Why do you believe you qualify to operate Validators in the Canton Network and why do you prefer to do this yourself instead of using one of the existing operators?
I am interested in operating a validator on the Canton Network and have experience with secure and reliable node management.

Country of Incorporation: FranceName of Applying Institution: eTEU
URL: https://eteu.co.uk/
Short description of Applying Institution: a UK-based digital trade infrastructure company enabling the ownership rights to cargo in international trade to be issued and transferred as on-chain digital assets. We are one of only nine companies globally approved by the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGP&I) as a legally equivalent replacement for paper Bills of Lading — and the first to support this in a native on-chain asset format. Our platform is already being used by exporters, shipping lines and logistics providers to facilitate over US $100 million in commodity trade transactions annually, and to allow exporters to use these digital title documents as collateral for short-term financing from private credit lenders.
Why do you believe you qualify to operate Validators in the Canton Network and why do you prefer to do this yourself instead of using one of the existing operators?
"eTEU already operates mission-critical digital infrastructure in a regulated environment, as one of the few entities globally approved by the International Group of P&I Clubs (IGP&I) to issue and maintain legally enforceable digital ownership records over cargo. These title records serve as collateral for private credit loans, and we are required to meet strict regulatory, audit and professional indemnity insurance obligations.Because we are directly accountable for the integrity and legal validity of these assets, it is essential that this infrastructure remains under our full operational control, which is why we must operate our own Canton validator rather than delegate to a third party.
We also bring a high-quality new asset class to Canton: short-term, self-liquidating trade finance backed by insured cargo, historically delivering double-digit returns with default rates below 0.5 percent. This is highly attractive to existing private credit participants on Canton, and we will additionally onboard new institutional lenders and trade-originating counterparties. Operating our own validator ensures we are not only consuming Canton infrastructure but contributing trusted, regulated real-world assets, liquidity and network growth."

We will introduce a new real-world asset class to the Canton network: short-term, self-liquidating trade finance backed by insured cargo. In addition to our own transaction flows, we will build a Canton-native application layer for digital cargo title issuance, transfer and collateralisation, and continue to introduce regulated institutions, private credit providers and developers to the network.
