Canton Pulse

Welcome to the Collateral Subcommittee, @trize_io. Cross-application collateral mobility and tokenized repo are two of the harder problems in bringing institutional finance on-chain. Good to see builders contributing to that work alongside DTCC, ISDA, BNY, Euroclear, and Broadridge.

Moving money and converting it into a yield product doesn't typically happen in real time today. Canton settles in real time, letting companies convert billions in balance-sheet cash into a money market fund, worth roughly $35M in EBITDA per billion.

On Canton, a tokenized Treasury can serve as collateral while application logic executes on a connected chain, both settling atomically. Zenith extends that connectivity to Ethereum's developer ecosystem, including DTC-custodied securities already trading in production.

AI agents are becoming real economic participants on Canton. @FTPWhatsoever is implementing x402, the HTTP-native payment standard now governed by the Linux Foundation, directly on @CantonNetwork. With an Agentic Wallet built to get AI agents transacting quickly and a straightforward merchant integration path.

Production is already running on Canton. @Grofty_Labs breaks down what's shipping.

Composability is what turns a static asset into usable collateral. On Canton, connecting an asset to a lending service doesn't require rebuilding legal agreements from scratch. @YuvalRooz discusses on @Stabledash what that does to the borrowing market.

One emoji that describes how you feel about Canton right now. We'll start: 😎

Compliance infrastructure is landing across the Canton ecosystem. @PixelPlexinc has built @Intercepta_ and integrated it into CC View and @ConsoleWallet, bringing sanctions screening, risk monitoring, and fund-flow tracing to the applications institutions already use on Canton.

What's a recent update within the @CantonNetwork ecosystem that stood out to you and why?

On Canton, the rails are new infrastructure, but "build it and they will come" doesn't work the same way for adoption. @YuvalRooz discusses with @HenriArslanian why institutions will come onchain through interfaces that integrate with existing systems.

Visa's CIP-0109 approval makes it a Canton Foundation general member and Super Validator. DTCC has completed production activity on tokenized securities, with Canton as one of the networks used. Full breakdown from @GoldisinMyVienz.

CIP-116 shifted Featured App designation to an onchain threshold. Apps must lock $CC to qualify. ✅ 5 million for non-issuers ✅ 25 million for asset issuers Learn more:

A measure of adoption: monthly activity doubling or quadrupling every couple years. Broadridge's repo platform did that, from $1.5T to $7-9T a month in two years. @YuvalRooz discusses with @stabledash what that may look like in two to three years.

On September 28, Georg Schneider, Digital Asset's Global Head of RWA, speaks at @Block_stories Horizon's Zurich Summit, co-hosted with @ZKB_ch. His session covers real-time treasury management and the advent of tokenized MMFs. Request to join.

Coming up: Seoul 🇰🇷 Canton Foundation team members are heading to Korea Blockchain Week, September 28 – October 2, with appearances across RealFi x Asia Stablecoin Conference, Bridge Seoul, CIS Seoul, and the STO Summit. A week of sessions and conversations on institutional adoption and the infrastructure regulated markets are building on. Bookmark this post, and come find us on the ground.

.@trize_io has joined the @CantonFdn's Collateral Subcommittee, chaired by @The_DTCC. The subcommittee brings together leading financial institutions, market infrastructures and industry bodies to set the legal, data and technical standards for tokenized collateral on @CantonNetwork, the settlement layer now supporting trillions in monthly institutional volume. T-RIZE will contribute to two core workstreams: Cross-Application Collateral Mobility and Tokenized Repo & Financing, bringing a North American capital markets perspective. We are proud to be part of this work alongside the DTCC, @ISDA , @BNYglobal, @EuroclearGroup, @Broadridge and more. #CantonNetwork #Tokenization #Collateral

Every rule change on Canton, from Featured App requirements to protocol upgrades, starts as a CIP, a Canton Improvement Proposal. Anyone can author one and submit it to the public repository, where it's reviewed openly before it can advance. Every proposal, approved or not, stays in the repository.

Privacy matters.

Coordinating a shared network at scale requires more than one governing body. @CantonFdn's committee structure splits that work by function across tokenomics, technical development, and accountability for the institutions running it. @Cantor8 breaks down how it's structured.

Traditional settlement already works simply. Tokenized equities haven't matched that simplicity, leaving institutional adoption in its early stage. @YuvalRooz discusses why closing that gap doesn't need a large leap, just visible growth from a small base.

Hacken and @NODERS_TEAM will run their AI Auditor live, September 29, on a real Daml smart contract, part of HackCanton Season 3 with @AppsFactory_cc. For builders on Canton, it's a chance to see how the system flags Daml-specific risks. Learn more:
