We’re thrilled to announce that Canopy Network Foundation has raised $8.5M in financing. We’d like to thank our backers, partners, and stakeholders for all of the support to this point.
Legacy frameworks and development tools for onchain apps were envisioned and built when humans were writing 100% of code. They were built for a world that no longer exists. As development costs approach zero, builders need infrastructure that can keep pace with their ideas.
Canopy was built from the ground up to support AI-development. 200 lines of code, AI scaffolding, deployment tools, monitoring - everything you need to start and scale.
By reimagining the infrastructure layer, Canopy unlocks an entirely new set of builders in web3: anyone with an idea.
Mainnet is next.
Build with any AI coding assistant. Launch onchain with Canopy.

What "AI-native" actually means in 2026:
→ Generated by AI
→ Deployed by AI
→ Running on infra built for it
Most L1s meet none of these criteria. Canopy was built for all three 🌿

Every cycle leaves a graveyard of chains that launched and quietly died.
And that happens because they spent everything on development, with nothing left for launch execution.
Canopy chains launch with security, liquidity, and users already there.
Go build 🌿
Half the apps launching now are vibe-coded by models that aren't Solidity-native.
But they're expert-level in Python. Go. TypeScript.
Stacks builders use every day.
Canopy templates are built in exactly these and more
The chain finally meets builders where they already are 🌿
You can hold every token a project ever issued and still own none of it.
The supply rules, the upgrade keys, the validator set. All somewhere you can't reach.
Owning a Canopy chain means owning the parts that actually decide your future 🌿
The agentic economy has a quiet assumption baked into it: that machines will happily run on infrastructure humans fully control.
They won't. Not the serious ones.
The first truly autonomous agent will want a chain of its own. We're building for that day 🌿

Every app is one platform decision away from irrelevance.
A fee change. A policy update. A governance vote you didn't see coming.
Unless the platform is yours 🌿
Canopy Network is coming to Nucleus
Starting June 16, the Top 300 contributors will compete for a share of $100,000 worth of tokens

A smart contract gives you a slot on someone else's chain.
A Canopy chain gives you the chain itself
🌿 Your block space
🌿 Your fees
🌿 Your token
🌿 Your rules
And on Canopy, it stays yours permanently.
Most chains assume your validators won't attack you.
NestBFT doesn't. Proof-of-Age rewards validators the longer they've been staked.
This makes long-range attacks exponentially more costly the later they come.
Security that earns trust over time. Not just over stake.
Recently, we hosted a community competition.
The challenge: build any idea on Canopy - powered by vibe-coding and Canopy Templates.
Our builders got busy.
Here’s a look at what they created in just two weeks.
Imagine your dream project with AI. Bring it onchain in mere minutes with Canopy.
Now it's your turn. Get ready to build the next winning app 🌿
The next challenge is closer than you think 👀
Most AI coding tools were trained on TypeScript, Python, Go, and C#.
Solidity? Not so much.
Canopy Templates let you build a sovereign L1 in the languages AI understands best.
Nothing crazy needed.
Just your agent, your repo, and a chain that belongs to you 🌿
Meet @CNPYNetwork: where networks launch at the speed of ideas 🌿
Launching an appchain usually means months of infrastructure complexity before teams can focus on what matters: building.
Canopy takes a different approach-
https://t.co/3PAa20CJXP
The new dev stack:
→ Cursor or Claude writes the code
→ Vercel or Replit hosts the frontend
→ ??? handles the onchain layer
That third slot has been non-existent for years. Canopy fills it 🍃
The biggest crypto pivot of 2026 is a vibe shift.
Founders have stopped asking "which L2 should I deploy on?" and started asking "why am I deploying on anyone's L2?"
The answer used to be that you had no choice. That answer expired 🌿
Today we're excited to share that Canopy has acquired the core IP assets of Tanssi.
From the beginning, Tanssi built the gold standard for appchain orchestration. Validator coordination, sequencer assignment, data availability — all automated, all proven in production.
We have enormous respect for what the Tanssi team, contributors, and community built.
We're excited to continue partnering with the Tanssi team as Canopy expands its infrastructure and orchestration roadmap. This technology and research will continue forward as part of that long-term vision.

Token launchpads taught us anyone can launch a coin.
But launching a coin means using someone else’s infra, paying their fees, and playing by their rules.
Canopy is the launchpad for owning the layer underneath the coin 🌿
