The Tie examines where privacy belongs in Canton's financial markets

CantonNews (September 11, 2026): The Tie has published "Where Privacy Belongs," the final instalment of its five-part Canton research series announced September 9. The August-dated report compares privacy built into assets or cryptographic systems, tools added to applications and wallets, and Canton's contract-defined access model where applications set data-sharing rules per transaction. It describes private payments, business transactions with auditor access, and transparent organisational treasuries, noting Canton Coin is more transparent by design than privacy-preserving stablecoins. The report discloses The Tie's commercial ties—work with Digital Asset and rewards through its Canton Super Validator and featured applications.
