ETHConf week in New York is one of the best moments in the calendar to have the conversations that actually move things forward. @NorbertVadas, our Head of Product, will be there across the full week: @ethconf June 8-10, Canton Café by @CantonNetwork on June 9, the Rooftop Mixer with @Quantstamp on June 10, the Institutional DeFi Meetup, and the Link Learning Lab on June 11. If you're thinking seriously about where DeFi and institutional infrastructure converge, come find us. Zenith is building the native execution layer on Canton that connects EVM (and soon SVM) developer ecosystem to Canton's institutional infrastructure. Zth.

D² brings together research on DeFi protocol design, incentives, and market behavior Across two days, the program spans: → DeFi Microstructure → Perpetual Futures & Derivatives → Mechanism Design → Prediction Markets → AMMs Learn more: designingdefi.xyz

Cross-chain infrastructure has a vocabulary problem. The word "Atomic" appears in bridge protocols, HTLC swaps and interoperability solutions of every kind. It's being used to describe mechanisms that deliver fundamentally different guarantees, and the industry isn't being precise enough about the difference. > Economic atomicity is what most bridges and cross-chain swaps deliver. The smart contract guarantees an all-or-nothing outcome at the application layer, but both legs still settle on separate chains through separate consensus mechanisms. The guarantee depends on both parties behaving rationally within timelock windows that are measured in hours. When a validator gets compromised, a chain reorgs, an attacker locks counterparty capital and simply waits, the smart contract can't protect against any of it. The window of exposure between two separate settlement events is where the damage happens. > Consensus-level atomicity is what Zenith delivers. Both legs of a transaction are processed within the same single consensus mechanism as one indivisible operation. There is no window and no timelock. The protocol itself guarantees that both legs commit together or neither does, regardless of what either party does or what the infrastructure beneath them does. For consumer applications that distinction is manageable, but for institutional finance moving real capital across chain boundaries, it's the difference between infrastructure you can depend on and infrastructure that works until something goes wrong. The EVM execution adds a few hundred milliseconds to Canton's native finality time, that's the entire overhead. Compared to timelock windows measured in hours, the latency difference alone changes what's possible to build. We wrote the full breakdown about two flavours of atomic that are worth understanding clearly before you build on either: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.

Zenith is expanding and we're hiring two people to grow with us. > Business Development Associate: shape Zenith's launch by managing inbound client relationships, qualifying partnerships, and building the workflows that keep everything moving. You're organized, relationship-driven, and fluent in both Web3 and institutional finance conversations. platform.zenith.network/appl… > Head of Security (Engineering): own security end-to-end across our full stack. This is a deeply technical role: threat modeling, vulnerability research, incident response, secure architecture from blockchain protocol layer to cloud infrastructure. platform.zenith.network/appl… If you want to work at the forefront of where DeFi meets institutional finance with an ambitious team playing the long game, we'd love to hear from you.

Blockchains still broadcast every transaction publicly. Every stablecoin payment leaks the amount, the sender, and the recipient. We’re excited to share that Tempo is building Zones for businesses that need privacy: private blockchains that are interoperable with the rest of Tempo for stablecoin use cases like payroll, treasury, and settlement.

Every design decision at Zenith comes back to one core principle: execution should reinforce the base layer, not fragment it. That’s why every EVM (and soon SVM) transaction on Zenith is routed through Canton and executed as part of Canton's native transaction flow. All sub-operations succeed together or revert together. $CC burned at the base layer. When you ship on Zenith, you ship on Canton. Not a layer on top of it. Not a sidechain extracting from it. @CantonNetwork itself, extended with EVM and SVM execution while keeping the economic loop completely intact. The end game was always atomic composability. Zth.

🚨 VISA JOINS CANTON NETWORK AS SUPER VALIDATOR 🚨 Visa is deepening its roots in blockchain industry, from launching the Visa Tokenized Asset Platform (VTAP) and expanding stablecoin settlement capabilities to milestones on @CantonNetwork. @Visa is one of the most important financial institutions in the world, operating at the center of global payments with unparalleled scale, reliability, and trust. As the backbone of electronic payments for consumers, merchants, financial institutions, and governments, Visa enables trillions of dollars of value exchange annually across borders, currencies, and use cases.  Their stats are staggering: ➜ $595B market cap ➜ ~$40B annual revenue ➜ >$16.7 TRILLION in total volume processed (payments cash) in FY 2025 ➜ 4.9 BILLION payment credentials (cards/accounts) in circulation worldwide ➜ >220 countries and territories covered, and peak capacity of 65,000 transactions per second We can only imagine with this integration to the global synchronizer Visa may be bridging the world’s largest payment rails at massive global scale to @CantonNetwork. Their Super Validator is set a weight of 10. They now will sit at the same table as @The_DTCC, @Nasdaq, and @zenithfdn. The future of money flows is programmable, instant, truly global, and clearly blockchain bound. As Cuy Sheffield, @cuysheffield, Head of Crypto at Visa, stated: “Visa is committed to meeting businesses where they operate, and increasingly, that’s onchain.” Where do we see the congregation of businesses meeting onchain? @CantonNetwork Zth. This is what public governance looks like in practice: lists.sync.global/g/cip-disc…

Blockchain infrastructure expert Norbert Vadas takes the stage to explore "Zenith: connecting the Ethereum ecosystem with Canton" at the RWA Tokenisation track. This connection could unlock new possibilities for real-world asset tokenization across previously siloed blockchain networks.
