Coin Metrics is proud to announce that we have joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator, reinforcing our commitment to providing the highest-quality blockchain intelligence to institutional markets. This collaboration marks a significant step in our mission to advance the security, transparency, and efficiency of financial transactions on blockchain networks.
The Canton Network is the first privacy-enabled, interoperable blockchain network designed specifically for institutional finance, enabling secure and compliant tokenization, settlement, and data synchronization across financial applications while maintaining the necessary privacy and controls institutions require. By connecting previously siloed systems, Canton unlocks new efficiencies for digital asset issuance, trading, and settlement, allowing institutions to harness the power of blockchain technology without compromising security or regulatory compliance.
A number of leading financial institutions, including the world’s largest banks, have already built out production applications on the Canton Network, and it is quickly emerging as a key infrastructure for modernizing financial services. As traditional finance accelerates its adoption of blockchain technology, the network is proving its ability to bring greater efficiency, security, and interoperability to capital markets while ensuring compliance and control. As a Super Validator, we will play a critical role in ensuring transparency, security, and operational reliability across the Global Synchronizer—a key component of the Canton Network that enables seamless, privacy-preserving, and compliant financial transactions between blockchain applications.
The Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF), which oversees the Global Synchronizer, coordinates the work of Super Validators to promote transparency, fairness, and accountability. By becoming a Super Validator, Coin Metrics will actively participate in governance and decision-making processes that shape the future of the Canton Network. This includes voting on important matters related to network governance, code, and services, ensuring the network continues to meet the highest standards of reliability and trustworthiness.
Our deep expertise in on-chain data, market data, and risk management will help ensure that transactions within the Canton Network are transparent, auditable, and verifiable—laying the foundation for a more efficient and resilient financial system as we bring new metrics and insight to the ecosystem. Coin Metrics also commits to bringing new sources of data to the Canton Network and its application providers.
“The future of institutional finance depends on trust, transparency, and secure blockchain infrastructure,” said Tim Rice, CEO of Coin Metrics. “Joining the Canton Network as a Super Validator is a first step as we continue on our mission to bring clarity to crypto and empower institutions with the highest-quality blockchain data. We’re excited to build on this initial role to bring more insight to the great application development occurring on the Canton network and contribute to a network that is shaping the next generation of financial markets.”
Stay tuned as we continue to innovate and expand our role in shaping the institutional crypto landscape.
