Digital Asset, alongside several traditional financial firms and technology giants, are partnering to launch Canton Network — a privacy-enabled blockchain network designed for institutional assets.

According to a May 9 press statement, the new network would be launched in July when the network participants  — which include the likes of Goldman Sachs, Cumberland, S&P Global, SBI Digital Asset Holdings, Umbrage, Microsoft, Paxos, Deloitte, CBOE, and others —  would test its interoperability capabilities across a range of applications and use cases.

With Canton Network’s design, traditional financial institutions can offer users new innovative products and experience a safer and reconciliation-free environment where assets, data, and cash can synchronize freely across applications.

“[Canton Network] creates a ‘network of networks’, allowing previously siloed systems in financial markets to interoperate with the appropriate governance, privacy, permissioning and controls required for highly regulated industries.”

A Deloitte Consulting principal, Joseph Cody, said the blockchain network is the first of its kind, adding that the Canton Network can help with the “tokenization of assets, facilitating rapid cross-organizational settlement, creating new marketplaces, and establishing an immutable record of shared data, and facilitating secure transactions.”

Canton is built on Digital Asset’s smart contract language, Daml.
