ArkenaURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://www.arkena.ioApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Arkena is a digital asset platform built on the Canton Network, combining an NFT marketplace, DeFi swap infrastructure, and integrated wallet experience into a single unified ecosystem. Our mission is to create a seamless and scalable environment for discovering, trading, and interacting with digital assets while maintaining privacy, performance, and institutional-grade reliability. Arkena is designed as an all-in-one platform where users can mint, trade, swap, and manage digital assets without fragmentation.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Arkena is building a core application layer on the Canton Network, combining NFT infrastructure, DeFi functionality, and wallet services into a unified digital asset platform. Given the nature of our product, operating our own validator is a strategic decision rather than an operational preference. We require direct control over infrastructure to ensure performance, reliability, and alignment with our application’s architecture. Running our own validator allows us to ensure consistent uptime and performance for our users, maintain tighter integration between our application and network layer, and manage security, data flow, and infrastructure according to our standards. While third-party operators provide convenience, our preference is to operate independently to retain full control over system behavior, scaling decisions, and long-term infrastructure strategy. We are committed to being an active, reliable, and long-term infrastructure participant within the Canton ecosystem.Expected Contributions to the Network:
Arkena is designed not only as an application, but as a gateway that can onboard users, developers, and liquidity into the Canton ecosystem. Our primary contribution will be through building a full-stack digital asset platform that combines NFT infrastructure, DeFi functionality, and wallet services. In addition, we plan to contribute by onboarding new users, attracting developers and projects, expanding liquidity and activity, and supporting ecosystem growth through new initiatives, integrations, and potential partnerships. Our long-term vision is for Arkena to evolve into a central hub within the Canton ecosystem, driving both user adoption and developer activity.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?
We first heard about the project through the Turkish community around September 2025, when it started gaining significant attention. We followed your Twitter and Discord accounts and spent a considerable amount of time in the Discord server to better understand the project and the network. During this period, we researched the overall architecture, core principles, and the vision of the team. We actively participated in community discussions on Discord and joined X Spaces hosted by Yuval, where he engaged directly with the community. Additionally, We explored the projects within the Canton Network, experiencing almost all of them as a user and continuing to do so. On December 13, 2025, We attended the Canton event in Istanbul. We had the opportunity to listen to a message from Yuval and engage in a live discussion with Melvis. It was a very productive and insightful event together with the Turkish community.Country of Incorporation:

Institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure for Financial InstitutionsReason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Nexum OS is a Canton and Daml-native interbank settlement platform currently in development, targeting BDDK-licensed Turkish banks as participants under bilateral framework agreements. We intend to run our own validators because Turkish financial market regulations impose strict requirements on where interbank settlement data is processed, which would rule out third-party operators we cannot audit. We also require direct operational control for intraday margin call automation, validator-level circuit breakers, and a validator topology that can grow to mirror our participant governance structure over time.Expected Contributions to the Network:
As Nexum OS reaches production, we plan to introduce Canton to several Turkish banks and financial infrastructure providers, position them as potential node operators and application developers within the ecosystem, and leverage the Visa Innovation Programme to expose additional fintechs and financial institutions to Canton. Longer term, we see Nexum OS as a reference implementation for tokenized money market instruments and deposit token settlement in regulated markets.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?
