General purpose blockchains spent years competing for the same developers, the same liquidity, and the same narrative. What's emerging now looks different: infrastructure built for specific institutional requirements, capital flows and compliance frameworks.
The pattern is visible in how @CantonNetwork has grown. Not through a single headline partnership, but through a sustained sequence of institutions across different regulatory jurisdictions - each with its own approval requirements - choosing the same infrastructure and maintaining that commitment month after month. Clearinghouses, investment banks, stock exchanges. The kind of institutional alignment that doesn't happen because a chain is faster or cheaper, it happens because the infrastructure was built around what these institutions actually need.
For 31,800+ Ethereum-native builders, Zenith changes what "finding product-market fit" looks like. Instead of competing for attention across a fragmented landscape of general purpose chains, applications can deploy on infrastructure that institutions have already committed to for entirely different reasons.
