Rewiring Finance: The Rise of AllFi
For years, institutions exploring blockchain technology were forced to choose between public networks with transparency but no privacy, and private ledgers that solved data concerns but introduced fragmentation and siloed workflows.
The Canton Network breaks this impasse.
Purpose-built for financial markets, Canton enables decentralized workflows with institutional-grade privacy, enabling traditional and decentralized finance (TradFi and DeFi) to transact on shared rails without compromise.
By decoupling transaction validation from ordering, Canton ensures that sensitive data is kept private while maintaining real-time, atomic settlement across applications. This architecture connects what were once isolated systems eliminating the need for risky bridges and manual reconciliation.
And it isn’t just theoretical. Canton is live and trusted.
Real Adoption at Institutional Scale
The Canton Network is already trusted by leading global institutions including Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Deutsche Börse Group. The best proof point is Broadridge’s Distributed Ledger Repo (DLR), which uses Canton’s privacy-first architecture to settle over $4 trillion in U.S. Treasury repos monthly.
This success has catalyzed a growing ecosystem of builders, creating interoperable, institutional-grade applications across trading, issuance, compliance, and data. Here is the complete map of applications shaping this emerging AllFi economy.

Why It Matters
The Canton Network is redefining digital finance with reconciliation-free workflows. Institutions can transact privately, settle atomically, and integrate with minimal operational lift.
Unlike previous blockchain models, Canton doesn’t force trade-offs between privacy, interoperability, and compliance. It bridges the gap between on-chain automation and real-world financial infrastructure.
This isn’t just another network. It’s a blueprint for regulated, synchronized market infrastructure.
A Synchronized Financial Stack in Action
These applications form an interconnected ecosystem that reflects how real institutions operate:
A fund manager can use Register Labs to manage compliance documentation, issue a bond through Obligate, trade assets via CantonSwap, manage accounting in Bitwave, and conduct private audits using Noves.
All actions are secured, compliant, and settled on a unified ledger without reconciliation friction or redundant workflows.
