Canton’s June synchronizer upgrade eliminated the need for coordinated migrations and network interruptions. Two synchronizers run in parallel, replicating state between them while presenting a single logical synchronizer to validators and applications. Transactions continue uninterrupted. The topology ledger holds its state for a few hours during the upgrade window, with future iterations expected to reduce that to minutes or seconds. @ShaulKfir discusses with @LongViewCrypto.

Settlement gives tokenized assets a home on Canton. Usage is what creates the utility. @Eesee_io breaks down how they’re putting those assets to work, while also running their own validator on the network.

Canton’s ecosystem spans hundreds of projects across applications, institutions, and infrastructure. CCTools has mapped it by category, status, network role, and utility, including node operations and custody to payments, trading, analytics, developer tools, and more.
