The Current State of the Blockchain Space
A lack of interoperability and ease of communication between blockchain applications has impeded the next wave of change in financial sector productivity.
Disparate solutions from a variety of blockchain technologies have emerged, but enterprises typically struggle with the most essential piece of the puzzle: making these solutions work and communicate with one another.
The financial services industry is an area where these innovations have some of the most significant near-term potential. However, the industry is also constrained by high standards of privacy, security, and efficiency, adding to an already sizable challenge.
What does Digital Asset’s Canton Network represent for the industry?
The Canton Network represents a new approach to DLT underpinned by the Daml smart contract language. It balances the decentralization of a network with the requisite privacy and controls for the financial sector. Canton's technology enables traditionally siloed systems to become interoperable and synchronized. This offers a safer, reconciliation-free environment for the synchronization of assets and data across applications, allowing businesses to innovate and offer value without compromising risk management.
Canton Network supports the creation of private networks within the public network. This allows organizations to create their own private ledgers that can synchronize with other ledgers (both public and private) via the Canton protocol. This provides significant value for use cases that require a combination of public transparency and private confidentiality.
The Canton Network addresses key blockchain challenges:
● Canton is designed to be horizontally scalable. It can handle a large number of transactions and participants, making it suitable for large-scale, global applications
● It ensures privacy and control over data for regulated participants on the same network
● Canton enables both control and interoperability without compromising application ownership
● It also offers privacy features that can enhance the security of blockchain applications by ensuring that sensitive data is only shared with necessary parties
IntellectEU-Canton Projects
IntellectEU are experts in Canton and Daml implementations. Our teams have designed, built, and scaled a variety of enterprise solutions leveraging this technology stack, including:
Tokenization Platform
IntellectEU designed and is developing a tokenization platform using Digital Asset’s Canton Network and Daml smart contracts. The team is leveraging the Daml finance library to streamline the onboarding, custody, structuring, issuance, transfer, trading, clearing, and settlement workflows.
Daml-based Repo Platform
IntellectEU assisted in the development of a distributed repo platform for the global capital markets using Daml. The platform creates a single view for all participants throughout the lifecycle of the trade and allows for reductions in transactional risk as well as operational and cost efficiencies. This improves the way participants track the status of their repos, while also enforcing deadlines and possible penalties in cases of non-compliance.
Crypto Trade Settlement Solution
IntellectEU is closely collaborating with a large North American exchange on using smart contracts to automate the settlement of crypto trades. Participants developed a proof-of-concept using Daml smart contracts that streamlined the onboarding, clearing, netting, and settlement processes.
