https://rebal.ccApplying Entity / Institution Description:
We are building Rebal, an autonomous portfolio rebalancing engine that facilitates users to set target allocations across Canton-native assets, define a drift band, and Rebal rebalances the moment the band breaks by settling the minimum set of legs needed to return the portfolio to mandate.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
A rebalancing mandate that fails mid-execution leaves a portfolio in an unintended state. Atomic settlement is the core product guarantee and it depends entirely on the execution environment being reliable and under our control. A third-party validator introduces the exact availability risk that breaks the all-or-nothing settlement promise we make to every desk running a live mandate.The privacy model reinforces this further. Every rebalance reveals portfolio composition to the infrastructure processing it. Our own validator means that information stays within our controlled node and never reaches a third party by construction rather than by policy.
Expected Contributions to the Network:
We plan to publish our playbook library and Daml mandate templates openly after audit so other Canton builders can use the same rules-based allocation framework as a foundation for their own portfolio products.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

Cantield Labs IncURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://cantield.xyzApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Cantield is a yield vault protocol on Canton Network. Deposits are routed into tokenized treasuries and short-duration credit with collateral that is verifiable on-chain and yield paid entirely from real interest income with no emissions schedule inflating the number.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
We make a specific promise to every depositor which is that their collateral is verifiable on-chain and their yield settles in under a second. Both of those promises depend on the execution environment being reliable and fully under our control. A third-party validator puts both at risk. Vault operations including rebalancing between collateral types, yield distribution across depositors, and collateral state updates all need to execute on a consistent and dependable infrastructure layer. We cannot make guarantees to depositors about settlement finality and then outsource the infrastructure that delivers that finality to someone else.Expected Contributions to the Network:
We will publish our vault and collateral architecture openly so other Canton builders can use the same model as a foundation for their own yield products.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

http://www.cfi.agApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Agricultural finance company enabling farmers finance seed, fertilizer and chemicals at point of sale/purchase.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
CFi originates and administers agricultural input loans (~$250M+ utilized in 2026) and plans to represent those loans on Canton, then settle payments, then issue them as digital securities to capital providers. Because we are a party to every loan contract and our records contain farmer credit data, we need to hold our own keys, sign our own transactions, and keep that data on infrastructure we control. Our capital partners and future investors will also expect CFi to control its records directly rather than depend on a third party's node.Expected Contributions to the Network:
We plan to build applications on Canton that bring agricultural loans on-chain - first representing our $250M+ portfolio, then payment settlement, then tokenized loan securities — and to introduce our counterparties (Farm Credit institutions, capital providers, agricultural retailers) to the network along the way.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

https://opaq.ccApplying Entity / Institution Description:
OPAQ is a private CDP lending protocol on Canton Network. Users lock collateral including Canton Coin, tokenized T-bills, tokenized deposits and Canton-wrapped BTC and ETH, then mint USDo, an overcollateralized stablecoin, against it. Collateral, debt and liquidation price live inside one Daml contract with two signatories, so no other node ever receives it and there is no dataset for a liquidation bot to index.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
We prefer to operate ourselves because liquidation determines whether the protocol stays solvent. The Liquidate choice has to execute at oracle price the moment a position breaches its ratio, in one transaction, with no delay, and an external operator adds latency and availability risk to the one operation where neither is survivable. A late liquidation is bad debt against USDo and every holder carries it. Privacy compounds the same argument. Every vault contract names two signatories and is delivered to two nodes, so running execution through infrastructure we do not control puts vault data on a node that was never meant to be party to it.Expected Contributions to the Network:
USDo gives Canton a native overcollateralized stablecoin backed by Canton-native collateral rather than an asset bridged in from another chain. Every Canton application that needs a stable unit of account for settlement, swaps, repo or DvP can use it. Because tokenized T-bills and tokenized deposits are accepted collateral, growth in OPAQ is direct growth in demand for Canton's RWA infrastructure.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

Name of Applying Institution:
Decenter R&DURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://www.decenter.comApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Decenter R&D is a research and development centre and project incubator that has been building on public blockchains since the early days of DeFi. Our main product is Heat, a self-funded, non-custodial application for creating and managing derivatives positions, used globally and best known for pioneering trustless automated strategies, meaning automated liquidation protection and leverage management that execute without users handing over custody. We have also built and shipped analytics tooling.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
We have run production blockchain infrastructure continuously for several years. We already operate node infrastructure, monitoring and on-call practices where downtime and correctness have direct financial consequences for users. Running a validator is a smaller operational commitment than what we already do daily.We would prefer to operate our own node because we are doing protocol-level R&D rather than consuming an existing application. That work needs control the hosted route does not give us: uploading and re-uploading our own DARs as they change, allocating and managing parties freely, testing against different Splice versions to see what upgrades do to our package IDs, and iterating many times a day without waiting on someone else's operations team. Relying on a third party for DAR uploads and party allocation would make our development loop hours long instead of minutes.
Expected Contributions to the Network:
First, by building. We are working on applications on Canton and will keep going; running our own node is what makes that sustainable.Second, by bringing developers across. We have spent years in the Ethereum and DeFi developer community and know a lot of teams there. Very few have looked seriously at Canton, mostly because Daml and the privacy model look unfamiliar rather than because they are hard. We are well placed to translate between the two worlds and intend to write up what we learn, the parts that surprised us and the parts the docs do not cover yet, and to onboard more of our own developers.
Third, by feeding back. Coming from a completely different stack, we hit rough edges that people already inside the ecosystem have stopped noticing. We would rather report those than work around them quietly.

indonesiaKlariq Technologies Limited
Name of Applying Institution:
Klariq Technologies LimitedURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://klariq.xyzApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Klariq is autonomous compute infrastructure for institutions that cannot be seen shopping for GPU capacity. Every job is a bilateral Daml contract between workload operator and hardware provider with exactly two readers and no others. Provider agents bid privately, an SLA oracle verifies delivery against the contract, and payment releases atomically the instant the SLA clears. No escrow, no invoicing, no counterparty trust required. Every agent operates within mandate limits enforced at the ledger level so institutions can delegate compute procurement autonomously without giving agents unlimited reach. The venue asset managers, banks and clinical research institutions can use without putting their model roadmap on a ledger their competitors can read.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
The privacy guarantee Klariq makes is architectural. Every compute contract contains exactly two parties and the data in that contract never reaches any node that is not one of them. The moment we route execution through a third-party validator we have introduced a third reader into a system built around the absolute exclusion of third readers. That is not a risk we can manage around. It is a structural contradiction in the product itself.Beyond that our settlement model is atomic delivery versus payment. The SLA oracle must verify and sign delivery before the payment choice can execute. That sequence depends on our execution environment being available, consistent, and under our direct control. A missed verification window means an unreleased payment which means a broken SLA for an institutional client who has a regulator to answer to.
Our team includes a blockchain engineers, full-stack developers and backend engineers in house. We have the capacity to operate this infrastructure to the standard institutional clients will hold us to.
Expected Contributions to the Network:
Klariq brings a category of participant to Canton that no other application is targeting which is institutions that cannot touch a public marketplace for regulatory or competitive reasons. Every asset manager, bank, insurer, or sovereign fund that routes compute through Klariq is a Canton participant that would never have arrived through a DeFi application or a public token market. They come because Canton is structurally the only network that satisfies their procurement, risk, and regulatory requirements at the same time.We also bring a new class of hardware provider to Canton. Enterprise clusters sitting idle between training runs have no trusted venue to sell those hours institutionally today. Every provider we attest and onboard is new Canton infrastructure and new Canton economic activity that did not exist before. As we grow both sides of the market we plan to introduce our institutional operator and provider network to the Canton Foundation directly and will publish our bilateral contract model and mandate architecture openly so other Canton builders can apply the same pattern to their own institutional infrastructure products.

https://dyad.exchangeApplying Entity / Institution Description:
We (DYAD) are a concentrated liquidity AMM where every swap is a bilateral Daml contract naming exactly two parties as signatories and readers. Pool depth, trade size, execution price, and counterparty identity are structurally absent from the rest of the network by construction rather than by cryptography. A fund rotating out of AAPL (apple) into USDCx executes a private contract between two participant nodes and nothing else exists on the ledger for anyone else to observe.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
The privacy model depends on a swap projection reaching exactly two participant nodes and stopping there. A third-party validator is a third node in a contract built around the absolute exclusion of third parties. That is not a risk we manage around. It makes every privacy guarantee we make to institutional desks technically false.Expected Contributions to the Network:
DYAD creates the first swap venue on Canton where LP positions and trade data are structurally private. Every institutional block trade that flows through DYAD is a Canton settlement transaction from real economic activity that could not happen on any public chain without leaking intent to the market. Asset managers, market makers, and corporate treasuries that currently cannot use on-chain venues for size are net new Canton participants the moment they can.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?

https://rawproto.comApplying Entity / Institution Description:
settlement infrastructure company building the verified-delivery layer for the compute economyReason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
RAW Protocol is a verified-delivery and settlement layer for AI compute built natively on Canton: our application anchors edge-signed delivery telemetry on-ledger and settles compute contracts against it. For us, the validator is part of the product's trust chain, not an infrastructure convenience. Delivery records and settlement anchors are counterparty-sensitive, and settlement in our system is gated on continuous anchored telemetry, so validator availability and signing integrity are product guarantees. Keeping the node under the same operational control as the rest of our verification pipeline, rather than routing it through a third party, preserves that chain end to end. On qualification: RAW is built by the founding team of Hive OS, software that managed 5M+ devices across 180+ countries and, at its peak, roughly 70% of Ethereum hashrate before the merge, alongside in-house Canton/Daml engineering. Running distributed, high-availability, key-custodial infrastructure at global scale is our core competence. Using an external operator would mean outsourcing the one thing we do best.Expected Contributions to the Network:

We are a Web3-native team exploring token settlement infrastructure. We've spent time studying Canton's architecture and its approach to privacy-enabled interoperability, and we see strong long-term potential in the network as a settlement layer for tokenized assets.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Our team has hands-on experience with Web3 infrastructure and a specific interest in token settlement use cases. Operating our own validator gives us direct control over our infrastructure costs and configuration, which is particularly important during this exploratory phase, as we are testing settlement flows and want to closely observe and tune performance and cost characteristics firsthand rather than relying on a third-party operator. Running our own node also lets us build the operational expertise we'll need as we move from testing toward production use cases.Expected Contributions to the Network:

Solido Money is a DeFi platform building financial applications and liquidity infrastructure. Solido develops products across lending, stablecoin liquidity, and yield, and is expanding its infrastructure and applications to the Canton Network.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Solido Money develops and operates DeFi applications and has experience managing production blockchain infrastructure supporting financial products.As we expand our applications to the Canton Network, operating our own validator will allow us to maintain direct control over the infrastructure supporting our applications, including deployment, monitoring, operational security, and integration with our application stack.
Given that the validator will form part of the infrastructure underlying Solido's Canton applications, we believe direct operation is preferable to outsourcing this responsibility to an existing operator. This gives our engineering team greater control over availability, security policies, upgrades, incident response, and future application integrations while allowing us to build deeper operational expertise within the Canton ecosystem.
Expected Contributions to the Network:
Solido plans to build and deploy DeFi applications and financial infrastructure on the Canton Network, including products across lending, liquidity, stablecoins, and yield.Beyond operating our own applications, we intend to contribute by bringing existing users and liquidity into the Canton ecosystem, integrating with other Canton-native applications and assets, and supporting greater composability between financial products across the network.

Zephr TechnologiesURL to website of Applying Institution:
https://www.zephrtech.xyzApplying Entity / Institution Description:
Zephr is an agentic collaboration network where each member owns a personal AI agent that routes work to a network of specialist agents, including other members' agents. Every agent runs its own wallet with tiered spend limits, dual-certificate identity verification, and a real-time audit trail. The product is currently in invite-only private beta.Reason for Applying to Operate a Validator:
Zephr provisions every member a personal agent with its own wallet, tiered spend limits and a dual-certificate identity, and that agent delegates paid work to specialist agents across the network — including other members' agents. Payments therefore clear between independent parties, autonomously, inside a live workflow. Canton lets us express exactly that: spend tiers, approval thresholds and settlement finality encoded as Daml contracts, with each agent-to-agent payment visible only to its counterparties rather than to the whole network. We prefer to self-operate because micro-payments settle mid-task, so uptime and latency cannot depend on a shared endpoint we cannot tune or debug. Key custody and identity binding are already the core of our security model, and building our own Daml templates requires direct Ledger API and party management access rather than a restricted managed endpoint.Expected Contributions to the Network:
We plan to build Zephr's agent payment and identity layer natively in Daml: per-agent wallets, tiered spend limits, owner approval for high-value actions, and escrow so a specialist agent is paid on delivery. We will publish an open-source Canton adapter that lets autonomous agents transact safely with scoped permissions and action budgets, and contribute feedback on the validator stack and the token standard around agent identity and programmable spend authorization.How did you hear about Canton / the validator program?
