Para × Canton Network: Bringing MPC Wallet Infrastructure to Institutional Finance

Para is now live on Canton Network. Through this partnership, developers get native Canton signing backed by the same MPC, non-custodial security model that already protects 15M+ end users and hundreds of customers.

Canton is where regulated finance is moving onchain, with participation from financial institutions like the DTCC, Goldman Sachs, and JPMorgan. Institutions are already building on Canton, tokenizing U.S. Treasuries, settling trillions and running production digital asset platforms.

Why Canton and Why Now

Most public blockchains were built around transparency. That's fine for a lot of use cases, but it is a hard blocker for regulated finance. Traders can't broadcast collateral positions to competitors. Treasurers can't expose payment flows. Banks can't tokenize securities on infrastructure where every counterparty and balance is visible by default.

Canton was built to fix this. Sub-transaction privacy means participants see only the part of a transaction that applies to them. Atomic settlement and interoperability stay intact. It's the only public blockchain where regulated institutions can transact without choosing between privacy and composability.

What this Unlocks for Para’s Customer Base

Para customers serve a wide spectrum — real-world asset platforms, fintechs, payments apps, consumer crypto products — and Canton support opens different doors for each.

For institutional and B2B platforms: Sign Canton transactions for tokenized Treasuries, repo financing, securities settlement, and collateral workflows alongside the EVM stablecoin rails your users already touch.

For tokenization providers: Issue, hold, and transfer Canton-native assets like bonds, money market funds, private credit, real estate with the same wallet infrastructure handling your on-ramps and distribution on other chains.

For payments and treasury apps: Connect corporate users to Canton-issued stablecoins, deposit tokens, and tokenized cash-equivalents as they appear, without spinning up new key management infrastructure. Stablecoin.xyz's SBC asset is already leading the charge here for B2B use cases in the Canton ecosystem

For consumer apps: Give end users a single Para wallet that holds Canton-issued assets next to their EVM and Solana balances. As tokenized Treasuries and money market funds become retail-accessible, the wallet is ready.

For wallet providers building for everyone: Offer one wallet, one auth flow, and one policy surface across every ecosystem your users care about, including the one the institutional world is migrating to.

Canton Support

Canton support on Para comes with a few key features:

Native Canton key generation and signing with the same security model Para's MPC system generates Canton-compatible keys using distributed key generation. Keys are never assembled in one place.

One integration, every chain. Canton sits next to Ethereum, Base, Solana, and every other chain Para supports, under one SDK and set of access controls.

Programmable policy and permissions. Set transaction limits, approval workflows, allowlists, and compliance rules across all the chains your users transact on, from one place.
