I extracted the core project information using Gemini: @CantonNetwork
Canton Network is a privacy-focused public blockchain financial infrastructure tailored for institutions. It aims to connect isolated traditional finance (TradFi) and the crypto ecosystem, enabling seamless, secure, and compliant asset flows. It supports diverse financial scenarios such as B2B payments, RWA (Real-World Asset Tokenization), and cross-border settlements. It has received support from top institutions such as Goldman Sachs and HSBC and has been put into practical application.
Ecosystem and Support
• Developed by Digital Asset, jointly launched and used by top financial institutions (such as Goldman Sachs and HSBC).
• Possesses a powerful validator network (including hundreds of super validators), running trillions of dollars in assets, making it a mature production environment. Token Issuance: Fair Launch, No Pre-allocation
Canto chooses a Fair Launch approach:
No pre-mining, no VC
All tokens come from real contributions
50% to application developers
35% to infrastructure providers (super validators)
15% to real users of the network
Core Mechanism: Burn-Mint, not one-way inflation
Canto's token model is not a simple token issuance subsidy, but a closed-loop system:
The more you use, the more you burn;
The more you contribute, the more you are eligible to be minted and taken away.
🧵Burn: All usage activities first burn tokens
When users on Canto:
• Use applications
• Call infrastructure
• Conduct transactions
They need to pay in Canto Coin, denominated in USD.
But these fees are not paid directly to the service providers,
but are directly burned.
👉 Usage = Reduces circulating supply.
🧵Mint: The system then "pays" contributors
Where do the rewards for developers, nodes, and infrastructure providers come from?
👉 The protocol rewards users with new coins based on their actual contributions.
Essentially:
• Users pay the network by "burning" coins
• The network then distributes the value to those who truly create utility.
Less usage → Less burning → Less coin minting
More usage → More burning → But only contributors receive new coins.
