Canton Network: Third-Party Apps & DYOR Notice

Canton is an open network. Users are free to connect wallets and interact with Featured Apps or non-Featured Apps of their choosing. The Foundation does not curate or designate “approved” tools across the broader ecosystem, nor does it gate who can deploy applications to the network.

As always, users should exercise their own judgment and perform appropriate due diligence before interacting with any third-party application—especially those that have not been formally introduced or documented by the teams behind them.

To put this in perspective: you wouldn’t go to Ethereum to complain about something happening on Arbitrum, or to Solana to complain about pump fun. The same principle applies within the Canton ecosystem—individual dApps operate independently and are responsible for their own products and services.

If you require support for any ecosystem dApps, please contact the official support channels of that specific application. The main Canton Telegram channel nor main Discord chats cannot provide support for third-party dApps.

If an app seeks Featured App status or formal recognition, that process is public and transparent and will be clearly communicated to the community. App specific business models and user commercials are not determined or implemented by the Foundation.

As always, DYOR (Do Your Own Research) before interacting with any application or protocol within the ecosystem.

Canton Network: March 31 Fork and Fee Updates

Three important updates:

Batched and Weighted Featured App Markers ~~are live on MainNet as of last week (Splice 0.5.11)~~. Coming March 31st to MainNet. This will make it possible to replace App Markers with a single weighted marker setting a weight equivalent to the nominal traffic cost of the transaction. Multiple markers will be be processed as a batch. Implementing weighted and batched markers reduces your total transaction cost, speeds up transaction processing, and makes more bandwidth available across the network.
- This is an intermediate step on the path toward traffic-based app rewards (CIP-0104).

Free confirmation responses went live last week. This means that if your node hosts parties that are involved in transactions that they do not submit, your node does not need to pay a traffic fee to submit confirmation responses for those transactions.

Fork coming March 31st. Splice 0.5.11 introduces Daml models that will fork any node that does not upgrade to at least 0.5.11 before those Daml models go live. These models were previously scheduled to go live yesterday, but that has been delayed until March 31st to resolve a bug in a dependent process on the Sequencer

Built for the real financial system

Many blockchain networks launch quickly and evolve over time.

Canton was built over more than a decade and tested against real market constraints with institutions like DTCC, J.P. Morgan, and Goldman Sachs, alongside the firms that move trillions through the financial system.

This is not a pilot.

It is real infrastructure designed for the real financial system. @Announcements

Security Advisory: Secrets in Validator Logs

Security Advisory — Potential secrets exposure in validator logs

We have identified an issue where sensitive credentials (such as your PostgreSQL password and Ledger API auth token) may be written in plaintext to validator application logs. This only occurs under a specific combination of conditions described below.

Who is affected?
You may be affected if both of the following are true:
1. Your validator deployment uses additional DARs beyond the standard Splice dars, AND you deployed those dars via the .appDars Helm value OR by manually setting the SPLICE_APP_DARS environment variable to a non-null value. (Uploading additional DARs via other means does not make you affected.)
2. DEBUG-level logging is enabled for the validator app.
- Helm deployments: DEBUG logging is on by default.
- Docker Compose deployments: The default log level was changed from DEBUG to INFO in Splice 0.5.10.

What should I do?
1. Immediately ensure your validator app log level is set toINFO or above. This stops any further exposure.
If you believe your deployment matched both conditions above, we recommend rotating the following secrets:
- PostgreSQL database password
- Ledger API auth token
- Any other secrets you may have added as environment variables on the validator app deployment

Fix
This issue has been resolved in splice#4230 and will be included in the upcoming 0.5.14 release.

Canton Network: Privacy and Institutional Scale

Privacy and Institutional Scale on Canton

Privacy is a core requirement for institutional deployment.

Canton’s network-of-networks architecture supports horizontal scaling through independent synchronizers and dynamic traffic routing.

As activity grows, institutions can introduce additional synchronizers to expand capacity without creating central bottlenecks.

This design enables sustained, institutional-scale operation on the Canton Network.

Shaul Kfir explains the model and its implications in detail.

Splice 0.5.13 Notice: Scan Script Deprecated

:yellow_alert: Attention :yellow_alert:

Splice 0.5.13, which will be available on DevNet next week, deprecates the sample python script, scan_txlog.py, that has until now provided a reference for how to download and parse the Scan /updates stream. This script will no longer be maintained, and will be removed in a future release. Developers interested in understanding how to parse transactions from history should refer to the documentation for Reading and parsing transaction history involving Token Standard contracts.

DAML MODEL UPGRADE ISSUE impacting PQS users

The following DAML package versions were introduced by Splice 0.5.11, and are effective on DevNet as of this week.

name version

amulet 0.1.16

amuletNameService 0.1.17

dsoGovernance 0.1.22

validatorLifecycle 0.1.6

wallet 0.1.17

walletPayments 0.1.16

These Daml model versions are currently scheduled to go live on TestNet (March 3rd) & MainNet (March 10th).

However, Splice 0.5.11 deployments this week on TestNet have exposed an issue where in certain cases, "uploaded but not-yet vetted" packages break some assumptions in PQS. In order to avoid these issues, validator operators that use PQS are advised, as part of the 0.5.11 deployment, to make the following configuration changes:

  • in k8s, set the Helm value on the validator app maxVettingDelay to 0m
  • in docker-compose, add to the validator container an environment variable  ADDITIONAL_CONFIG_MAX_VETTING_DELAY with value canton.validator-apps.validator_backend.max-vetting-delay = 0m

Scaling Canton Apps with Wallet Interoperability

New Blog: Scaling Canton Apps with Wallet and App Interoperability

We just published a new post outlining a proposed standard to improve wallet and app interoperability across the Canton Network.

The goal is to make it easier for wallets and applications to connect, communicate, and operate seamlessly, helping increase overall network connectivity and composability.

If you are building a wallet or application on Canton, this is an important step toward creating more unified user experiences and stronger ecosystem coordination. More updates on this initiative will follow.

Burn-Mint Equilibrium (BME) on Canton

Canton chose a different path in crypto: Burn-Mint Equilibrium.

  • 100% of network fees are burned
  • Fees are fixed in USD, so usage translates directly into burn, regardless of narratives

The point is simple: if utility keeps compounding, the burn keeps compounding too, even in a sideways macro.

Check out the clip for the clearest explanation of BME dynamics and why the market may still be underpricing what’s happening on Canton, explained by Wes. @Announcements

Canton Network Burns 2 Billion CC

2,000,000,000 CC burned

Canton has now passed 2,000,000,000 CC burned.

On Canton Network, 100% of network fees are burned, with fees priced in USD, so supply is only retired when there is real activity on chain. Every burn reflects actual transactions executed under institutional controls.

This is burn–mint equilibrium in practice: rewards secure the network and support builders, while sustained usage continuously reduces supply.

Two billion burned. Real network use. Real compounding utility. @Announcements

Canton Network Hits 700+ Validators

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

Canton Network: Validators Based on Contribution

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.

Become a Canton Network Node Operator Today

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 Unlocks Institutional Capital on Blockchain

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

Canton Network: On-Chain Derivatives for Institutions

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.

Canton Network: Critical K8s/JVM Memory Bug Alert

PSA :Alert:

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).

Canton Network MainNet Major Upgrade Dec 10

MAJOR UPGRADE ON MAINNET 9 AM US EASTERN 1400 UTC DECEMBER 10TH

MainNet will go through a protocol-changing major upgrade on Wednesday, December 10th, starting at 9 am US Eastern (1400 UTC). Here are the most important things you need to know, and some recommendations on how to prepare.

MainNet will pause and go offline at the start of the major upgrade, 9 am US Eastern (1400 UTC)
MainNet will remain down between 3 and 6 hours

This major upgrade with downtime was approved by a vote of the Super Validators to adopt CIP-0089
The proven upgrade path is 0.4.23 -> 0.5.1. You must upgrade your Validator to 0.4.23 or 0.4.25 before the major upgrade.

Validators will stop processing transactions as soon as MainNet begins this pause.

To rejoin the network and resume processing transactions, Validators must complete the migration steps outlined in the technical documentation for Major Upgrades, here:
https://docs.sync.global/validator_operator/validator_major_upgrades.html

MainNet’s Migration ID will change as part of this upgrade. The Super Validators will announce the new Migration ID once MainNet comes back online. The default Migration_ID value will be 4, unless announced otherwise by the Super Validators.

Every node should take a full backup of its node and identities before the upgrade. Details here:
https://docs.sync.global/validator_operator/validator_backups.html#backups

Important Points:
Before initiating the upgrade procedure, Validators should confirm that their nodes do not have any Ledger API users without party-level permissions

See the example provided here:
https://github.com/global-synchronizer-foundation/docs/discussions/19#discussioncomment-15013845
Exchanges and other Application Providers should read closely through the additional guidance provided here:
https://docs.digitalasset.com/integrate/devnet/exchange-integration/node-operations.html#rolling-out-major-splice-upgrades

The proven upgrade path for this upgrade is Splice 0.4.23 -> Splice 0.5.1. All Validators must upgrade to Splice 0.4.23 before the upgrade.
Upgrading to Splice 0.4.25 is optional; the 0.4.25 -> 0.5.1 upgrade path will also succeed.

Note that, as outlined in the long-term schedule, this major upgrade will be followed immediately by a minor (non-forking) upgrade to Splice 0.5.4.

@Canton Builder @Dev Announcements

Remember that the MainNet Major upgrade on December 10th will not preserve history for private transactions: that means all transactions involving anything other than Canton Coin will no longer be available on your Validator node or anywhere else onchain.

All Validator node operators, application providers and wallet providers should make plans to back up and retain any transaction history you may require for financial reporting or other purposes.

As of now, future major upgrades are expected to retain transaction history, so this will not be an ongoing issue.

Alchemy Pay Integrates Canton Coin ($CC) for Global Fiat Acc

Alchemy Pay Now Supports Canton Coin ($CC) :canton_logo:

We’re excited to announce that Alchemy Pay, one of the world’s leading fiat–crypto payment gateways, has officially integrated Canton Network’s native token, Canton Coin ($CC). This major milestone brings global, direct fiat access to $CC across 173 countries.

Users can now buy $CC instantly using:
* Visa & Mastercard
* Apple Pay & Google Pay
* Local bank transfers
* 50+ fiat currencies

This integration removes onboarding friction and allows both individuals and institutions to access Canton’s ecosystem safely, easily, and compliantly.

🛒 Real-World Utility

$CC is also now supported across Alchemy Pay’s crypto payment network, enabling holders to spend $CC with merchants around the world. This expands $CC’s role beyond the blockchain and into everyday commerce.

Alchemy Pay’s compliant global ramp, backed by 10 U.S. Money Transmitter Licenses and regulatory approvals across Asia, Europe, and the UK, perfectly aligns with Canton’s mission of delivering institutional-grade infrastructure with real-world utility. Together, Canton Network and Alchemy Pay are helping build the rails for the future of global finance, where institutional technology meets accessible user experience.
