Canton Analyst Overview

In this issue of Coin Metrics State of the Network, we provide an overview of the Canton Network and its native token, Canton Coin (CC), detailing how its tokenomics, issuance model and fee mechanisms align incentives across participants and support a growing set of institutional financial use-cases.

Key Takeaways:

  • Privacy & Interoperability through Selective Transparency
    Canton’s public-permissioned design enables institutions to transact privately on independent ledgers while remaining interoperable through the Global Synchronizer. This selective transparency gives participants control over data visibility while enabling seamless cross-application settlement.
  • Canton Coin: Aligning Incentives & Network Utility
    Canton Coin (CC) employs a mint-and-burn model that aligns economic incentives with network activity, rewarding participation while offsetting supply through usage-based burns. Over time, rewards evolve from infrastructure operators to application providers as the network matures.
  • A Network of Networks for Institutional Adoption
    With its “network of networks” architecture, Canton forms a scalable, interconnected ecosystem to support a growing set of institutional financial use-cases, from tokenization to collateral mobility and beyond.
