Validators and Super Validators on Canton

Summary

The Canton Network announcement explains the roles of Validators and Super Validators and how separation of execution from coordination preserves privacy. Validators execute transactions within domains while Super Validators coordinate via the Global Synchronizer without accessing contents. This enables private execution, atomic settlement, and network-wide composability and includes visuals illustrating each role.

Super Validators coordinate the network through the Global Synchronizer without accessing transaction contents.

Together, this model enables private execution, atomic settlement, and network-wide composability on the Canton Network.
