Shinhan Asset Management secures approval for Canton Super Validator programme

CantonNews (September 12, 2026): Shinhan Asset Management has won approval for a Canton Super Validator programme focused on institutional adoption in Korea, approved September 11 with a path to earn up to weight 10 in Super Validator rewards. The programme covers tokenized securities, real-world assets, won-denominated settlement assets, and fund administration, with Shinhan Bank, Shinhan Securities, and Shinhan Fund Partners expected to participate alongside the asset manager within Shinhan Financial Group. Milestones, deadlines, and commercial details were agreed privately with the Foundation's Tokenomics and Accountability Committees and remain confidential until Shinhan and the Foundation choose to disclose them. Rewards accumulate in escrow pending evidence of completed milestones; once Shinhan has been awarded more than 2.5 in weight, it must operate its own Super Validator node within six months.

Temple passes one billion CC burned on Canton

CantonNews (September 12, 2026): Temple Digital Group has passed one billion Canton Coin burned for the Canton Network, with its September 11 update putting cumulative network burn contribution since January at more than $100 million. Burning is how Canton charges for public infrastructure use—fees for settlement, asset transfers, and data synchronisation are paid in CC and permanently removed from circulation. Temple opened for trading January 8 with the CC/USDCx pair, combining private trading with non-custodial wallet support. In July it listed Ember Protocol's eXAU and eXAG gold and silver tokens, each representing one troy ounce of allocated bullion in professional custody. The billion-CC milestone arrives eight months after Temple's trading launch.

Canton ranks #1 in global 24-hour blockchain fees at $1.58M

Bitget News / DeFiLlama (September 12, 2026): Canton generated $1,577,496 in 24-hour fees per DeFiLlama, ranking first globally ahead of Robinhood Chain ($936K), Tron ($871K), Solana ($836K), and Ethereum ($703K)—a 1.89% increase from the prior day and the second consecutive day Canton led the chart. Fees are generated predominantly at the chain layer rather than by individual application protocols, indicating broad transaction throughput. Canton's seven-day cumulative total stood at $11.19M, reflecting a -4.04% week-over-week decline, so the daily spike represents concentrated on-chain activity rather than a uniform weekly trend.

Goldman Sachs proposed as Super Validator on Canton Network

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): A governance CIP has been submitted to designate Goldman Sachs and Co. as a Canton Super Validator with a maximum earnable weight of 10 under a milestone-based programme agreed with the Canton Foundation. Authored by Abeetha Pitigala and currently in Proposed status, the umbrella programme lets Goldman Sachs earn Super Validator weight incrementally as it meets ecosystem commitments; specific milestones and timelines remain confidential until Goldman Sachs and the Foundation agree on disclosure. Rewards do not mint until milestones are verified; unearned weight associated with missed deadlines is removed. Goldman Sachs already participates in Canton working groups and pilots and joined Digital Asset's $365 million funding round. Approval requires a two-thirds Super Validator vote.

Canton 3.5.17 brings fixes for network operators

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): Canton 3.5.17 is available as a September 10 maintenance release addressing memory-related crashes and connection problems for network operators. Two fixes cover out-of-memory situations—messages building up when peers cannot receive quickly enough, and tracking records created but not properly closed. The update also fixes node onboarding and catch-up faults, including a case that could leave a rejoining node without incoming connections. Other changes reduce compute for incoming transactions, add performance monitoring options, set consistent defaults for inter-connection data flow, and reject conflicting settings. The release supports Canton protocol versions 34 and 35.

Canton Wallet SDK 1.5.0 improves token-lock handling

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): Canton Wallet SDK 1.5.0 updates the developer toolkit for connecting wallets and applications to the network. The release fixes recognition of token locks whose expiry is expressed as a duration after the holding was created, letting eligible holdings with expired locks count toward available balances and fund transfers. Another fix lets developers query public token registries without authentication for services that do not require login; authenticated access remains the default. The September 9 release also adds a multi-synchronizer trade example for transactions coordinated across more than one synchronizer. Version 1.5.0 is available through the project's official repository with release notes and updated supporting packages.

Canborsa adds dynamic funding and payment history

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): Canborsa has introduced dynamic funding rates and a funding-payment history for perpetual traders in a September 10 update. Perpetual contracts let traders take price exposure without fixed expiry; funding payments between long and short positions help keep contract prices aligned with the underlying asset. With the update, payment direction follows market conditions—longs pay shorts when the perpetual trades above the underlying, and vice versa. The new history gives users a record of funding amounts paid or received while holding positions. Funding is separate from gains or losses from price changes. Canborsa supports Canton alongside Ethereum, Base, Arbitrum, and BNB Chain.

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): Edel has integrated Alpaca Markets' brokerage and equity-data infrastructure in a September 10 announcement as it develops products connecting traditional finance with onchain markets. Alpaca provides brokerage technology for investment accounts and trading, plus current and historical stock-market data including prices and trading activity. Edel is building private perpetual markets on Canton; its September 9 development update also confirmed Chainlink price feeds for crypto and commodities. Edel's website lists Runway and its validator infrastructure as live on Canton, with Edel Markets trading venue listed as coming soon.

Tenkai's Canton swaps gain recognition under network reward rules

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): Canton's Tokenomics Committee has approved delivery-versus-payment treatment for qualifying Tenkai swaps in a September 9 decision following an Accountability Committee recommendation. Tenkai operates Cansai, a self-custodial wallet and exchange for asset swaps. Delivery versus payment means the purchased asset and payment settle together—either the whole exchange completes or none of it does. The committee recognised these qualifying transactions as multi-asset exchanges rather than operational transfer batches, so featured assets involved can receive corresponding DvP treatment under Canton's reward framework. Tenkai retains its existing Featured App status; the decision concerns classification of qualifying trading activity.
