Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Canton Network?

The Canton Network is a privacy-enabled public blockchain purpose-built for regulated finance. It allows financial institutions to connect tokenized assets, collateral, and payments across interoperable applications with the privacy and control required for global financial markets. Trillions in tokenized assets are already issued or processed on Canton, spanning bonds, money markets, loan commitments, and insurance.

What is Canton Coin?

Canton Coin is the native token of the Canton Network. It powers network activity such as transaction fees, bandwidth management, and participation incentives. Institutions use Canton Coin to access and synchronize applications, fund settlements, and interact with utilities and services across the ecosystem, including tokenized assets, stablecoins, and financial applications.

Why does Canton Coin matter to institutions?

Canton Coin enables secure, compliant participation in onchain financial markets built for institutional use. It represents access to a regulated ecosystem where banks, asset managers, custodians, and market infrastructure providers can operate seamlessly with privacy, composability, and control.

What makes the Canton Network unique?

Canton is the only Layer 1 blockchain that combines:

  • Privacy: Only relevant stakeholders see and validate their parts of a transaction, even across multiple applications.

  • Interoperability: Atomic smart contract calls allow assets to move and settle across independent applications in one operation.

  • Control: Institutions maintain operational control rather than relying on shared validators, reducing counterparty and data risks. This design bridges traditional and digital finance, allowing compliant capital markets to operate onchain.

How is BitGo involved?

BitGo is the first U.S.-based qualified custodian to offer qualified custody for Canton Coin. Institutions can now hold and manage Canton Coin legally and compliantly within BitGo’s regulated framework. BitGo’s infrastructure provides custody, self-custody, insurance, and compliance tooling to help institutions safely engage with the Canton ecosystem.

  • Self-Custody Deposits: Use hot wallets for onchain management and settlement.

  • Insurance Coverage: Protect large holdings with $250 million in insurance and multi-signature security.

  • Regulated Access: Hold Canton Coin legally and compliantly under a qualified custodian structure.

  • Token Standard Integration: Compatibility with the Canton tokenization framework for assets.

What new capabilities are coming soon?

  • Go Network Compatibility: Native interoperability with BitGo’s Go Network for multi-asset treasury operations.

  • Trading and Liquidity Access: Institutional trading and OTC functionality for Canton Coin and related assets.

These enhancements will enable end-to-end onchain workflows, from custody to liquidity, within a unified BitGo platform.

How does insurance work for Canton Coin holdings?

All Canton Coin assets in qualified custody with BitGo are covered by up to $250 million in insurance against theft or loss, backed by a leading insurance syndicate. Combined with BitGo’s multi-signature wallet architecture, this ensures institutional-grade protection and risk mitigation.

Can institutions use Canton Coin for stablecoin and tokenized asset transactions?

Yes. The Canton Network supports tokenized assets, collateralized lending, and stablecoin-based settlements across its ecosystem. Canton Coin acts as the utility and bandwidth token that facilitates these activities while maintaining privacy and compliance. BitGo’s anticipated support for stablecoins and token standards will further expand how institutions use Canton Coin within these workflows.

Who is already using the Canton Network?

Canton is trusted by major financial institutions and ecosystem partners, including banks, custodians, tokenization providers, and digital asset firms. Applications already live on Canton include tokenized cash equivalents (USYC), stablecoin issuers (Brale), and infrastructure providers like Kiln and BitSafe, among others.
