- Chainlink brings oracles and CCIP to Canton’s institutional blockchain.
- Canton processes $280B daily repos and secures $6T in tokenised assets.
- BNP Paribas, HSBC, and P2P.org recently joined the Canton Foundation.
Chainlink has joined the Canton Network as a super validator, deepening the blockchain’s institutional focus and bringing a suite of oracle services to its privacy-driven architecture.
The move aligns Canton’s ambitions for large-scale tokenisation and regulated financial activity with Chainlink’s proven infrastructure in securing real-world data and cross-chain communication.
The Chainlink integration into the Canton Network
As part of the agreement, Chainlink Labs will operate as a super validator on Canton.
In this role, it will run a combined node that functions as both a domain validator and a synchronizer, giving it a hand in ordering and finalising cross-domain transactions.
This integration places Chainlink at the core of Canton’s consensus process, ensuring transaction finality while also bolstering the network’s interoperability across different domains.
Canton has also joined the Chainlink Scale program, which helps manage the costs of running oracles on-chain.
The collaboration also extends Chainlink’s data services to the Canton Network, including its real-time data streams, proof of reserve, and NAVLink, along with the cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP).
These tools are designed to allow institutions in Canton to connect securely with external data sources, tokenised assets, and even other blockchains.
The arrangement underscores Canton’s strategy of creating a controlled but flexible environment where traditional
