Canton Coin has a fixed emissions schedule: 100 billion CC distributed over 10 years. Emissions are not controlled by a team, a foundation, or a DAO vote. The schedule is encoded into the protocol. CC enters circulation through two channels: validator rewards for operating network infrastructure, and app rewards for Featured Applications generating real transaction activity. 5% of future emissions are directed to the Protocol Development Fund, which finances ecosystem grants, tooling, and infrastructure development. The fund is governed through the Foundation and reported quarterly. As network usage grows, holding fees burn CC, creating the counterweight to emissions. The result is a burn-and-mint equilibrium where token supply is tied to real network activity, not speculative demand. 100 billion CC. 10 years. Transparent, predictable, and governed.

Chainlink’s institutional oracle infrastructure helped markets verify the reserves behind an asset. Today, with @chainlink and @CantonNetwork, @trize_io extends that same verification logic to what protects the asset, introducing onchain proof of insurance for tokenized private credit, beginning with the Kairos Digital Loan Notes programme. This is live and already operational across our private credit offering in the U.S. and Europe. This first-of-its-kind application of institutional oracle infrastructure on Canton creates a verification layer where authorized participants, including institutional allocators, public-sector and government-backed programmes, auditors, and regulators, can independently validate the insurance coverage data tied to a tokenized asset without relying on a counterparty’s word. The significance is structural. If Proof of Reserve verifies that an asset is backed, Proof of Insurance verifies that it is protected. Both are prerequisites for institutional and public capital to move onchain at scale. With Chainlink infrastructure, coverage records are structured, anchored, and independently verifiable, replacing paper-based processes, bilateral confirmations, and fragmented documentation with a single source of verifiable truth. T-RIZE is the structural layer bringing this to production. We onboard assets, institutions, and now public-sector issuers into verifiable-data frameworks on Canton, handling issuance, administration, governance, and integration end to end. Private credit is only the beginning. The same logic extends across insurance-linked structures, reinsurance-backed products, collateralized assets, structured finance, real estate, and government and public-sector programmes. Any market where trust depends on verified data, enforceable controls, and auditable records. Canton provides the institutional network layer. Chainlink provides the verifiable data infrastructure. T-RIZE delivers the issuance, administration, governance, and integration layer that connects them. This is the infrastructure institutional and public digital markets have been waiting for.

Ecosystem participants meeting the Featured App locking requirements through the governance process the Foundation was designed to steward. This is what governance-led accountability looks like in practice.
Super Validator status carries governance weight and 24/7 infrastructure requirements. Part 1.2 of @Catalyx_Suite and @IntellectEU's Canton Onboarding Package series covers SV operations and how to host SV weight without running the infrastructure yourself. Follow along.
