On Validators, Access, and Alignment

In a recent Quadrillions episode, Yuval Rooz spoke about what validator participation should look like in practice, and how that connects to the original promise of blockchain.

On many networks, becoming a validator effectively requires staking tens of millions, which excludes the very teams this technology was meant to open doors for.

Canton takes a different approach.

Super Validators on Canton Network are not selected simply because they can post the most capital, but because they add the most value: smaller crypto firms and operators that showed up early, shipped, onboarded users, and put real work into the network.

The core principle is straightforward:
alignment should come from contribution and responsibility, not just balance sheet size.

Node Operators on Canton

Node operators are the backbone of Canton Network, running privacy-enabled infrastructure, securing assets, and connecting real financial applications across markets.

Thinking about operating a node? Here is what node operators do:

• Validate and host application workflows for their own institutions and clients, keeping sensitive data private while transacting on a shared network.
• Plug into a public network of roughly 640+ validators and about 38 Super Validator nodes that coordinate atomic settlement across independent applications.
• Earn Canton Coin ($CC) for liveness and network usage, and, as Super Validators, help govern protocol upgrades and the Global Synchronizer.

If you are building institutional-grade finance, from tokenized Treasuries to money market funds and collateral networks, running a node is how you gain direct, secure access to Canton infrastructure and help shape its roadmap. @Announcements

Privacy and Institutional Capital

Privacy is the key to unlock institutional capital at scale.

• Without it, blockchains are suitable for experiments, not trillions.
• With it, institutions get control over who sees what, regulators get the visibility they need, and capital can finally flow 24/7.

That’s how real finance moves on-chain. @Announcements

Attention Canton Community

We’re launching the Canton Network Developer Experience & Tooling Survey to learn more about you, the projects you’re building, and how this community, our docs, and our tools can better support your work.

If you write Daml, build on Canton, operate infrastructure, or are just getting started, your feedback is extremely valuable and will directly shape what we prioritize next (content, examples, events, and tooling improvements).

👉 Please take a few minutes to fill out the survey here: https://forms.gle/r6UC3fMsWKLvNfVX7

Thank you in advance for helping us make this a better place for builders. If you have thoughts beyond the survey, feel free to share them in #channel as well.

Privacy for Real Finance

Privacy isn’t optional for real financial workflows.

Canton is designed so only the right parties see the right data, without sacrificing composability or compliance.

That combination is what makes institutions comfortable moving core workflows on-chain. @Announcements

On-Chain Derivatives for Institutions

Institutions want the speed of crypto without the compromises.

With institutional derivatives activity accelerating, trading desks now expect:
- Around-the-clock liquidity
- Composability across platforms
- Privacy that meets institutional standards
- Full compliance

Most chains make you choose between these. Canton doesn’t.

Canton Network is the only public L1 that lets institutions trade, settle, and manage collateral on-chain with traditional-market confidence and blockchain-native benefits.

This is the next phase of capital markets.
This is where finance flows.

From tokenized deposits to stablecoins and Treasuries, Canton is seeing momentum across regulated, institutional-grade on-chain finance. @Announcements

Where TradFi Meets DeFi

The gap between traditional finance and decentralized finance is closing.

Canton delivers institutional-grade privacy and control on a public, composable blockchain, resolving the trade-offs that once kept these worlds apart.

Global finance meets programmable rails. @Announcements

Privacy on Canton is need-to-know.

Each contract and sub-transaction defines exactly who can see which data.

Banks see cash.
Custodians see assets.
Compliance stays intact.

In other words, programmable privacy built for real-world use cases. @Announcements

Canton Network 3.4 Upgrade Complete

Earlier last month, Canton Network completed its 3.4 upgrade amid accelerating demand.

Approximately 600 validator nodes transitioned with minimal downtime.

With $350B+ moving on-chain daily, this upgrade enhances scalability and developer experience, reinforcing Canton’s role as foundational infrastructure for capital markets.

Learn more about the upgrade:

One Protocol. Built on Four Pillars.

Building a durable network requires more than code.
It depends on four pillars working together:
- Applications
- Assets
- Users
- Infrastructure
Canton is scaling across all four.

Validators, custodians, wallets, exchanges, and developers are already live, with major assets like USDC on the way.

A resilient, self-sustaining ecosystem is emerging, built to support real-world, institutional-grade activity on-chain. @Announcements

Canton Network: 2025 Year-in-Review

2025 marked the year institutional finance accelerated on-chain, with Canton Network at the center of that shift.

Key highlights from the year:
- $6T in real-world assets processed
- $350B per day in U.S. Treasury repo activity
- 622 validator nodes operated by institutions, operators, and infrastructure providers
- 37 super validators anchoring global settlement and governance
- Adoption accelerating, with users and transactions continuing to grow through live institutional workflows

2025 marked a foundational shift: regulated institutional activity, operating on-chain, at scale.

PSA

A current bug that is affecting Ubuntu based k8s deployments more generally may impact Splice deployments using Helm. (Docker compose-based deployments are not affected!)

In certain circumstances the JVM is no longer considering the container limits when determining Java memory limits, which can lead to restarts of pods as they exceed their k8s memory limits.

More details: The 6.14 Linux kernel version removed support for the v1 cgroups(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-hwe-6.14/+bug/2122368). This was then reverted again, i.e., fixed, in 6.14.0-36. The Java version that has support for v2 cgroup is not released yet(https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8347811). This means that container support for Java is broken for all 6.14 versions up to 6.14.0-36. Specifying options such as -XX:MaxRAMPercentage=75 -XX:InitialRAMPercentage=75 (the current default in the Splice Helm charts) will not work as intended; it will apply a limit based on the resources available on the host system, not the container.

If you're using managed k8s clusters such as GKE or EKS you will most likely not be impacted as they currently run on older kernel versions. For example: GCP - https://docs.cloud.google.com/kubernetes-engine/docs/how-to/migrate-cgroupv2#transition-plan

Workaround (if you suspect that you might be affected): You can override the default JVM options, replacing the relative memory limits with absolute values. This involves the following steps:
1: In the Helm values YAML for your participant deployment, add defaultJvmOptions: -XX:+UseG1GC -Xms24g -Xmx24g -Dscala.concurrent.context.numThreads=8 -XX:ActiveProcessorCount=8 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/persistent-data
* If you changed the default memory limits for this Helm deployment previously, please adapt -Xms24g -Xmx24g to represent 75% of the memory limits of the container.
2: In the Helm values YAML for your validator deployment, add defaultJvmOptions: -XX:+UseG1GC -Xms6g -Xmx8g -Dscala.concurrent.context.numThreads=8 -XX:ActiveProcessorCount=8 -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError -XX:HeapDumpPath=/persistent-data
* If you changed the default memory limits for this Helm deployment previously, please adapt -Xms6g -Xmx8g to represent 75% of the memory limits of the container.
3: Run helm upgrade to apply your changes.

Avoiding this issue: We recommend against running the latest kernel version in production. Ideally, upgrades of the host system / k8s cluster should follow a linear propagation similar to Splice upgrades (i.e., upgrade first your DevNet cluster, then TestNet, then MainNet).
