Summary

The Canton Network is actively recruiting node operators, who are essential for running the network's privacy-enabled infrastructure and securing cross-market financial applications. Node operators validate workflows while maintaining data privacy, connect to the existing network of validators, and earn Canton Coin ($CC). Running a node provides direct, secure access to Canton infrastructure, which is crucial for institutions building tokenized finance applications.

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
