Canton
Canton is a next-generation Daml ledger interoperability protocol that implements Daml's built-in models of authorization and privacy faithfully.
-
By partitioning the global state it solves both the privacy problems and the scaling bottlenecks of platforms such as a single Ethereum instance.
-
It allows developers to balance auditability requirements with the right to forget, making it well-suited for building GDPR-compliant systems.
-
Canton handles authentication and data transport through our so-called synchronization domains.
-
Domains can be deployed at will to address scalability, operational or trust concerns.
-
Domains can be implemented on top of various technologies, depending on the trust requirements.
-
Domains are permissioned but can be federated at no interoperability cost, yielding a virtual global ledger that enables truly global workflow composition.
Refer to the Canton Whitepaper for further details.
