About

Canton is a public, permissioned blockchain network where each application runs its own privacy-preserving sub-ledger. The Global Synchronizer guarantees atomic settlement across these sub-ledgers without exposing transaction details — a property that lets institutions tokenize repos, treasuries and deposits while honoring regulatory privacy requirements that public Layer-1s can't.
