This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP-0120) aims to change the validator reward calculation to be based on actual traffic usage, rather than CC burn for traffic purchases, and introduces a reward split between submitting validators and confirming validators. The proposed reward split is 70% for submitting validators and 30% for confirming validators, with the goal of incentivizing multi-hosting of parties across validators and enhancing network security and decentralization. By realigning rewards with actual traffic usage, this CIP seeks to create a more accurate and decentralized reward system.

This CIP proposes adding Merkle Science as a Weight [ ] SV to the Canton Foundation to enhance network security and accelerate institutional adoption. Merkle Science will integrate its predictive analytics for real-time detection of illicit activities, providing a foundational security layer crucial for meeting regulatory obligations and attracting financial institutions. This integration is projected to onboard 100+ customers, generating significant annual transaction volumes and increasing the utility and burn of CC.

This Canton Improvement Proposal (CIP 0049) aims to enhance network resilience by incentivizing Super Validators to maintain full, cold backups of the network's historical state, stored in secure environments. To achieve this, a minimum of 60% of Super Validators must maintain these backups, and those that do will receive an enhanced reward of approximately 20-30% more than their current rewards. This proposal will bolster decentralization, guarantee data immutability, and ensure the Canton Network's continuous availability.
