Canton Improvement Proposals

Hello everyone, Please review the proposed revision to CIP-0056: Canton Network Token Standard in PR #255 . The revision makes the following updates: Replaces outdated implementation references and fixes internal links. Corrects the introduction to reference one remaining Canton Coin limitation, matching the existing detailed specification. Clarifies that five of the six APIs apply to asset registries, while the allocation request API is implemented by apps. Updates the documented registry disco

Hi all, We are happy to share a proposal for how to implement on-chain SV and FA locks and their enforcement. You can find the full proposal in this PR: https://github.com/canton-foundation/cips/pull/250 Here is the abstract explaining its content and motivation: ----- This CIP serves to align the stakeholders of CIP-0105 (SV Locking) and CIP-0116 (FA Locking) on the implementation of on-chain enforcement of SV and FA locking. It is motivated by the fact that the concrete mechanisms chosen to im

Hi all, Shaul and I are sharing a draft CIP for discussion: Universal Burn and Synchronizer Pricing . Today, traffic on the Global Synchronizer burns CC and earns rewards for the apps and validators that generate it, while traffic on dedicated synchronizers has been paid for through license fees that sit outside the network’s economy. This CIP proposes that every synchronizer running production workloads burns CC at the Global Synchronizer’s list price, that apps and validators earn rewards on t

Hi everyone 👋 The team at Fairmint is proposing a standard way to represent unique assets on Canton . Most token standards are built around fungible assets, where one unit is interchangeable with another. But a lot of real-world assets and records don't work that way. A certificate, a credential, a specific contract/collateral, an entitlement, a claim, a piece of IP or a specific position in an asset . So we’ve been working on a draft CIP for an NFT profile built on CIP-0112 Token Standard V2 .

Hi everyone, As discussed in this week’s SIG Identity and Metadata meeting, I’d like to share two Early Draft proposals for feedback: Canton Network Credentials Standard Canton Network DID Standard We’re discussing this work with the Canton Foundation and some SVs, but those conversations are ongoing; these drafts do not represent agreed positions or endorsements. I’m sharing them here to get broader feedback. Credentials PR #204 sets out an important goal: a DSO credential registry that wallets

Hi all, Posting this as a draft for discussion before any implementation work. Canton’s need-to-know model protects transaction content. It does not hide the envelope: timing, ordering, message size and communication patterns remain observable, and that is enough for correlation attacks that reconstruct who transacted with whom, when and at roughly what size. The draft proposes four mechanisms at the synchronizer and sequencing layer. The load-bearing one is auditable cover traffic, which is an

We are sharing a draft CIP for discussion before opening a pull request. The proposal is that locked Canton Coin confers a direct, proportional claim on synchronizer throughput, denominated in absolute bytes per epoch and fixed for the term. Entitlement is sold by auction against a conservative capacity floor and separated into a tradeable utility strip and a capital strip. Issuance becomes a function of the commitment ratio rather than of elapsed time. Under CIP-0105 and CIP-0116, locked CC alr
