Is Daml Hub Quietly Becoming Canton’s Weakest Trust Layer?

If Canton is designed as a privacy-preserving, decentralized multi-domain network for institutions, how do you justify relying on Daml Hub as a managed infrastructure layer without creating a hidden centralization point where participant control, Ledger API visibility, operational metadata, and institutional dependency quietly shift trust back to the platform provider rather than the protocol itself?

Daml Hub has been decommissioned and is not part of the Canton Network stack at all.

Encourage you to have a read through the latest Canton Network docs, potentially this section on Trust Model may be helpful :

Thanks for clarifying — I was referencing older architecture assumptions. I’ll read through the Trust Model section and revisit my understanding of how visibility and coordination work in the current Canton stack.
