May Ecosystem Update 👀 ◽ CIP-0116: Featured App Locking. A new governance framework requiring Featured Apps to lock 5M CC (or 25M CC for higher reward tiers), with a 30-day compliance window and 60-day unlock period. ◽ 166 new validator operators approved, continuing to expand the decentralized infrastructure powering @CantonNetwork. ◽ Unified developer documentation launched. Role-based learning paths, consolidated SDKs and tooling references, and a built-in AI assistant to help builders navigate the full development stack. ◽ @OneSwapCC approved as a Featured App, joining the growing set of applications building on Canton. ◽ The Canton Foundation team attended @SEABWOfficial in Bangkok, connecting with builders and institutions across the APAC region. ◽ First Canton Builder Office Hours completed, opening a direct line between the Foundation and developers building on the network. Six milestones in just one month. The Canton Network ecosystem continues to grow, govern, and build.

117 CIPs approved. Protocol 35 rolling out. Featured App Locking now in effect. Canton’s governance process has covered validator weight adjustments, token standard upgrades, app reward structures, and locking requirements. As the network continues to scale, what should governance prioritize next?

From capital markets to onchain innovation, @cantonfdn is helping shape what's next. Find their booth at ETHGlobal New York, say hello to the team, and explore what institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure looks like. 🙌

Did you know that @DedgeSecurity is the only Security Posture Management (SPM) platform built natively for digital asset infrastructure, continuous security from code commit to on-chain deployment. As a Member of Canton Foundation, Dedge secures the infrastructure layer that institutions and builders on the Global Synchronizer depend on. What they bring to Canton: → Autonomous smart contract security analysis with real-time findings mapped across the full deployment lifecycle → Continuous risk detection embedded directly into institutional build and deployment workflows → Full-stack posture coverage across tokenized asset infrastructure — contracts, nodes, wallets, and signing authority → Audit-ready evidence for regulated institutions operating on-chain Canton is where institutional tokenized assets, collateral mobility, and interoperable settlement come together. Dedge ensures the security posture behind that infrastructure meets the same standard.

ICYMI: @0xBlockBooster joined the Canton Foundation as a member, alongside other leading global institutions. As a member, BlockBooster will participate in Foundation governance, contribute to ecosystem development, and expand its on-chain asset management footprint across private credit, tokenized funds, and other real-world asset categories on @CantonNetwork. When asset managers join the same governance table as the world's largest custodians and settlement systems, it signals where institutional infrastructure is heading.

As of June 11, 2026, 31.5% of Canton Network daily burn was produced by Temple's central limit orderbook

If you're building at @ETHGlobal, join our @CantonNetwork Workshop w/ @JPandya26 tomorrow at 3 PM EST. If you're considering the Canton Foundation bounty, this is where you start. The workshop covers Canton's architecture, the developer tooling, and how to deploy on DevNet before you write a single line of code.

A $355 million raise for @DigitalAsset brings 20 institutions, many already building on Canton, further into the ecosystem. The funding supports Canton's continued growth as infrastructure for regulated financial markets.

OpenZeppelin is bringing its security standard to @CantonNetwork We're building a secure contracts library, reference implementations, and developer tooling for Canton's privacy-first ecosystem, engineered for the most critical institutional use cases.

Canton Protocol 35 is now live on DevNet. All three Global Synchronizer networks are upgrading through a Logical Synchronizer upgrade from Protocol Version 34 to 35. DevNet is the first stage, confirmed today. Validators: Minimum Splice version for this upgrade is 0.6.5.

Canton Foundation's @0xTeagan is on the ground in Taipei, representing the ecosystem at Digital Asset Frontline: Trust Frameworks & Business Applications, sponsored by @Deloitte Taiwan. From Korea to Thailand to Taiwan, Canton's APAC presence continues to expand as institutional interest in tokenization and digital asset infrastructure accelerates across the region.

Daml Models from Splice 0.6.2 are now live on MainNet. This completes the rollout that began on DevNet May 19 and TestNet May 26. Validators and application builders operating on MainNet now have access to the updated model set. Splice 0.6.2 introduces foundational components for Logical Synchronizers, the upgrade mechanism that will allow protocol changes without pausing transaction processing.

Canton Foundation team is on the ground at @ETHConf. If you're building on @CantonNetwork, thinking about building on Canton, or just want to understand how sub-transaction privacy actually works, come say hello.
