Temple is building infrastructure for capital markets on Canton
API v2, SDKs, and programmatic access enable integration into trading systems, agents, and institutional workflows.
Lightspeed is worth highlighting because it is the newest proof point that Temple is improving the performance layer without moving away from the original Canton-native thesis.
6/6
Temple is building private and compliant financial market infrastructure for the world’s institutions on the Canton Network.
It is the number one trading engine on Canton, with over 200M in cumulative volume and produces over 30% of the network’s burn.
Let's dive in 👇
The custody model is equally important. Temple is non-custodial: assets stay in user-controlled wallets, execution permissions are explicitly delegated, and permissions can be revoked. Execution and asset control are cleanly separated.

Last but not least, to all the Canton builders, join our Telegram group. Find fellow builders, have real discussions, explore new ideas. Let's build together.

Canton Insiders is launching.
"Institutional blockchain" has been a promise for years. Only in Canton it quietly became real, and almost nobody is covering it at the depth the people building actually need.
That's the gap we're here to close. 👇
What we do:
Find the projects worth knowing about Canton and break them down properly. Deep dives on the protocols, how they're built, and the teams behind them.
No pitches, just insightful research on who's building what, and why it matters.
starting to work young compounds in a way no one tells you about!
if you can stay consistent for 3-4 years in your late teens, you'll do at 21 what most people only get to do till 30
the compounding lives in the people you meet, the rooms you end up in, the way the world starts treating you when you show up earlier than expected.
cuz how tf i :
~ did my first job at 17
~ dropped out of college
~ moved to dubai
~ traveled nd now living out of a suitcase
~ worked with 8 startups and companies
~ met the most ambitious people of my generation
be curious, ambitious and exposed to cool stuff. the compounding does the rest.
March CIP Update! 🪄
◽ CIP-0105: SV Locking: Super Validators now tie their governance weight to how much of their earned Canton Coin they keep locked onchain.
◽ CIP-0107: 24h Submission Delay: Canton Coin transactions now have a 24-hour signing window, up from 10 minutes.
◽ CIP-0106: @QCPgroup joins as a Super Validator (Weight 5): Their milestones are tied to bringing tokenized money market funds and RWAs onchain and into active collateral workflows.
◽ CIP-0109: @Visa joins as a Super Validator: The company that processes trillions in global payments annually is now part of Canton's governance and operating infrastructure.
Each CIP tightens how Canton Coin works, strengthens the validator set, and refines incentives as the @CantonNetwork scales.
🇹🇼 @0xteagan from @CantonFdn spoke at the 2026 RWA Forum in Taipei, where financial institutions, government bodies, and regulators came together to work through how tokenized real-world assets move from pilot to regulated market infrastructure.
Teagan's session covered:
→ How @CantonNetwork enables cross institution collaboration without compromising privacy
→ How Canton allows multiple institutions to transact on shared infrastructure on a need-to-know basis
→ How privacy preserving design is a prerequisite for regulated RWA workflows
Asia is moving fast on RWA infrastructure, and Canton is part of that conversation at every level!
Featured App Update #10: Tokenomics group has approved @hifibridge as a Featured App on @CantonNetwork. 🎊
HIFI is stablecoin infrastructure for developers, a composable API platform that lets companies move, convert, route, and settle value across stablecoins and bank rails through a single integration.
From two person teams to Fortune 100s, companies use HIFI to power treasury automation, global payouts, marketplace settlement, and liquidity routing entirely as software.
On Canton, HIFI provides institutions access to stablecoins and tokenized US Treasury exposure with privacy and compliance built in, helping them deploy cash more efficiently for their own treasury operations and offer the same capabilities to their customers through one regulated platform.
The cash leg for institutional settlement just got a lot cleaner.
A year ago the @CantonFdn launched with a handful of participants 👥
Today it is an ecosystem with Super Validators, validators, DeFi apps, institutional rails, and builders shipping across every vertical on @CantonNetwork.
We are just getting started ↓

We are happy to welcome @circle as a Super Validator on @CantonNetwork (CIP-0041 | Weight 10) 🎊
Circle is the company behind USDC, a fully backed, regulated digital dollar with $37B+ in TVL.
USDCx is now live on Canton. A USDC-backed stablecoin with full Canton privacy, built on Circle xReserve, the first time a USDC-backed stablecoin operates with institutional grade privacy and cross-application composability on a public L1.
Institutions on Canton can now settle 24/7, atomically, with a familiar dollar asset that stays private by default. Fully interoperable across Canton apps via CIP-56.
As a Super Validator, Circle helps secure the Global Synchronizer and govern the network while also providing the dollar settlement rail that institutional workflows on Canton actually run on.
The cash leg and the governance layer, in one 🤝
Featured App Update #8: Tokenomics group has approved @cancore_io as a Featured App on @CantonNetwork. 🎊
Cancore is building the settlement layer between Canton and public blockchains. Institutional assets live on Canton for privacy and control, but most usable liquidity lives on public chains, Cancore connects those two worlds with non-custodial atomic settlement, no relays, no custody layer, no bridge validators.
At launch they support atomic swaps with Canton Coin and major assets, with liquidity pools and broader chain connectivity coming next. They already have 10,000+ whitelisted users ready to go.
Excited to see them bring real liquidity access to the Canton ecosystem!
TradFi doesn’t care about your memecoin chain!!!
It cares about privacy, deterministic execution, compliant settlement, and real institutions moving real size.
That’s exactly why @CantonNetwork keeps triggering people.
A few things the FUD misses:
>> built for regulated markets, not casino flow
>> configurable privacy by design
>> no toxic MEV surface from visible mempools
>> real adoption across repo, collateral, tokenized assets, payments
>> serious institutions validating and building on it
>> not trying to be “everything chain”, just the rail capital markets actually need
>> network-level metrics are out in the open through public dashboards
The only difference is the critics are posting takes, while Canton already has 600+ institutions and projects building, validating, and trusting the network!!!!
