Cert Seal is live on the public Canton Network.
A compliance clearance can now move between settlement rails, verified at the destination, cryptographically unlinkable, single-use, with the identity never touching the rail.
Scope: Cert Seal isn't the check. Sanctions (OFAC/UN/EU) and AML screening happen upstream and produce a cleared state. Cert Seal is the rail-agnostic layer that moves it, the holder's clearance, never the asset or the value.
In the live run, the destination consumed a never-before-seen nullifier and recorded it on-ledger. Zero PII: the chain holds commitments and roots, never data. The audit trail anchors on Base, verifiable now:

Stack: Daml on @CantonNetwork, ZK proving in Noir + UltraHONK (@NoirLang / @aztecnetwork ), ML-DSA-87 post-quantum attestation. Patent-pending.
DMs open for anyone building in settlement infra, privacy compliance, or Canton. Evidence under NDA.
Compliance proven, not disclosed. @canton
This is exactly the property we build on. The Global Synchronizer routes without seeing, and our compliance layer proves without holding. A cleared counterparty's status travels as a zero-knowledge proof, verified by the destination participant, with zero PII ever crossing the boundary. You cannot attack, subpoena, or leak data that was never there.
We took this live on public Canton DevNet tonight. Compliance clearance as a portable, verifiable attribute, no identity data moving with it.
Tonight we went live on public Canton DevNet.
ZeroVaultID's compliance attestation now settles end to end on a live Canton participant. A zero-knowledge proof of compliance, verified against a pinned key, drives a real presentation-and-clearance settlement on-ledger. Replay the same proof and the ledger rejects it. Single use, enforced at the protocol level.
Compliance clearance becomes portable. The proof travels with the position, verified by the destination rail, with zero PII ever crossing the boundary.

Canton separates transaction coordination from data validation.
The Global Synchronizer routes messages without storing or seeing transaction data, similar to how an ISP routes internet traffic.
Even a coordinated attack on SVs cannot change data they never had access to.
The triangle for 24/7 institutional liquidity: Cash on ledger, short-duration government bonds, and spot and repo markets that make both fungible.
@Wesarn_real on @TheRollupCo discusses @DigitalAsset's $355M raise, Canton's adoption, and what rewiring global finance requires.
ZeroVaultID is now a validator on Canton Network DevNet, with an on-ledger validator license through the Global Synchronizer Foundation. Our node is live on the shared synchronizer, where regulated finance is converging.
The products behind it are built and running in our own stack. Attest, our credential attestation layer, signed with PQC: Ed25519 paired with ML-DSA-87 at NIST Level 5, standardized under FIPS 204. Cert Seal, our patent-pending compliance rail that proves a counterparty meets a requirement and reveals nothing else.
It covers what institutions actually answer to. Sanctions screening clear of the OFAC, UN and EU lists. A framework built for EU MiCA. Identity aligned with the EU Digital Identity mandate. PQC from the signature up.
The compliance proofs go onto the node next.
We don't ask institutions to trust us. We let them verify. Building on @Canton_Network.
Running 9 Noir/UltraHONK compliance circuits in prod (KYC/AML/PEP/sanctions). The jurisdiction one pushed past 180M constraints, 5 days, which surfaced a few barretenberg edge cases we worked through to a clean proof. +1 for Noir covering proving at the high-constraint end. Using NOIR for a Canton project in dev now. Most elegant language. Beautiful code
Canton was built around a set of design choices that most blockchains do not make.
Sub-transaction privacy as the default. Governance through 55 Super Validators and the CIP process. Fair launch with zero premine. Holding fees that create economic equilibrium. Atomic settlement without exposing transaction data.
If you had to pick one, which design choice matters most for Canton’s long-term success?
JPMorgan's JPMD is being natively issued on Canton, marking the broadest public deployment of a bank-issued deposit token to date.
@BSCNews on what that means for Wall Street's settlement infrastructure.
Confidentiality is what makes institutional participation possible at scale.
On Canton, privacy is built at the protocol level.
@Zerohashx's @E_Woodford discusses.
Peter Thiel: Europe will never have massive tech companies because they fear success.
"In Silicon Valley, there's this pornography of failure. You talk about all your failures, and this somehow means you're going to succeed."
"In the social democratic European societies, it's acceptable to be moderately successful, it's not acceptable to be wildly successful. If you have a successful company that's starting to grow, it will get short-circuited, and you'll sell the company. You'll never get to an enormous company if you sell it along the way."
"The single most important decision in the history of Facebook— summer of 2006. It was two years into the company. We got an acquisition offer for $1B from Yahoo to buy the company. There were three of us on the board— Mark Zuckerberg, myself, and another VC. We had a meeting to decide if we should take the $1B."
"The two of us thought it was a lot of money, we should maybe take it. Mark started the board meeting— 'this is a pro forma thing, we're just going to talk about this for 10 minutes. Obviously we're not taking it.'"
"Any super big tech company is one where you've been offered multiple times for people to buy it, and you've chosen never to sell it. You're not that afraid of success."
"In Europe, the answer is to check out sooner rather than later and go back to the decade-long vacation that people are on in Europe."
A milestone I'm proud of, as a solo founder building ZeroVaultID.
1/Tonight I validated ZeroVaultID's post-quantum node attestation live, end to end, on a Canton ledger.
Signed with ML-DSA-87, the NIST post-quantum standard (FIPS-204).
2/ It ran as a Daml Script against a Canton 3.4.11 participant in a dev environment. Full positive and negative control suite green: the genuine attestation accepts, and every tampered, unregistered, revoked, or unadmitted case rejects at its own check.
Single participant for now. Multi-participant next.
3/ Builds on earlier cross-rail work: I stood up two isolated synchronizers, S1 and S2, and showed the rail holds isolation across them.
Cross-rail interoperability with compliance built in, proven in dev, in a protocol I have filed on.
4/ The rail proves compliance rail to rail. Unlinkable but auditable. A regulator can verify off-system. Patent pending.
5/ Built validated it solo. Now I'm looking for a technical co-founder to build it with me, fluent in Noir and zero-knowledge, ready to turn a real, working foundation into something amazing. Serious Equity
If interested, DM me. @CantonNetwork@Aztec_Dev@catalyx_suite
ZeroVaultID's first Noir circuit is live on a public testnet API: on-chain verifiable, zero PII. circuit 1 of 9, built to run with our patent-pending cross-rail attestation protocol on Canton. @CantonNetwork@a16z@aztecnetwork
moving fast. looking for a Noir/zk engineer co-founder to build this with us.
Yesterday: the aggregation tree composes. Constant ~682K gates per verify, +91 per level of depth.
Today the frontier I named closed. Our 182M-constraint production circuit proved fresh, passed independent verification for the first time, and verified in-circuit at +2% over baseline. @Aztec_Dev@aztecnetwork@Zac_Aztec
The heaviest leaf is in. Proof count is the only variable that matters now.
Hiring a Noir-fluent ZK engineer as technical co-founder. Serious equity. DMs open.
