Proposal: CIP-56 Utility Token Support for the Canton Wallet SDK
Development Fund Proposal Submission
Proposal file: /proposals/canton-token-integration-kit.md
Summary
Revised scope after maintainer feedback. Rather than a new TypeScript token library (the official canton-network/wallet SDK already covers transfer/allocation/utxos), this proposal contributes the missing Utility Registry token support upstream to that SDK, specifically generic transfer pre-approval with factory resolution (default vs pre-approval factory) and shared choice-context / disclosed-contract handling for non-Amulet registries, plus a tested reference integration against real registries and completed CIP-56 docs. It is Apache-2.0, with success measured by the contributions merging and independent teams integrating tokens through this path.

Notes for Reviewers
Scope revised following @meiersi-da's note that the wallet SDK and preliminary CIP-56 docs already exist. This proposal extends those resources rather than duplicating them, and targets the Utility Registry token gap raised in the USDCx mailing-list thread (the factoryId pre-approval resolution Sergei Ganebnyi described). It is distinct from #335 (local API/CI test harness) and #231 (on-ledger compliance primitive).
