Chung Research Note #4 - Canton Network

Executive Summary
- Canton Network is a privacy-enabled open blockchain for institutional finance that synchronizes assets and data in real time while preserving regulatory-grade privacy, and it already processes over $6T+ in tokenized RWAs and $280B+ in daily U.S. Treasury repo settlements

- Developed by Digital Asset and led by Yuval Rooz, Canton Network launched in 2023 and uses the Daml smart-contract language and the Global Synchronizer to enable atomic cross-application transactions. Its key feature is “selective transparency,” visible to regulators but hidden from competitors

- Canton Network powers major institutional use cases in RWA tokenization, stablecoin payments, and crypto derivatives, backed by nearly 400 participants including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Circle, all connected through the Canton Coin ($CC) economy driving “AllFi.”

- 2026 will be the year of “practical privacy crypto,” and regulatory progress like the US Digital Asset Market Clarity Act could help Canton network expand assets, scale the RWA market, and transform global capital flows
