Validator Approval
Congratulations on having your validator approved! We're very excited to have you spin up your validator node and join us online. Please find the next steps below. Feel free to reach out with any questions.
IP Whitelisting
For IP whitelisting requests, please fill this form.
Important: Whitelisting is required for your validator node to communicate with the network environments.
Deploy Your Validator
Set up your own node using the public docs - TestNet / MainNet.
Alternatively, ask one of our partners to spin up your validator node today. Reach out via email to any of them for more information.
Note: Partner deployment can significantly speed up setup if you prefer a managed approach.
MainNet Allocation
We currently have a waitlist for deploying to MainNet, please wait for an allocation.
We recently implemented a weekly validator allocation process to manage access. The current policy prioritizes "GTM-ready" projects—those with functional builds on DevNet or TestNet ready for immediate MainNet activation.
Current capacity: 50 validators per week
Allocations processed: every Wednesday
For more details on the specific requirements and how the queue is managed, please refer to:
You can verify entries here.
Important: You will not be able to proceed to MainNet without an official allocation.

http://screnermet.fun/Applying Entity / Institution Description:
We build liquidity intelligence tooling for on-chain markets. Our screener analyzes liquidity-provider wallets — PnL, win rate, profit factor, entry style, and consistency — so capital allocators can identify which wallets are genuinely worth mirroring before committing funds to a liquidity position.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Our product evaluates where liquidity is deployed and how it performs, which depends on reliable settlement records and verifiable position history. Operating our own validator lets us explore recording LP performance attribution and allocation flows on Canton with full control over data integrity and privacy, rather than depending on shared third-party endpoints. We prefer to self-operate because we already run our own production data pipelines and infrastructure, and we want direct control over uptime, key management, and upgrade cadence — as well as the ability to iterate quickly from DevNet through MainNet as our application matures.Expected Contributions to the Network:
Bring liquidity analytics and allocation tooling onto Canton, showing how LP performance and capital-allocation decisions can be evaluated on-chain; document those patterns for other market-infrastructure teams; and introduce developers, traders, and liquidity providers from our network — including the Indonesian developer community — to the Canton ecosystem.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

POST TRADE LtdURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://post-trade.com/Applying Entity / Institution Description:
POST TRADE LTD, a wholly owned subsidiary of Havona Technology LTD is a trade document and post-trade records platform for international commodity trading — electronic transferable records (bills of lading, warehouse receipts) with institutional custody, built on Canton/DAML/We are a post-trade records platform for international commodity trading. We digitise trade documentation — bills of lading, warehouse receipts, mate's receipts — as electronic transferable records with institutional custody, built on Canton and DAML.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Our application requires deploying our own DAR. Havona's electronic transferable records are Daml templates that encode MLETR and UK ETDA 2023 title-transfer semantics — including a guard that refuses endorsement of a non-negotiable straight bill of lading, which is the failure behind well-known commodity-financing frauds. Managed and shared validator operators do not host third-party DARs, for sound isolation and security reasons, so operating our own node is a requirement of the application rather than a preference. We have already deployed a Splice 0.6.14 validator, uploaded our DAR, and executed a title transfer between parties on it.Expected Contributions to the Network:
Bringing physical-commodity trade documentation onto Canton as transferable records — an asset class still settled largely on paper and PDF. We chose Canton specifically for sub-transaction privacy: trade counterparties cannot expose positions and terms to competitors on a transparent ledger, which rules out public chains for this use case. We expect to contribute back on the electronic-transferable-record patterns and are happy to introduce trade-finance and commodity participants to the Foundation.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

Quorvia is building an AI-powered Treasury Operating System for institutions on the Canton Network. Operating our own validator allows us to better understand the network, validate and test settlement workflows, and ensure reliable integration with our platform. Running a validator also gives us greater control over performance, security, and operational transparency, rather than relying on a third-party operator.
