique — enabling a broader range of use cases that are structurally impossible on existing public networks.

What Makes It Unique

Temple is the most complex and sophisticated native DAML application ever built on Canton. The team invested almost a year of intensive in-house research to push the boundaries of what the network can do — achieving superior functionality, speed, and performance. Temple is also deeply embedded in Canton governance, participating in the Canton Foundation, Tech & Ops Committee, and Dev Grants Committee.

What's Included

Temple Trading

Temple provides a native Canton trading venue for spot markets, liquidity, and professional trading workflows.

Lightspeed Engine

Lightspeed is now live, bringing the speed of a traditional exchange together with decentralized composability and Canton-native privacy. The upgrade strengthens Temple’s orderbook performance and makes the trading experience more familiar to active market participants.

Assets and Rewards

Temple supports Canton-native assets including Canton Coin, stablecoins, and CBTC, with trading activity, leaderboard rewards, and settled-transaction incentives forming part of the platform’s user activity layer.

Impact

Temple is one of Canton’s most important native trading venues because it gives assets a place to find liquidity and price discovery without leaving the network. With Lightspeed live, Temple now has a stronger performance story for active traders, institutions, and market makers building on Canton.

Yields & Earning Opportunities

Temple distributes $CC rewards to its most active traders as part of its Featured App incentive program. Leaderboard rewards and vault-based $CC yield opportunities are on the near-term roadmap.

Active Campaigns & Incentives

Trade and Earn $CC: Active users earn $CC rewards through trading activity. Leaderboard-based rewards and vault deposit incentives are coming soon. Follow Temple on X and Telegram for program details.

Looking Ahead

The next stage is deeper Lightspeed adoption, more supported pairs, stronger wallet integrations, API-led market access, and continued expansion of liquidity, leaderboard rewards, and settled-transaction incentives.
