Canton Network Health Index
Five-layer scorecard (0–100) from the CC Privacy Club dynamic outlook model — snapshot data, not investment advice.
Overall Health Score
72.4
Transition / improving +8.1 vs 2026-08-30Model readout
Since the 2026-08-30 snapshot, overall health rose from 64.3 to 72.4. 30-day active party breadth jumped toward the 10% target (≈9.9%), lifting Adoption, while Burn Offset eased slightly to 70.9% and unique-wallet FA lock coverage remains thin (~1% of circulating supply). Concentration and validator liveness are stable-to-slightly better; activity intensity per active party is the main soft spot.

View all news →CantonNews primer: how CC locks back Featured Apps and Super Validators
CantonNews (October 24, 2026): With CIP-0127 approved October 23, the piece explains how existing policies differ—CIP-0116 requires 5 million CC (non-issuer Featured App party) or 25 million CC (asset issuer) in locks with 60-day vesting withdrawals; CIP-0105 ties Super Validator forward weight to locking 70%, 45%, or 35% of lifetime SV rewards on a declining schedule, with 1/365.25 daily unlock on withdrawals. Locked CC can be supplied by third parties (Cashen marketplace, Maha Wallet's 5 million CC arrangement) without replacing Foundation approval. CIP-0127 adds separate lock owners, permissioned management, lock transfers that preserve vesting, and MainNet-gated 30-day migration windows for apps (after Increments 1–3) and SVs (after Increment 1)—approval alone does not start either clock.
Super Validators approve CIP-0127 on-chain lock enforcement design
CantonNews (October 24, 2026): Super Validator operators approved CIP-0127 on October 23 with 10 votes in favour and three non-votes, closing the vote opened October 19. The design automates Featured App and Super Validator CC locks atop CIP-0105 and CIP-0116, supports third-party lock funding and October-added lock transfers, and stages enforcement: Featured Apps get a seven-day recovery before permanent featured-right loss on shortfalls; SV reward-weight reductions apply immediately on detection with a default 30-day recovery before permanence. Six MainNet increments roll out basic lock ops through automated SV minting and shortfall handling; each cohort's 30-day migration begins only after its required software ships. SV automatic enforcement still depends on open on-ledger SV reward-right representation and follow-on SV votes to end Foundation manual monitoring.
