The Canton Foundation Dev Fund is moving to Dev Fund 2.0
Thanks for making and opening a PR for your proposal. The Developer Fund is transitioning, which shifts toward RFP-scoped proposal system and clearer problem & adoption requirement framing.
Full details on Dev Fund 2.0: https://github.com/canton-foundation/canton-dev-fund/blob/main/2026-2028-strategic-roadmap.md#requests-for-proposals
To keep your proposal PR active, please update it by within the next 10 days with:
Proposals not updated by then will get their PRs closed and will not be considered for the next Dev Fund cycle.
What's the point of updating it if no one reviews it? :)
I understand the frustration. I’d suggest sharing your PR with g***@lists.sync.global and the relevant SIG, including a short summary, its RFP alignment and the specific feedback you’re seeking.
Each proposal needs to deliver a public good for the Canton ecosystem and be moved forward by the community through a Champion. Champions help refine proposals, gather feedback and bring them forward for review and voting.
The updates make the ecosystem need and adoption goals clearer. However, if no one from the ecosystem is willing to champion a proposal, sadly it will remain pending without being reviewed.
Proposal Title: DPMC – Bridging Idle Stablecoins to Real-World Asset Yield
Proposal Type: RWA Protocol
Requested Amount: $150,000 USD equivalent in USDC/T
Proposer information
Project Summary
DPMC activates ~75% of idle stablecoin supply (> $185B of the $250B+ market) by channeling on-chain liquidity into Australian commercial real estate — a historically stable, income-generating real-world asset class. Through on-chain yield distribution from real rental cash flows, the protocol delivers predictable, asset-backed returns to DeFi participants while providing efficient financing to traditional sectors.
All core components will be open-source to enable reuse across the ecosystem.
Objective and Scope
What specific problem are you solving?
Approximately 75% of stablecoins remain dormant or in low-yield positions, representing massive capital inefficiency in DeFi. Traditional high-quality yield sources (e.g. commercial real estate) remain inaccessible to most due to high barriers (capital minimums, illiquidity, jurisdiction). This creates a structural disconnect between abundant on-chain liquidity seeking yield and proven real-economy cash flows.
What is the objective of this proposal?
Build and launch DPMC — an open protocol that:
What is explicitly in scope?
What is explicitly out of scope?
Technical Approach
DPMC uses a hybrid design:
The architecture emphasizes composability, auditability, and modularity for future RWA classes.
Alignment with Canton / Broader Ecosystem
How does this proposal benefit the Canton Network, interoperability, or the broader blockchain/DeFi ecosystem?
DPMC is designed with interoperability in mind (standard token interfaces, modular adapters). It demonstrates secure RWA onboarding — a key missing primitive — and can serve as a reference implementation for projects building on Canton or similar networks seeking real-economy yield integration.
