The Canton Network is partnering with Chainlink Scale to drive widespread institutional use by providing access to Chainlink’s standard data solutions and cross-chain capabilities. Chainlink Labs will further participate as a Super Validator in the Global Synchronizer, a vital element of the Canton Network.
NEW YORK, NY – September 24, 2025 – Today, the Canton Network, an open, public blockchain tailored for the needs of institutional finance, and Chainlink, a leading oracle network, announced a collaboration focused on expanding the use of Canton Network across the institutional landscape. Canton Network has joined the Chainlink Scale program and is integrating Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData (including Proof of Reserve and NAVLink), and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Institutions within the Canton Network will benefit from Chainlink’s trusted infrastructure, already securing over $100 billion in the DeFi space and enabling $25 trillion in transaction value. Furthermore, Chainlink Labs will become a Super Validator on the Canton Network, operating a multi-component node comprised of a Validator and a Canton Synchronizer node, actively participating in the Global Synchronizer.
This strategic move couples Chainlink’s scalable and dependable infrastructure with Canton’s ability to address regulatory and privacy demands within institutional finance. By deepening its involvement, Chainlink is set to foster fresh opportunities for growth and cooperation within the Canton Network, strengthening its position as the premier blockchain solution for real-world institutional applications.
The Canton Network boasts an extensive list of institutional ecosystem participants, detailed here. Currently, the Canton Network supports over $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets, handles $280 billion in repos daily, and is secured by a network consisting of 500 validators and over 30 super validators.
Through the Chainlink Scale program, Canton Network aims to provide institutions with access to cost-effective and highly secure Chainlink services. Canton Network will help cover some of the operational expenses of Chainlink oracle nodes, which provide crucial data solutions and oracle services to the network. This action will boost Canton’s connectivity, resilience, and overall transparency, fostering innovation across areas like tokenized assets, on-chain assets, stablecoins, payment systems, and digital identity verification.
“I’m excited that the Canton Network has chosen Chainlink to ensure safe data transfer and interoperability across its institutional environment. Canton’s leadership in privacy and regulatory compliance makes them a key force in expanding institutional blockchain adoption, and this collaboration combines those advantages with Chainlink’s trusted infrastructure. Together, we’re enabling large-scale real-world use cases and accelerating the convergence of traditional and decentralized capital markets.” — Sergey Nazarov, Co-Founder of Chainlink
“Chainlink’s commitment to the Canton Network is a significant step in expanding the connectivity of capital markets,” said Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset. “Bringing its community and solutions to Canton strengthens our governance and resilience while broadening opportunities for innovators in both traditional and decentralized finance.”
Chainlink’s involvement shows significant demand from shared institutional collaborators, with many actively evaluating and implementing tokenized and on-chain assets. The integration of Chainlink’s industry-standard infrastructure on Canton unlocks new pathways for collaboration, development, and scaling on a blockchain network purpose-built for regulated financial markets.
Chainlink’s addition further reinforces the Canton Network’s position as a leading blockchain, connecting traditional and decentralized finance. This news follows the recent announcement of Chainlink Labs joining the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF), the governing body of the Global Synchronizer—the Canton Network’s interoperability layer.
