Subscribe to our newsletter

The Canton Network, a permissionless blockchain designed for institutional finance, has entered a strategic partnership with oracle platform Chainlink. The collaboration aims to accelerate the adoption of the Canton Network ecosystem by financial institutions. As part of the agreement, the Canton Network will join the Chainlink Scale programme and integrate key services, including Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Chainlink Labs will also operate as a Super Validator on the network.

This partnership provides institutions using Canton with access to Chainlink’s established infrastructure, which secures over $100B in assets across the digital economy. Under the Scale programme, the Canton Network will cover certain operating costs for Chainlink oracle nodes, thereby enhancing its own connectivity, resilience, and transparency. The move is designed to support further innovation in tokenised assets, stablecoins, and digital identity solutions on the network, which already supports over $6T in on-chain assets and processes $280bn in daily repos.
