The Canton Network: Institutional Blockchain Interoperability in the Financial Services Sector

Of the industry sectors exploring Blockchain technologies the Financial Services sector (Banking & Capital Markets, Insurance, Investment Management – including Real Estate and Digital Assets/NFTs) seems to have the most activity-based simply on the sheer volume of projects.  According to analysts and industry research, interest and investments in blockchain remain strongest in the financial sector. It makes sense, as crypto is to the disintermediation of money, so too blockchain technology will reshape financial services not much unlike the way the Internet reshaped media.  The analysis of the Canton Network found here is the first in our series of best-in-class blockchain technology case studies in the financial sector.  We include a white paper, which describes the Canton Network as “a smart contract network of networks that overcomes these limitations and enables each application provider to define their application’s privacy, scaling, permissions, and governance while being part of broader decentralized and permissionless public networks.”
