Validators powering Canton

Canton now has 700+ validators securing the network.

On Canton:
- Validators execute smart contract logic at the edge and validate private transactions only for the parties involved, so data stays strictly need to know.
- Super Validators operate the Global Synchronizer, order Canton Coin (CC) transactions, and coordinate atomic workflows across applications.

Together, this validator layer upholds privacy and sovereignty and makes interoperability possible at institutional scale on Canton Network. @Announcements
