Canton, the public blockchain built for institutional finance, announced its live deployment of Chainlink’s data standard via Data Streams, SmartData, and Proof of Reserve. Institutions can now access the real-time pricing, valuation, collateral verification, and asset-backing assurances required to support lending, margining, settlement, and risk management across regulated markets.
Launched in 2024 and governed by the Canton Foundation with participation from leading global financial institutions, Canton has become one of the top ecosystems supporting regulated tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), underpinning more than $8 trillion in RWAs and processing ~$350 billion in daily U.S. Treasury repo transactions.
Paired with Chainlink’s industry-leading decentralized oracle network, which has enabled over $28 trillion dollars in transaction value, Canton is uniquely positioned to bring institutional finance onchain.
In 2025, Canton formed a strategic partnership with Chainlink and joined the Chainlink Scale program to accelerate its ecosystem growth through enhanced access to Chainlink’s web3 services. Chainlink Labs is also a Canton Super Validator, contributing to vital network functions including governance, transaction sequencing, and the Global Synchronizer interoperability layer that supports integration with traditional financial systems.
The Canton ecosystem can now utilize SmartData’s NAV and AUM feeds, Proof of Reserve’s real-time reserve verification, and Data Stream’s low-latency market data including Chainlink’s recently launched 24/5 Equities Streams, which unlock the ~$80 trillion U.S. stock market onchain. Canton also announced plans to integrate Chainlink’s Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to enable secure cross-chain transfer of RWAs.
Canton ecosystem partners such as CBTC by BitSafe, Unhedged, Thetanuts Finance, Kairo by AngelHack, and Temple are already leveraging Canton’s privacy capabilities with Chainlink’s industry-leading data to facilitate use cases such as high-utility onchain collateral, decentralized options, and privacy-preserving prediction markets.
“It’s been exciting to see how quickly the Canton ecosystem has embraced Chainlink’s data and interoperability standards in real-world production use cases,” said Eric Saraniecki, co-founder and Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset, the creator of Canton Network.
“We’ve seen positive momentum and continue to expand the range of offerings available to the ecosystem to facilitate additional growth.”
“Together with Chainlink, Canton is enabling regulated markets to move onchain with the security and reliability needed to operate at scale,” added Johann Eid, Chainlink Labs’ Chief Business Officer.
“This is a defining step toward institutional finance operating fully onchain, powered by the same Chainlink infrastructure that has already enabled tens of trillions in transaction value.”
