Episode notes
Native Asset Mobility And Composability
- Canton combines asset mobility and composability to represent real-world assets natively on-chain.
- That combo removes settlement risk and increases velocity for institutional finance.
Privacy Over Anonymity For Institutions
- Privacy, not anonymity, is critical for institutional adoption of blockchain.
- Canton lets only parties who should see a transaction view it while keeping others from seeing it.
Chain That Lets Apps Choose Privacy
- Canton supports heterogeneous privacy and access models at the smart-contract level.
- Applications choose their worldview instead of the chain forcing one model on all apps.
