Canton Foundation

The official shareholder record, kept on-chain by an SEC-registered transfer agent. @Fairmint is extending its onchain transfer agent services to public companies, building on the Open Cap Table Protocol it developed on @CantonNetwork. Each issuer authorizes the move, and shareholders keep the same rights.

A milestone for @The_DTCC and for every firm that helped get the Tokenization Service to production. Tokenized representations of DTC-custodied securities are now live on @CantonNetwork.

Canton Foundation is expanding its engagement in Taiwan. We’ve signed an MOU with the Institute for Information Industry, welcomed Taiwan Depository & Clearing Corporation (TDCC) as a Foundation Member, and formed a strategic partnership with the Digital Asset and Future Capital Market Association of Taiwan (DAFCMAT). “We hope to bring global experience into local discussions, identify practical needs and build a foundation for progress through training, workshops and ongoing dialogue.” said @0xThomasChou, Head of APAC at Canton Foundation.

New date for our Universal Burn X Space. Join @DigitalAsset’s @ShaulKfir and @FiveNorthHQ’s @Naperian_e, the authors of CIP-0129, for a live X Space on what’s changing and what it means for @CantonNetwork, moderated by @Viv_Diwakar. We’ve moved it to allow a longer session with more time for community Q&A. Nov 3 | 2:00 PM ET | 19:00 UTC

Let's take a look at this past week in the Canton ecosystem. ▫️ CIP-0129, Universal Burn and Synchronizer Pricing, was approved. ▫️ Dev Hub V3 went live, with an AI-first interface that lets builders ask about any CIP and find the right tools to build on it. ▫️Canton Foundation, @Ledger, and @OpenZeppelin announced the Devcon Builders Evening in Mumbai on November 5. ▫️Canton Foundation announced collaborations with blockchain stakeholders in Taiwan, including work on tokenized Taiwanese assets. ▫️The Tokenomics Committee approved new Featured App guidance for network participants. ▫️@KaikoData joined the UK Treasury’s Wholesale Digital Markets Champion Taskforce, alongside @digitalasset.

The Protocol Development Fund comes with reporting requirements written into governance. Under CIP-0100, the Foundation publishes quarterly reports covering receipts, balances, commitments, disbursements, and outcomes, alongside an annual audit or attestation.

Another Update 🚨 We’ve received dozens of questions from the community and want to give each of them the time they deserve, so we’re moving the Space to a later date. New day and time coming soon.
