Canton Network: Privacy by Design for Blockchains

Join Community

Summary

The Canton Network announced its commitment to "Privacy by Design" for blockchains, contrasting with public chains that broadcast all data. This means privacy is fundamentally integrated into Canton's assets and smart contracts. Consequently, only authorized parties can view, store, validate, and audit the necessary data.

Need-to-know privacy, by design

Public chains broadcast everything to everyone. Canton does not.

On Canton, privacy is built directly into the asset and smart contract, so only the right parties can see, store, validate, and audit the data. @Announcements
