Summary

This proposal introduces an integration between the Canton ecosystem and Meria DeFi, a unified platform designed to simplify on-chain asset management and yield discovery.

Through wallet integrations, portfolio tracking, and exposure to Canton-based financial primitives, Meria DeFi will act as a distribution and discovery layer for Canton applications. The goal is to increase ecosystem visibility, simplify user access to Canton-based products, and drive measurable on-chain activity.

Notes for Reviewers

This proposal focuses on ecosystem distribution rather than protocol development. Meria DeFi acts as an aggregation and discovery layer that simplifies access to Canton-based applications while preserving native on-chain execution.

Meria currently operates infrastructure across more than 40 networks and serves a large user base composed of retail users, DeFi participants, and institutional actors. The integration is designed to increase visibility of Canton ecosystem products and create additional user flows toward Canton-native applications.

The implementation follows a modular architecture allowing future Canton ecosystem integrations (lending, vaults, tokenized assets) to be added progressively as the ecosystem evolves.
