The Canton Network’s Global Synchronizer and Canton Coin Go Live

The Launch of the Network’s First Public Infrastructure and its Utility Token, Canton Coin, Mark a Series of Industry Firsts

ZURICH – July 1, 2024 – Leading market participants powering the Canton Network proudly announce the go-live of the Global Synchronizer, the Canton Network’s decentralized interoperability infrastructure. This launch marks a pivotal step towards unlocking the full potential of synchronized financial markets, providing first-of-its-kind connectivity for the tokenization and frictionless exchange of regulated financial assets and liabilities. The Global Synchronizer is going live after ten years of technological development, nearly a year of extensive testing— including powering the recent Canton Pilot program—and following each of the anchoring Network participants, known as super validators, voting in favor of the launch.

There is a growing industry need to deliver near-term efficiencies for the highest concentrations of tokenized assets, while also facilitating new opportunities as more applications and liquidity are brought on-chain. Canton Network delivers on both value propositions: it features the highest number of live use cases of real-world assets and is the only network that can handle the on-chain privacy, control, and interoperability of participants and their corresponding asset flows.
