Canton Privacy Model: Confidential Transactions
Summary
The Canton Network announcement explains its privacy model where transaction data is visible only to the parties involved. It highlights the Global Synchronizer that enables atomic settlement across applications without exposing details to uninvolved participants. Participants control what data to share, with whom, and under what conditions, crucial for regulated financial markets.
Canton’s Privacy Model
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
