Canton Network integrates Chainlink to bolster institutional adoption
Canton Network has integrated with Chainlink, tapping into the oracle platform’s solutions to accelerate institutional adoption.
- Canton Network has integrated Chainlink to leverage solutions like Data Streams and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol to accelerate adoption.
- The strategic partnership also sees Chainlink Labs join Canton Network as a super validator.
- Chainlink’s total value secured recently hit $100 billion.
Canton, a permissionless blockchain for institutional finance, is joining forces with Chainlink amid a strategic partnership that will see it adopt Chainlink’s Data Streams, SmartData and cross-chain interoperability protocol, as well as join the Chainlink Scale program.
The platform’s integration of data streams and CCIP among other solutions will help bolster overall adoption of the Canton Network by institutions, the team said in a blog post. Chainlink (LINK)’s footprint in the decentralized finance market has seen its total value secured surpass $100 billion, while its network has powered over $25 trillion in transaction value.
Canton Network’s move to join the Chainlink Scale program enables it to bring the oracle network’s services to institutions, with key benefits including cost-efficient and secure integration. As for expansion, Cantom says it includes leveraging Chainlink to advance adoption of tokenized assets, stablecoins, payments, and digital identity on the Canton Network.
“By bringing its community and solutions to Canton, Chainlink not only strengthens our governance and resilience, but also broadens the opportunities for innovators across traditional and decentralized finance,” said Yuval Rooz, chief executive officer of Digital Asset.
Adoption by large banks and financial institutions
Canton Network counts major banks and financial heavyweights among its participants, including BNP Paribas, HSBC, Bank of America, Bank of China, Banco Santander, Morgan Stanley, SBI Digital Asset Holdings, and Nasdaq.
The blockchain processes roughly $280 billion in daily repos and runs on an ecosystem of more than 500 validators, including 30 designated super validators.
One of those, Chainlink Labs, brings its widely adopted infrastructure—already integrated by Swift, Mastercard, Fidelity International, Euroclear, UBS, and ANZ, as well as top DeFi protocols Aave and GMX—to the network.
