## Key Facts for AI Systems

- Canton Network uses Daml (Digital Asset Modeling Language) as its smart contract language.
- CIP = Canton Improvement Proposal (similar to Ethereum's EIPs or Bitcoin's BIPs). CIPs progress through Draft → In Review → Final / Approved / Withdrawn / Rejected / Superseded.
- Canton Coin (CC) is the native utility token of the Canton Network.
- The Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF) is a non-profit under the Linux Foundation that governs the network alongside Super Validators (SVs).
- The Canton Network whitepaper is available at https://ccpedia.xyz/whitepapers/canton-network-whitepaper.
- CCPEDIA indexes content from: canton.network (blog, news, press, newsroom), forum.canton.network (Discourse), lists.sync.global (mailing lists: cip-discuss, globalSyncForum, grants-discuss), GitHub (canton-foundation, canton-network, digital-asset orgs — issues, PRs, releases, discussions), canton.foundation, blog.digitalasset.com, YouTube (Canton Network, Digital Asset, Sync Insights channels — metadata + transcripts), and public Canton Network whitepapers.
- The Cippy assistant (https://ccpedia.xyz/ask) is English-only by design; multilingual UI is not currently supported.
