TL;DR:
- WalletConnect integrated with Canton Network, connecting its ecosystem of over 700 wallets and 70,000 apps with tokenized institutional assets.
- The network processes more than $350 billion in assets daily. Firms like Goldman Sachs, DTCC and Franklin Templeton already operate on its network.
- The integration will enable 24-hour collateral movement, onchain payments with privacy and access to DeFi protocols with institutional custody.
WalletConnect officially integrated with Canton Network. The incorporation allows any wallet, digital asset custodian or application compatible with the protocol to connect directly to the network’s institutional ecosystem, eliminating the technical limitations that had until now hindered interoperability between traditional finance and the DeFi ecosystem.
Canton Network processes more than $350 billion in assets daily. Top-tier institutions such as Goldman Sachs, DTCC, Franklin Templeton, Circle, Fireblocks and BitGo operate on the network with active assets, applications and services. The integration makes that universe an accessible destination for the millions of users in the WalletConnect ecosystem, which groups together more than 700 wallet providers and over 70,000 onchain applications.
Canton: Institutional Privacy and an Adoption Boom
Canton’s technical edge lies in its combination of configurable privacy and composability. Under the “need-to-know” principle, transactions are not broadcast publicly, which allows sensitive financial operations —such as payroll payments, global settlements and treasury management— to be executed without exposing strategies or positions.
Wallets and custodians will be able to offer their users a service of instant collateral transfers, atomic swaps, stablecoin issuance and redemption on demand and continuous financing. Crypto assets with institutional custody, such as tokenized versions of BTC and ETH, can be used as collateral within institutional workflows and as a gateway to next-generation DeFi protocols, including lending markets and prediction platforms.
Seamless Connectivity Across Multiple Devices
The WalletConnect integration offers a single connection that grants access to Canton’s entire wallet and application ecosystem, reducing implementation times. Users benefit from cross-device authentication, eliminating the need for constant reconnections, with signatures executable in a single click.
Canton is a convergence point between institutional financial infrastructure and decentralized protocols. The network is ready to take real-world asset tokenization to the next level.
