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 Japanese Yen (JPY) is the official currency of Japan and one of the most traded fiat currencies worldwide. Issued by the Bank of Japan (BOJ), the yen plays a crucial role in global finance, particularly in foreign exchange markets and international trade. As a safe-haven currency, JPY is often sought after during economic uncertainty. In the crypto world, JPY is used as a trading pair on some exchanges and has inspired stablecoins like JPY-backed digital assets.
