# Canton

[](https://circleci.com/gh/DACH-NY/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.
