Canton gained another route to the rest of the crypto economy.
Squid Intents now supports @CantonNetwork, meaning assets can move to and from 100+ other chains through a single, intent-based execution flow, no manual bridging required.
More paths in and out means more liquidity and more reach for everything built on Canton.
🚨 THIS HAS ONLY HAPPENED A HANDFUL OF TIMES
The total crypto market has added roughly $500 BILLION+ in a single weekly candle.
The only previous two comparable weekly expansions were approximately
+$568 BILLION
+$510 BILLION
And now we're witnessing another for the 3rd time in crypto history
This week +$510 BILLION and counting.
This isn't a normal green week 👀
We're watching one of the largest absolute weekly expansions in crypto market history
At @SALTConference, @YuvalRooz described real-time settlement and collateral mobility as prerequisites for machine-speed markets.
The vision for Canton: to be the network moving cash, securities, repo, and collateral securely, 24/7.
Watch the discussion.
January 2026 CIP Update: It was a dense month for Canton governance.🛡️
A full set of Canton Improvement Proposals (CIPs) moved tokenomics, builder standards, and validator participation forward.
◽ CIP-0095: Onboarded Mesh as a Super Validator with outcome-linked weight (up to 10), ensuring validator influence and rewards scale only with delivered network impact.
◽ CIP-0096: Removed validator liveness rewards, shifting incentives away from passive uptime and toward real, value-adding network participation.
◽ CIP-0097: Approved @Nasdaq as a Super Validator under a milestone-based, escrowed weight model, bringing institutional market infrastructure directly into @CantonNetwork's governance.
◽ CIP-0098: Capped per-transaction application rewards at $1.50, eliminating app-level reward farming and aligning incentives with genuine economic activity.
◽ CIP-0099: Refined @zerohashx's adoption incentive structure to better align rewards with measurable network growth and usage.
◽ CIP-0100: Established formal governance for the 5% Development Fund, including committee oversight, quarterly transparency reports, and annual audits.
◽ CIP-0102: Added @TharimmuneInc as a Super Validator (Weight 4) with milestone-based rewards tied to ecosystem research and community engagement.
◽ CIP-0103: Approved the Canton dApp Standard, enabling wallet-agnostic, interoperable dApps and reducing developer friction across the network.
This is Canton governance in practice: incremental, accountable upgrades that align incentives with real usage, builders, and long-term network health.
"On Canton, tokenized assets are the asset.
Legally recognized, enforceable, and issued natively onchain.
Daml smart contracts encode ownership and rules, making the ledger the system of record for issuance, transfer, and settlement.
On @CantonNetwork, builders aren’t racing to ship the 100th DEX on some chain.
The developer ecosystem is growing rapidly by opening up an entirely new "one of its kind" design in the space: privacy, institutional controls, and composable finance that actually works for regulated workflows.
Here's what’s already live:
🔸 Network audits to map the core tools + reference apps developers actually need
🔸 A first hackathon with 5,000+ builders across lending, dark pools, prediction markets, and more
🔸 Quarterly hackathons ahead, plus the Canton Development Fund to back open tooling plus new applications
🔸 CIP-0100 now formalizing governance for that fund so grants are transparent, accountable, and builder-first
🔸 ~80 Featured Apps live or onboarding into Q1
And if you’re heading to @EthereumDenver, stay close. We’ve got developer-first education and announcements coming.
Citi is among a growing group of banks working with us to shape our blockchain-based ledger – extending Swift’s infrastructure to support tokenised value at scale.
Through industry-wide collaboration, we’re enabling a future where value moves seamlessly in a multi-model, multi-choice world.

CIP 0094 was approved and we are happy to welcome @BlockdaemonHQ as a Super Validator!
As a long-standing infrastructure provider to global institutions, Blockdaemon will:
~ Run geographically distributed, multi-cloud validator clusters with audited high uptime
~ Act as a delegated operator for banks, custodians, exchanges, and asset managers who want to participate on Canton without running their own infra from day one
~ Provide institutional-grade MPC wallet support for $CC, stablecoins, and tokenized assets, with policy-based approvals and compliance aligned controls
Their role strengthens the @CantonNetwork’s operational resilience and lowers the barrier for regulated institutions to join Canton, while keeping security, governance, and reliability at the center.
