Join Community

Privacy and Institutional Scale on Canton

Privacy is a core requirement for institutional deployment.

Canton’s network-of-networks architecture supports horizontal scaling through independent synchronizers and dynamic traffic routing.

As activity grows, institutions can introduce additional synchronizers to expand capacity without creating central bottlenecks.

This design enables sustained, institutional-scale operation on the Canton Network.

Shaul Kfir explains the model and its implications in detail.
