Canton Network is a blockchain-infrastructure protocol developed by Digital Asset with the aim of enabling secure, privacy-enabled and interoperable transactions across institutions and networks.

Unlike traditional public chains that replicate all data across every node, Canton’s architecture supports a “network of networks” model where independent participant nodes and synchronization domains coordinate to ensure atomic multi-party workflows, preserve confidentiality, and enable composability.

At its core, the protocol supports applications written in the open-source smart-contract language Daml, allowing organizations to define rights, obligations and permissions explicitly—and then enforce them within the ledger while controlling data visibility.

The Australian Dollar (AUD) is the official currency of Australia, issued by the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA). AUD is often influenced by commodity exports like gold and iron ore. Australia has a strong blockchain industry, and AUD-backed stablecoins provide a way to transact in crypto while maintaining value stability.
