Summary

The Canton Network has reached a significant milestone, now boasting over 700 validators securing its infrastructure. These validators are crucial as they execute smart contract logic and validate private transactions while maintaining data privacy. This growing validator layer is essential for upholding privacy, sovereignty, and enabling institutional-scale interoperability on the Canton Network.

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
