Key Canton Concepts
Network of networks
Canton links many ledgers and applications into one interoperable network, coordinated through synchronization domains and a Global Synchronizer.
Privacy by design
Parties only see the contracts and fields they are entitled to, supporting "need‑to‑know" data sharing for regulated markets.
Atomic settlement
Assets, cash, and reference data can move across multiple applications as a single transaction, reducing settlement and reconciliation risk.
Daml smart contracts
Business logic and permissions are encoded directly in Daml, making workflows and access rules explicit and auditable.
Institutional infrastructure
Validators, wallets, and operational controls must meet regulatory‑grade uptime, security, and governance expectations.
Super Validator
Super Validators maintain neutral, transparent, and fair governance within Canton.
