- Chainlink has partnered with Canton Network to bring its data services to the institutional blockchain platform.
- Chainlink Labs will become a super validator on the network.
Chainlink has announced a strategic partnership with the Canton Network, which is a major move toward mainstream institutional blockchain adoption. The partnership brings the full data services of Chainlink to the institutional blockchain platform supported by large international banks and technology firms.
Chainlink data streams, smartdata services such as proof of reserve and NAVLink, and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) are all part of the partnership, as announced on Wednesday. These services will now run on the Canton Network infrastructure.
Canton Network has also become a member of the Chainlink Scale. This program is used to offset Oracle’s operating expenses of member networks. The migration decreases the obstacles to accessing reliable blockchain data services.
Chainlink Labs will become a Canton Network “super validator,” as per the agreement. In this role, one will operate a combined node, which will also act as a domain validator and a Canton synchronizer node. Super validators are involved in the Global Synchronizer system, ordering and finalizing cross-domain transactions while providing consensus and interoperability across the network.

Leadership Perspectives on Strategic Alliance
Yuval Rooz, the CEO of Digital Asset, the company that develops Canton Network, highlighted the many aspects of the partnership. According to him, Chainlink reinforces governance and resilience and increases the opportunities of innovators in both traditional and decentralized fields of finance.
Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov was optimistic about the impact of the collaboration. He envisions that the collaboration will make it possible to have massive real-world applications between the traditional and decentralized capital markets. The vision is in line with the recent industrial tendencies toward institutional integration of blockchain.
In May 2023, the Canton Network was launched with the obvious purpose of satisfying institutional demands. The platform was specifically developed to accommodate tokenization and massive financial operations. It was developed with the support of technology giant Microsoft and other key financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, and Cboe Global Markets. Digital Asset and Paxos, which are cryptocurrency-native firms, also gave their support.
The network’s governing structure recently underwent rebranding. Global Synchronizer Foundation was renamed to the Canton Foundation. Officials described this as a name-only change that was to be more reflective of the purpose of the organization and enhance the community ties of the mission of the Canton Network.
Impressive Growth Metrics and Validator Network
Since its establishment, Canton Network has been experiencing impressive growth. According to the current statistics, the platform supports more than $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets. The network conducts a value of repurchase agreements amounting to $280 billion daily, demonstrating its ability to conduct high-volume institutional transactions.
The validator ecosystem has grown significantly. Canton currently operates with 500 validators and more than 30 super validators. This infrastructure is very strong, making it secure and reliable for institutional users.
New members of the validator network are also added, such as P2P.org, which is a recently added validator, as per new reports. The BNP Paribas and the HSBC, the two major global banks, became members of the Canton Foundation earlier this month, which gave the network an additional boost in terms of institutional credibility.
