Sub-transaction privacy as the default. Governance through 55 Super Validators and the CIP process. Fair launch with zero premine. Holding fees that create economic equilibrium. Atomic settlement without exposing transaction data.
If you had to pick one, which design choice matters most for Canton’s long-term success?
