@YuvalRooz @DRWTrading @wesarn_real @digitalasset @ShaulKfir Such a beautiful story. Here’s to continuing the journey toward even brighter days ahead.

Canton's validator network has grown to hundreds of nodes through structured onboarding governed by a committee with defined criteria, capacity management, and accountability.

Dozens of Super Validators. One framework.

@CantonFdn on how the validator set scales deliberately.

Governance on Canton is structured around three distinct functions: protocol stewardship, economic parameters, and compliance enforcement.

Each committee carries defined responsibilities and accountability obligations, with no overlap.

Full breakdown from @CantonFdn.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Retail access to financial products has defaulted to high-risk assets without the infrastructure to evaluate or price that risk safely.

Good products coming into Canton create the opportunity to change that.

@YuvalRooz discusses with @LongViewCrypto.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Institutional infrastructure doesn't scale overnight.

The partnerships being built on Canton today are the foundation for the financial workflows that run on it tomorrow.

@YuvalRooz with @LongViewCrypto why that build takes time and why it matters.

[Canton Foundation @CantonFdn]

Five pathways into the @CantonNetwork, depending on what you're building.

1. Learn DAML - multi-party financial workflows
2. Quickstart - full-stack dApp scaffold, running in hours
3. Utilities - bring assets on-chain with CIP-56 components
4. Composable Apps - build modules that compose atomically
5. Exchange & Wallet Integration - one integration, full token support

Protocol Development Fund is open. 5% of all CC emissions go to builder grants.

Arkena argues NFTs did not die. They were waiting for better infrastructure, and Canton can provide the foundation for a more practical digital ownership ecosystem.

CIP-0104 changed how Featured App rewards are calculated on @CantonNetwork.

Previously, rewards required manually created activity markers. Now they are based on actual traffic spent on the Global Synchronizer, measured directly through sequencer and mediator data.

What this means for builders:
🔸No more manually creating Featured App Activity Markers
🔸Rewards proportional to real on-chain activity your app generates
🔸Measurement happens automatically at the protocol level

The economic model now directly ties app rewards to the value an application creates for the
network.

Canton embeds compliance controls directly into the ledger.

Institutions get assets that are auditable and compliant by default.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Cross-border collateral markets lose more than $1.2 billion in potential earnings every night.

Pre-funding, over-provisioning, and settlement cut-offs leave up to 25% of the world's collateral idle and unremunerated.

The infrastructure requirement is clear.

Let's unpack smart contract security on @CantonNetwork.

On Canton, no one can upgrade a smart contract without the counterparty's knowledge. Every participant verifies the transaction themselves.

[Canton Foundation @CantonFdn]

Every change on @CantonNetwork follows the same rules-based process.

CIP drafted. Discussed publicly. Sponsored by Super Validators. Voted on. Two-thirds majority required.

114+ governance decisions and zero shortcuts.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Canton's Global Synchronizer sequences transactions, ensures atomic settlement, and eliminates reconciliations, without revealing sensitive data.

@TrenchWeb3 breaks down how it works and why this architecture is how institutions operate onchain.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

If most of the fees on your network come from MEV, the question worth asking is why people are willing to pay so much for it.

Value extraction has a signal.

@YuvalRooz on what MEV fees actually signal about the value being extracted from a network.

[Canton Network @CantonNetwork]

Milestone-based by design.

Deliver, verify, release the next allocation.

April CIP Update 👀

◽ CIP-0111: Process for Reducing Super Validator Weight. Establishes a formal governance process for reducing an SV's weight, bringing accountability mechanisms to the validator set.

◽CIP-0112: Canton Network Token Standard V2. Improvements to privacy, performance, and traditional accounting for Canton's token standard, advancing how assets are managed across the network.

◽ CIP-0113: Further Asset Management joins as a Super Validator (Weight 8.0). A new asset management firm added to the SV set through the CIP process, strengthening governance diversity.

◽CIP-0114: Digital Asset Treasury (DAT) SV Program. A new framework enabling publicly traded companies to participate as Super Validators through structured Canton Coin treasury commitments, with milestone-based escrow and governance weight tied to long-term alignment.

Four CIPs. Each one refining how the @CantonNetwork is governed, secured, and built.

Protocol Development Fund (FAQ 4/5): Not an incentives program. Not “picking winners.”

This is not a token incentive program, and it’s not designed to subsidize app growth.

The fund exists to support shared public goods, things the entire network benefits from over time:

🔸 Core protocol R&D
🔸 Developer tooling
🔸 Audits / security hardening
🔸 Reference implementations others can reuse
🔸 Critical ecosystem infrastructure
🔸 In some cases: liquidity seeding, where liquidity is required for early utility (but it’s not “liquidity mining”)

Why a fund instead of a single Super Validator allocation?
Because a dev fund gives you:

~ More flexible grant structures (RFPs, milestones, audits, long-term maintenance expectations)
~ Cleaner accountability
~ Less reliance on “ad hoc” market-cycle grants
~ It avoids concentrating dilution in one place, the mechanism is designed to be shared across stakeholders
