This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP-0101) aims to add Finoa as a Super Validator (SV) of Weight 3, enabling the company to deepen its impact on the Canton ecosystem and expand its role from an infrastructure provider to a distribution and platform partner. Finoa, a leading European digital asset infrastructure provider, has a proven track record of operational excellence and institutional-grade risk management. As a Super Validator, Finoa will implement a phased roadmap to integrate Canton-native assets into its regulated custody platform, enhancing the Canton ecosystem's security and reliability.

This CIP-0100 establishes the governance framework for the CIP-0082 Development Fund, which is a 5% fund set aside for long-term investment in the Canton protocol. The fund will be managed by the Foundation, with community participation through Foundation processes, and will require quarterly reports and annual audits. The governance structure prioritizes strategic topics and sets up contributors for success, ensuring the fund's effectiveness and rate are formally reviewed every 12 months.

This Canton Improvement Proposal, CIP-0099, modifies the adoption incentive structure to account for the deployment of USDCx instead of native USDC. The proposal extends the enablement period for USDCx integration and adjusts the incentive schedule to measure adoption on USDCx volume and other similar assets. This change provides additional time and flexibility for zerohash to meet the original milestones and outcomes.

This CIP-0098 proposal caps per-transaction Application Rewards at $1.50 to prevent outsized and asymmetric incentives during periods of low network activity. The cap ensures that rewards remain correlated to fee generation, maintaining a 50% positive expected value relative to fees in low-load periods. By capping rewards, the proposal strengthens the economic sustainability of the Featured App reward system while preserving incentives for genuine adoption.

This CIP-0097 proposal grants Nasdaq participation as a Super Validator (SV) with Weight 10, bringing credibility and alignment with traditional financial infrastructure to the Canton ecosystem. The proposal establishes a milestone-based program for Nasdaq to receive SV Weight for initiatives that advance the Canton ecosystem, with confidential commitments reviewed by the Accountability Committee. This participation is expected to contribute meaningfully to network governance and adoption.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0096) aims to mitigate the free rider problem by reducing liveness rewards for validators, encouraging participation and adding utility to the network. The proposal will gradually decrease liveness rewards over a four-stage schedule, culminating in a complete removal of liveness rewards on April 30. The changes will be implemented through four on-chain votes, with each stage taking effect on a specified timeline.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0095) aims to onboard Mesh, a global payments network, to Canton MainNet with rewards tied to successful integration, early readiness, and on-chain adoption. The proposal awards up to Weight 10, with rewards including a +2 bonus for completing production readiness within 180 days, up to +3 adoption bonuses for notional transactions on Canton, and a time-based acceleration reward. Successful integration is expected to establish a cornerstone for payment flows on Canton, mobilize major stablecoins, and provide critical infrastructure for institutional payment companies.

CIP 0094 adds Blockdaemon as a Super Validator to the Canton Network with a weight of 5.0, contingent on achieving measurable institutional adoption milestones. Blockdaemon will contribute to the network by operating geographically distributed validator clusters, providing institutional-grade MPC wallets, and driving institutional interest in Canton. This contribution is expected to deliver immediate economic inflows, enhance decentralization, and professionalize Canton's validator and custody landscape.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP-0093) adds Bosphorus SV (BSV) as a Super Validator with a maximum weight of 6, allowing it to drive user and transaction adoption across Eurasia and the Middle East. BSV will focus on promoting institutional adoption of stablecoins, tokenized Treasuries, and other real-world assets, with rewards tied to on-chain burn generated by its onboarding efforts. This proposal is expected to expand the Canton Network's reach and adoption in the region.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0092) recommends a 10-day transition period for Super Validator (SV) operators to move from fixed on-chain conversion rates to dynamic market-based price feeds after the listing of Canton Coin (CC). During this period, SVs must update their votes for the median price at least once every 24 hours, using reasonable reference prices. This controlled transition aims to maintain stability while allowing SVs to progressively align the on-chain rate with observed market prices.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0091) adds Zenith as a Super Validator (SV) of weight 10, enabling participants to run execution environments using arbitrary VMs deployed as Virtual Blockchains (VBs) on Zenith, which can interoperate with Canton subnets and be verifiably settled on Canton Mainnet. The proposal aims to address Canton's priorities of global composability, privacy, and regulatory compliance by extending Canton's Polyglot strategy with VBs. Zenith's integration with Canton will provide atomic transaction confirmations, ZK-proof-based settlement, and connectivity with ecosystems like Ethereum, Base, and Solana.

This CIP proposes onboarding USDT0 to Canton MainNet with rewards tied to milestones such as MVP go-live, Native integration go-live, and on-chain adoption. The rewards include a base weight of 1, with up to +2 acceleration for early readiness and up to +2 adoption bonus for significant notional transactions. Successful onboarding is expected to accelerate liquidity, collateral utility, and payment use-cases on Canton.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP-0089) outlines a planned upgrade from Canton 3.3 to Canton 3.4, requiring a Major Upgrade with Downtime for Super Validators and Validators. The upgrade involves a synchronized operational procedure, pausing the synchronizer until completion, and has been tested on DevNet, TestNet, and MainNet for previous Canton releases. The proposed upgrade dates are November 12, 2025, for DevNet, November 26, 2025, for TestNet, and December 10, 2025, for MainNet.

CIP 0088 proposes adding Nuva as a Super Validator (SV) on the Canton Network with a weight of 3, aiming to bring a large user base of 2,000,000+ wallets from Animoca Brands' community. Nuva's integration with Canton will enable users to deposit and withdraw stablecoins from tokenized real-world assets, providing yield and liquidity. The successful integration and adoption of Nuva on Canton will result in a reward of up to 3 SV weight, with additional bonuses for TVL and user adoption.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0087) adds Hex Trust as a Super Validator (SV) with a weight of 3, enabling the company to contribute to the Canton Network's governance and development. As an SV, Hex Trust commits to integrating the Canton Coin and Canton Token Standard, and facilitating inelastic burn on the network, which will earn them rewards. This integration is expected to bring a comprehensive financial ecosystem to the Canton Network, enhancing its functionality and adoption.

CIP 0086 aims to develop an ERC-20-compatible middleware and distributed indexer for the Canton Network, enabling Ethereum-like token interactions to operate natively on Canton's distributed ledger while maintaining strict privacy and security guarantees. The middleware will abstract Canton's UTXO-style smart contract architecture and participant-specific data access into standard ERC-20 API semantics, supporting tokens like Canton Coin and other ERC-20 compatible tokens. This infrastructure will enhance interoperability and usability for Canton Network operators, token issuers, and ecosystem participants.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0085) adds Talos as a Weight 6.5 Super Validator, with incremental weight earned upon verification of adoption milestones such as Canton Coin trading and custody readiness, pX integration, and measured production usage. The proposal ties rewards to real usage and service quality, with a focus on broadening CC access through Talos integrations and demonstrating private institutional settlement on Canton. The incremental weight is broken down into two key initiatives: establishing Talos platform-wide support for CC and integrating pX for private institutional settlement.

This CIP grants the Tokenomics Committee the authority to recommend adjustments to the ledger cost parameter ($/MB) to Super Validators, enabling proactive management of accelerated scaling demand. The Committee will review scaling data and make periodic recommendations to maintain network stability and align incentives. This process aims to manage increasing demand in an orderly manner, providing sufficient time for scaling investments to be realized.

This integration is expected to strengthen institutional credibility and adoption pathways for large-scale institutional use cases.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0082) establishes a 5% Development Fund, allocated from future CC mint emissions, to sustain long-term investment in the Canton protocol. The fund will be governed by the Foundation and will support core R&D, dev tools, security, audits, and other critical infrastructure. This fund aims to provide durable, programmatic funding for the network's long-term objectives, ensuring all pools contribute to shared public goods.
