Franklin Templeton clears first CIP-0118 treasury-management milestone

CantonNews (August 15, 2026): Franklin Templeton completed the first milestone in its Canton Super Validator framework under CIP-0118, earning approval for one unit of Super Validator weight for on-chain treasury management. The Tokenomics working group reviewed and approved the milestone after Franklin Templeton completed at least one qualifying treasury-management transaction on Canton MainNet—potentially involving tokenized U.S. Treasuries, digital cash, or repo supporting fund operations. CIP-0118 (approved June 2026) caps Franklin Templeton at five weight units across treasury management, 24/7 create-and-redeem service, and up to three additional units for every $100M in qualifying production volume. Two-thirds of Super Validator operators must support subsequent on-chain reward assignment; the Global Synchronizer Foundation is named as the SV for the vote.

The product includes a native Nuxaris Wallet and multi-wallet support (Phantom, MetaMask, Rabby, WalletConnect). A points system tied to real bridge volume is being finalized, with roadmap items for advanced wallet features, better liquidity routes, and native DeFi primitives on Canton.

OneSwap announces first Pump.fun-style token launchpad on Canton

CantonNews (August 14, 2026): OneSwap announced what it calls the first Pump.fun-like token launchpad on Canton Network—designed so users can create a token, add liquidity, and trade in under a minute without deep Canton infrastructure knowledge. The launchpad targets a gap where Canton's institutional footprint (tokenized Treasuries, repo, RWAs) has outpaced accessible community token creation. OneSwap positions the feature as expanding activity beyond institutional use cases; a waitlist is open at tally.so/r/lb2vk6 ahead of the go-live.

Splice 0.7.2 adds session keys for KMS operators and updates SV voting

CantonNews (August 14, 2026): Splice 0.7.2 upgrades the Global Synchronizer to Canton 3.5.13 with session signing keys for KMS-enabled validator and Super Validator participants—short-lived in-memory keys that reduce KMS calls, load, and cost for routine protocol messages. SV voting now allows cast or change votes after a proposal's target effective time while the request remains open; failed actions can be rejected rather than left unresolved. A new SV-app traffic top-up setting defaults to a two-minute submission window; the network banner is always visible and reward-setting proposal forms are clearer.

Digital Asset releases Canton 3.5.13 with CantonBFT and traffic enforcement fixes

CantonNews (August 14, 2026): Digital Asset shipped Canton 3.5.13—a maintenance release improving CantonBFT batch dissemination (broader sources, earlier retrieval, parallel requests) and Traffic Enforcement App behavior when nodes miss batches or face connectivity issues during consensus. View changes now delete unnecessary prior-view messages to limit memory growth; P2P keepalive defaults are more robust. Optional Traffic Enforcement settings cover multi-party submissions, undeterminable balance periods, and DB/account lookup timeouts (disabled by default). Unsupported future contract-ID versions now return interpretation errors instead of crashing the engine. Supports protocol versions 34 and 35.

MUFG, Digital Asset and Progmat launch Canton JGB repo proof of concept

CantonNews / MUFG (August 13, 2026): Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group and three group companies—Mitsubishi UFJ Morgan Stanley Securities, Mitsubishi UFJ Trust and Banking, and MUFG Bank—launched a PoC with Digital Asset and Progmat for on-chain Japanese Government Bond repo on Canton. The design keeps JGBs as book-entry transfer bonds while synchronizing the transfer-registration ledger with the blockchain; digital money may use tokenized deposits or stablecoins. Secured Finance's lending protocol automates the full repo lifecycle alongside DvP settlement. Selected under Japan's FSA Payment Innovation Project (February 2026), the pilot tests real-time intraday repo and expanded settlement windows with MUFG Bank as deposit-taking and account-management institution.
