WalletConnect has officially integrated with Canton Network, enabling any wallet, digital asset custodian, or application compatible with the protocol to connect directly to Canton’s institutional ecosystem. The move is designed to remove technical limitations that previously constrained interoperability between traditional finance and the DeFi ecosystem.
Canton Network processes more than $350 billion in assets daily. Major institutions including Goldman Sachs, DTCC, Franklin Templeton, Circle, Fireblocks, and BitGo operate on the network with active assets, applications, and services.
The integration also expands access for the WalletConnect ecosystem, which brings together more than 700 wallet providers and over 70,000 onchain applications. Canton is positioned as a destination for these users and services.
Canton’s technical approach combines configurable privacy with composability. Using a “need-to-know” principle, transactions are not broadcast publicly. This is intended to allow sensitive financial operations—such as payroll payments, global settlements, and treasury management—to be executed without exposing strategies or positions.
The network also supports institutional workflows that can include instant collateral transfers, atomic swaps, stablecoin issuance and redemption on demand, and continuous financing. Crypto assets under institutional custody, including tokenized versions of BTC and ETH, can be used as collateral within these workflows and as a bridge to next-generation DeFi protocols such as lending markets and prediction platforms.
The WalletConnect integration provides a single connection to access Canton’s entire wallet and application ecosystem, with the goal of reducing implementation timelines. It also supports cross-device authentication, aiming to eliminate the need for constant reconnections, while enabling signatures to be executed in a single click.
Canton is described as a convergence point between institutional financial infrastructure and decentralized protocols, with the network positioned to advance real-world asset tokenization.

Long-term memberships are shrinking, margins are pressured by higher rents and facility expenses, and competition from smaller, more personalized…
