Summary
Canton applications currently have no shared way to configure, calculate, review, and distribute sponsor-funded end-user rewards. R13N Labs proposes an Apache 2.0 Canton Reward Engine with reusable Daml workflows, calculation processors, data adapters, an SDK, API, CLI, and reference integration for lending, liquidity, trading, holding, and related financial campaigns. The project gives multiple Canton applications a consistent way to launch private, auditable, and interoperable reward programs without rebuilding the same infrastructure.
