The developer tooling layer on @CantonNetwork continues to expand.
Three SDKs, one architecture.
Whether you're an exchange integrating custody, a builder connecting an application, or an institution bringing your own validator infrastructure, the wallet stack is designed to meet you where you are.
CIP-0119 has been approved: Free Canton Coin Transfer-Preapproval Base Duration.
Transfer preapprovals on @CantonNetwork now include a free 90-day base duration. Creating or renewing a preapproval with an expiry time within that window requires only standard traffic costs, with no additional CC fees.
Why this matters: Most exchanges require transfer preapprovals to be enabled before sending Canton Coin to a party. Previously, enabling preapprovals required paying CC fees upfront, creating a bootstrapping problem for new participants who needed CC to receive CC.
CIP-0119 removes that barrier. New validators and users can now set up preapprovals through free traffic costs alone, making it possible to onboard and receive CC from exchanges without already holding it.
Preapprovals with durations longer than 90 days still require paying CC fees, maintaining protection against overloading Super Validator nodes with long-lived preapprovals.
The design solves the bootstrapping problem while preserving the existing fee structure for extended durations.
The change will be released with Splice 0.6.9 and validators that upgrade will automatically consume the change and profit from the free 90-day base duration on preapprovals.
Approved June 15, 2026.

Institutional adoption here we come...
Why did we raise our last round:
We’re already profitable. So why raise?
For years we’ve asked ourselves what it would take to truly bring finance OnChain. We believe @CantonNetwork has finally identified the components needed to establish crypto rails as a new global settlement layer, rather than treating crypto wallets as a mere distribution mechanism (as most “tokenization” does today). Those components are: privacy, issuer control and sovereignty, governance, and alignment of economics.
We have the largest organizations in the world moving their core businesses to run on Canton. That will drive utility to canton-network:native. @digitalasset’s entire business is canton-network:native.
So why raise? Because we have a unique opportunity right now. Organizations are willing. Regulators are willing. Admin is willing. We could wait for organic growth, or DA can step in to accelerate it. Rather than wait for large corporates with long budget cycles to build this infrastructure, DA will build much of what’s needed to double, triple, and quadruple canton-network:native utility.
We will enter new partnerships to build applications that drive more usage. Those will be announced later this year.
We will partner with builders to bring burns to subnets.
And there are potential M&A activities that will further align other companies with @CantonNetwork.
All of this requires a healthy balance sheet, which we now have.
There is still a lot of work to do, but I’m excited for what’s ahead.
