This is bigger than most people realize.
$CNTN - a publicly traded company - issued their stock natively on @CantonNetwork , using the technology that @fairmint has been building for 7 years.
Then this stock was seeded as liquidity to an AMM pool from @tradecraftfi and market makers DRW and @flowdesk_co started making markers in the pool, utilizing @canton_loop as the wallet.
This feels straight from the future, but it's real and it's the first time.
Today the first live trades of actual tokenized NMS stock were executed on @tradecraftfi. $USDCx for $CNTN. prnewswire.com/news-releases…
Firsts like this are always the work of many hands and I'm thankful for everyone who made this happen.
Finally we can now reward all of those who do the hard work online. Go out and keep doing you research:)
Introducing the Canton Community Research Grants.
A new discretionary program supporting independent research, education, and advocacy that helps people understand @CantonNetwork, from tokenomics and technical analysis to institutional use cases and educational content.

Something someone now :)

We are experiencing the first step out of the Sandbox environment blockchain industry has been for the last 15 years. Congrats @fairmint @CantonStrategic and all @CantonNetwork crew

Also, forgot to mention the chads at TSV that are working non stop on this. Thank you @tradecraftfi @aliabrar @RyanTrinkle
We had CBTC. Now we have BETH :) welcome
Welcome to Loop Wallet, BETH! 🤝
BitSafe’s 1:1 ETH backed asset, BETH, is live on @CantonNetwork and supported on Loop Wallet from day one.
Your BETH, in a wallet only you control.

Congratulations @BitSafe_Finance 👏

Posts like this make it quite clear that canton-network:native is consuming growing space rent-free in the minds of some. What could they be worried about… the possibility that Canton becomes the primary settlement layer for traditional finance? Your leader @VitalikButerin told you guys that ethereum:native was never built to go after that. Why so much FUD?
This is a well thought out and written piece 👏
You spread blatant propaganda when it fits your hopes. The answer to his misleading statements:

Big enough:)
Can someone please research how big the uncleared swaps market is?
What’s really cool about this project is that swaps are multi-year contracts requiring daily maintenance. When it all happens on-chain, there’s no need to reconcile. Money gets returned faster, which is more efficient.
Expect more firms to join soon and on-chain volumes to increase. This is super exciting.
Thank you to the great partners who made this possible: @SPGlobal @KaikoData @MarexGlobal @DRWTrading @CantonNetwork canton-network:native

French people are known for their rebellious spirit. One of them who I’m privileged to call a friend @ambresoub just took the stage at BIG from @Bpifrance and here is her writeup. Worth 6.5 mins of your time.

Hello 👋
[Re]introducing Five North.
Today Five North and Loop become two names with a clear line between them. Five North is the fund and the operator. Loop is real-time asset infrastructure for Canton.
Five North (fivenorth.io) runs Canton Super Validator infrastructure, builds the tooling to run it, and puts capital into the teams building on the network.
We help run the network we invest in.
Loop (looptech.io) is the product side, now together as Loop Suite.
Loop Wallet, at wallet.looptech.io.
Lighthouse is now Loop Data, at data.looptech.io.
Loop SDK, alongside them.
Two new sites, built from the ground up. Every product renamed. An SDK release out to integrators ahead of today so nothing breaks on the way through.
Months of work for a day that should feel like nothing happened.
For users it does. Balances, logins and funds are unchanged, cantonloop.com keeps working, and moving across is opt-in and starts inside your wallet.

Too bad there is no some AI in there.
The cryptographic world computer:
vitalik.eth.limo/general/202…
My attempt to express in somewhat concise terms the true meaning of basically everything planned to happen to Ethereum starting from the fork after Hegota. It's really not just a blockchain anymore. It's a hybrid architecture that combines together blockchains and modern cryptography, to enable much more powerful properties.
FOCIL, EIP-8288, Lean consensus, state management, formal verification, advanced mempool improvements (including privacy), and the longer-term specter of obfuscation all mentioned.
Ferhat breaks it down for the builders 🫡
They Said No.
@CantonNetwork Built the Future Anyway.
For ten years, they heard the same answer.
"No, this won't work."
"No, we can't use this."
"No, our regulators won't allow it."
Banks. Financial institutions. Regulators. Market infrastructure providers.
The answer was always the same.
Then @YuvalRooz said something nobody expected:
"Every no we received made Canton better."
Because every rejection exposed another problem that had to be solved.
And the vision never changed. Not to build against the existing financial system, but to build alongside it.
Three principles, in the architecture from day one.
PRIVACY.
GOVERNANCE.
ECONOMICS.
─────
Then something changed.
After ten years of no, the answers started turning into yes.
@The_DTCC - @jpmorgan -@GoldmanSachs - @HSBC @BNPParibas - @Nasdaq -@Visa - Broadridge.
DTCC announced plans to move U.S. Treasuries and equities on Canton, 24/7.
JPMorgan took steps toward tokenized deposits.
Goldman Sachs moved forward with its digital asset platform.
More than 650 companies have connected to Canton Network over the past two years.
But the real story is bigger than token prices or transaction volumes.
It is a financial infrastructure where privacy sits inside the architecture, where no single company holds control, and where traditional finance and the blockchain world finally stand on the same rails.
Back in 1996, nobody plugging a computer into the internet could picture what would one day run across it.
We may be standing at exactly that point with Canton.
"We built the infrastructure. Only you can build the network."
─────
And this is where the people who bring that technology to life come in.
@bc1pxxx @evanvar, @wesarn_real , @ShaulKfir , @HeslinKim , @Emmett_ @mikebelshe John Antoniou, Chris Zuehlke, Germán Soto Sanchez ...
@FiveNorthHQ @temple_ny , @ZenithFdn , @CumberlandSays ,@BitGo @yzilabs @circle @AlpendHQ @CantonFdn Broadridge , and every developer, Super Validator team and community working across the Canton ecosystem, every single day.
Because the true value of infrastructure comes from what people build on top of it.

Canton Network is ready.
Are the rest of us?

Sounds scary the way you present it so I’ll try to make it a bit less.
- “Early insiders" = the operators who ran the network and paid to bootstrap it when everyone else said no thanks.
They earned CC by doing the work, not through an allocation. Same as Bitcoin miners in year one.
- Scarcity:
Canton runs on burn-mint equilibrium. Every fee paid to use the network is burned. Issuance is capped and scheduled. As usage grows, burns outpace minting and supply contracts. Scarcity is earned through real activity, not promised through a fixed cap.
- Volatility and speculation:
you're right, the design suppresses both. That's a bug if you're here to trade and a feature if you're an institution settling real value. Durable value comes from usage, not flipping.
- On the "100 wallets": look at who they are. Super validators who bootstrapped the network, custodians like BitGo holding for their clients, and exchanges holding for their users. One custody or exchange wallet can represent thousands of holders. Counting wallets isn't counting owners, on any chain.
Paul really didn’t like his response @YuvalRooz :)
