Zenith and IntellectEU integrate TACEO Merces privacy for Canton apps and bank rails

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Zenith and IntellectEU are working with TACEO's Merces privacy layer on two Canton-facing integrations alongside Merces launches on Monad and World Chain (September 24). IntellectEU is adding Merces to CatalyX so banks can route Swift messaging, Canton, and public chains while keeping payment details confidential. Zenith targets EVM-compatible apps on Canton—supporting fund eligibility, ownership caps, and distributions without exposing every holder's balance, plus pre-trade screening and selective auditor disclosure. Zenith's EVM testnet remains pre-public; IntellectEU and TACEO plan a Sibos demonstration September 30.

Governance

a16z crypto approved for Canton Super Validator role after nine-vote tally

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Canton Super Validator operators approved a16z crypto's participation on September 21 with nine votes in favor and four non-votes, following a September 11 draft that proposed up to reward weight 10 tied to verified milestones. Rewards accumulate in escrow via a representative Super Validator until the Super Validator Accountability Committee verifies work and two-thirds of operators authorize release; missed deadlines remove remaining weight for unfinished milestones. Commercial commitments remain confidential until a16z crypto and the Canton Foundation agree to disclose them—distinct from the earlier public proposal story still on the timeline.

Technology

Splice 0.8.0 cleared for MainNet deployment after two-thirds SV upgrade threshold

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Splice 0.8.0 was ready for Canton MainNet deployment as of a September 21 notice, with two-thirds of Super Validator nodes upgraded—including the Global Synchronizer Foundation node. The Global Synchronizer release separates installing software from activating certain features that still require later SV votes. Application teams using legacy transfer flows must migrate to supported processes, and some packages need compatibility updates before new network settings take effect; official release notes list affected integrations.

Technology

Rocky Wallet adds multichain portfolio view beyond Canton

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Rocky announced multichain support in its browser wallet (September 21), combining Canton, Solana, Robinhood Chain, BNB Chain, and other EVM-compatible networks in one interface with an All Networks portfolio or per-chain views. Users can send and receive tokens, import assets, review Canton transfer offers, and manage connected apps; a new Activity tab surfaces partner apps including Rocky Exchange. Chrome Web Store version 1.1.0 (September 17) improved transfer review, fee checks, and network errors. Team multisig wallets for shared treasuries remain planned without a public date.

Slay Money allocates 6,000 CC to early users ahead of weekly rewards

CantonNews (September 22, 2026): Slay Money plans to distribute 6,000 Canton Coin among 20 early users during the week of September 21—crediting Slay accounts directly—before launching a weekly rewards program tied to in-app activity. Holding or sending CC, trading, and prediction-market participation count starting the announcement week, with the first weekly payout planned the following week and no separate registration form. The unified wallet–trading–predictions app ships on Android, TestFlight iOS, and a Chrome extension; weekly pool sizing and per-user amounts were still to be detailed at publication.

Governance

Marex Super Validator program approved as CIP-0126 passes nine-vote tally

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Marex won approval to join Canton's Super Validator program after operators passed CIP-0126 on September 25 with nine votes in favor and four non-votes. The approved milestone programme can grant reward weight up to 10 as Marex delivers verified work on institutional settlement, collateral mobility, and regulated customer access on Canton. Commitments, deadlines, and commercial terms remain confidential until Marex and the Canton Foundation agree to disclose them; rewards accumulate in escrow pending committee verification and authorization from two-thirds of Super Validator operators. If Marex's awarded weight exceeds 2.5, it must operate its own Super Validator within six months while covering representative-node costs in the interim.

Six global chains compete for Korea finance as Canton deepens local ties

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): At least six global blockchain projects—including Canton Network, Solana, Chainlink, Avalanche, Optimism, and Plume—have pursued South Korean financial partnerships over roughly three months ahead of the country's early-2027 tokenised-securities framework, according to industry sources cited by Seoul Economic Daily. Canton's footprint spans Hanwha Investment & Securities, Shinhan Securities, and Shinhan Venture Investment stakes in Digital Asset, plus Shinhan Asset Management operating as a validator—capital and infrastructure entry in parallel. Rivals are pitching remittances, won stablecoins, and tokenised funds through Toss, Kwangju Bank, DB Securities, KB Securities, Securitize, Fair Square Lab, and Hanwha's Avalanche issuance stack. Most deals remain MOU or proof-of-concept stage; issuance, trading, and settlement on-chain are expected to separate winners as grants and local hiring intensify competition.

Ecosystem

Alpend credit protocol crosses $3 million TVL on Canton Network

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Alpend by Palladium Labs crossed $3 million in total value locked on Canton Network, reaching the mark three days after passing $2 million—suggesting accelerating inflows into its native lending and borrowing markets. The milestone follows a recent Halborn Security smart-contract audit while Alpend remains in early mainnet deployment; the rapid $1M–$2M–$3M sequence points to recurring liquidity rather than a single large deposit. Alpend targets a privacy-preserving credit layer for Canton as more apps, tokens, and institutions join the network.

Governance

Bayzen Featured App application opens MainNet vote after Tokenomics clearance

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Bayzen's Featured App request entered a MainNet vote that opened September 25 after Tokenomics approval the prior day. At a September 26 check the proposal showed two votes in favor and none against, with voting scheduled to close October 2 at 14:00 UTC and an October 3 14:00 UTC target effective time if approved. Bayzen is building Canton prediction markets on financial assets, protocol milestones, and ecosystem events—with fixed questions, evidence sources, settlement rules, and a planned Signal Passport track record for forecasters. The product remains in development with simulated wallet functions in the prototype; the governance vote is separate from launching those features.

Grofty previews multi-venue Canton swaps across OneSwap and upcoming Cantex

CantonNews (September 26, 2026): Grofty previewed a Canton trading interface that will quote OneSwap and forthcoming Cantex side by side so users compare expected proceeds before choosing a route. The planned DEX will surface pool, network, and app fees separately with expiry timers and wallet-signed steps—keeping keys in the user wallet—and warn when fixed costs weigh heavily on small trades. Beyond swaps, the preview covers fourteen browsable token markets, a portfolio view with six display currencies, CSV exports, and a planned bridge from Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, Avalanche, BNB Chain, and Monad into USDCx on Canton. Cantex confirmed the future connection while its DEX remains listed as coming soon without a public launch date.
