Hi, all. Reminder about the upcoming Logical Synchronizer Upgrade slated for end of June (final date to be announced).
All party onboarding, package vetting and other topology transactions will pause for 24 hours before the LSU, and will resume immediately after the LSU completes.
Daml transactions will be delayed for seconds to minutes at the moment of the LSU
App providers should experience no other impact.
CIP-0116 has been approved, introducing CC locking requirements for Featured App designation on the Canton Network.
The goal is to make Featured App status more objective and market-based, while prioritizing applications that demonstrate committed capital and long-term alignment.
Featured Apps must now meet clear onchain locking requirements to qualify for and maintain Featured App status.
This helps create a more transparent process for:
- Featured App eligibility
- Application prioritization
- Ongoing alignment with the network
- Governance around Featured App status
Builders and app teams can review the full proposal here:

Hey @Canton Builder
New Release for Canton Builder MCP to have Extended Info on WalletConnect Integration for Canton Guide.
Check it here: https://github.com/Jatinp26/Build-on-Canton-MCP
What's this? (for new builders here)
When developers use AI e.g Claude to learn Canton, they often get recommended deprecated documentation links. This Local MCP Integration solves that. It provides a curated, remotely updated knowledge base covering Canton's Dev Stack and Guide Devs using Claude 0 to 100.
The server fetches its knowledge base from this repo on startup, then caches it locally. If and when we push an update e.g WalletConnect, every MCP user gets it automatically on their next Claude restart, no manual pulls needed.
A new breakdown from StakeCraft highlights recent development across the Canton Network.
In a six-week period, updates include:
- Bank deposit settlement
- Custody-native lending
- SMB credit distribution
- Cross-chain interoperability across 165 blockchains
- AI-powered smart contract audits
- Reported network activity reaching $8T in monthly settled value
The article provides a detailed look at how these components are coming together across the network.

Canton approaches privacy differently from most blockchains.
On the Canton Network, transaction data is only visible to the parties involved. The Global Synchronizer enables atomic settlement across applications without exposing details to uninvolved participants.
Participants choose what data to share, with whom, and under what conditions.
For regulated financial markets, this is what makes the difference between infrastructure institutions can actually use and infrastructure they cannot. @Announcements
Update: 2026-04-24
See details in the long-term SV Operations schedule
Phase 1: Splice 0.5.x releases pause, and multiple new Splice Daml models go into effect
- The Splice 0.5.x release line is complete
Daml Models and configuration settings going live on MainNet in Phase 1:
- Development Fund Manager Party is now live on MainNet as of April 15th.
- CIP-0104 Traffic-based App Rewards Increments 2 and 3 are in effect on MainNet
- May 5th: Daml models from Splice 0.5.16 go live on MainNet. All Validators must upgrade to Splice 0.5.16 on MainNet before this date.
Phase 2: Splice 0.6.x Release line. Splice 0.6.x begins to introduce features from Canton 3.5 as part of the standard bundle. Protocol-breaking changes remain behind feature flags.
- Splice 0.6.0 had errors in early testing by SVs on DevNet.
- Splice 0.6.1 will be released to SVs on Monday, April 27th.
- Validators should not upgrade until at least Tuesday, April 28th.
- Splice 0.6.x will introduce Logical Synchronizers, along with the ability to upgrade between two physical synchronizer nodes while preserving the same Logical SynchronizerID
- This will allow protocol-changing upgrades to take place without pausing Daml transactions. Topology transactions, like adding new nodes, onboarding parties, and vetting Daml models, do pause during protocol-changing upgrades.
Major Milestones for Splice 0.6.x:
- April 27th: Splice 0.6.1 goes live on DevNet. Logical Synchronizer introduced.
- April 30th: Validator Liveness Rewards reduced to zero (0).
- Late May:* Super Validators practice an upgrade using a Logical Synchronizer (aka Logical Synchronizer Upgrade / LSU) on DevNet. No actual protocol changes will be introduced in this practice.
Phase 3: Upgrade Global Synchronizer networks to Canton Protocol 35
- After proving out Logical Synchronizer upgrades on Splice 0.6.x, all three Global Synchronizer networks will perform a Logical Synchronizer upgrade to Canton protocol Version 35.
- Final timing and numbering of this upgrade, and the specific Canton 3.5 features to be included along with it, is still TBD. New features will roll out over time, relying on LSUs to minimize impact on Node Operators and App Providers.
Major Milestones for Phase 3:
- Early June: LSU on DevNet introduces protocol upgrade and major new features. TestNet LSU follows one week later.
- Mid-June: LSU on MainNet introduces protocol upgrade. New features introduced, following the same feature flags and upgrade procedures introduced on DevNet and TestNet.

On the Canton Network, governance rewards contribution, not capital accumulation.
As shown in the visual, Super Validators are selected for the utility they provide to the network, operating under neutral, transparent governance built for institutional use. @Announcements
Super Validators are the organizations that run, secure, and operate Canton’s Global Synchronizer, the shared coordination layer that enables atomic, privacy-preserving transactions across the network.
Today, the Canton Network has 45+ Super Validators, spanning both TradFi institutions and crypto-native organizations, each bringing specialized capability while collectively governing the network.
Shared infrastructure requires coordinated operation, and this is what that looks like on Canton. @Announcements
Starting this week, Canton Network enters a period of transition from Canton 3.4 to Canton 3.5. This will introduce a series of significant new features on DevNet, TestNet and MainNet.
The transition will take place in multiple phases:
Phase 1: Splice 0.5.x releases pause, and multiple new Splice Daml models go into effect
Splice 0.5.18 is now available on DevNet, and will roll out to TestNet and MainNet over the coming two weeks.
- This will be the final feature release of the Splice 0.5.x release line. If issues are found in this release, Splice 0.5.19 will contain patches. If issues are found in this release, a Splice 0.5.19 release will be created that will contain patches only.
Daml Models and configuration settings going live on MainNet in Phase 1:
- April 15th: Development Fund Manager Party changes from null to a value
- April 20th: CIP-0104 Traffic-based App Rewards Increments 2 and 3:
- Increments 2 and 3 are complete, ahead of schedule, and have been included in Splice 0.5.18. Please see the "Note" section in the Splice 0.5.18 release notes for details.
- These features will roll out to TestNet and MainNet over the coming two weeks, arriving on MainNet April 20th
- This enables API support for precise traffic costs per transaction (as used for application reward attribution), earlier than the original plan of mid-May.
- Increment 4 is currently on track to be available on MainNet by the end of June.
- May 5th: Daml models from Splice 0.5.16 go live on MainNet. All Validators must upgrade to Splice 0.5.16 on MainNet before this date.
Phase 2: Splice 0.6.x Release line. Splice 0.6.x begins to introduce features from Canton 3.5 as part of the standard bundle. Protocol-breaking changes remain behind feature flags.
- Most important: Splice 0.6.x will introduce Logical Synchronizers, along with the ability to upgrade between two physical synchronizer nodes while preserving the same Logical SynchronizerID
- This will allow protocol-changing upgrades to take place without pausing Daml transactions. Topology transactions, like adding new nodes, onboarding parties, and vetting Daml models, do pause during protocol-changing upgrades.
__Major Milestones for Splice 0.6.x: __
- April 27th: Splice 0.6.0 goes live on DevNet. Logical Synchronizer introduced
- April 30th: Validator Liveness Rewards reduced to zero (0).
