Canton generated ~$59-60M in fees in the past 30 days, ranking it among the top protocols globally by real revenue, driven by institutional settlement and tokenization workflows. That number alone tells you something about June. The rest of the month matched that signal: - @digitalasset closed a $355M Series F led by a16z, with HSBC, Apollo, BNP Paribas, and Citadel Securities among the backers - Zenith was invited to Japan's megabank consortium targeting same-day settlement for the $1.6T JGB repo market - @Mastercard added @CantonNetwork to its stablecoin settlement ecosystem - 900+ active validators, Citadel LLC and Taishin Bank among the newest names The full June recap is covered in this month's Canton Signal. Zenith is what opens this ecosystem to every Ethereum and Solana developer, bringing DeFi's composable primitives onto the rails where institutional capital actually lives. Zth.
We're building infrastructure that global financial institutions depend on, now we need the engineer who makes sure it never goes down. Zenith is hiring a Senior Site Reliability Engineer. This is a role for someone who has owned production reliability solo before, built the processes around it from scratch, and is ready to do it again at the intersection of institutional finance and blockchain infrastructure. You'll design and implement incident response, observability, monitoring, and on-call systems while supporting Canton validator operations and Zenith Stack client deployments. As Zenith scales, you'll grow a team around it. We're looking for 7+ years in SRE or platform engineering, deep Kubernetes expertise, and a proven track record owning mission-critical distributed systems. Experience with blockchain infrastructure or high-availability financial systems is a strong bonus. Remote-first, Europe strongly preferred. Apply here: Zth.
