[video] Humbled to share that Zenith has joined @The_DTCC’s Industry Working Group. DTCC sits behind roughly $114 trillion in U.S. securities. More than 100 firms (BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi, Nasdaq, NYSE, Digital Asset, and others) are now helping design how equities,

[image] This quote below sums up my article pretty succinctly and also is a macrocosm of my journey in crypto across the last decade. It’s the reason I’ve committed all of my time and @ZenithFdn’s resources to supporting @CantonNetwork. When I found out @digitalasset and @DRWTrading had

[video] At @ZenithFdn we imagined, “what if Canton’s global synchronizer was able to include every L1?” However, we realized, in practice, the solution to minimizing attack vectors and bridging risks was instead to bring the application layer of these L1s natively and securely into

[text] The Ethereum Foundation is out of runway. @CantonNetwork is built for exactly this moment. EF went from holding 17% of ETH supply at launch to 0.1% today. They’ve sold $700M over five years at an average ~$3,500/ETH. Their last sale was 25k ETH at $2,400. They’re now running on

[image] TradFi vs Crypto volumes show a massive scale difference but tokenization via networks like @CantonNetwork bridges them and captures enormous flows. TradFi giants processed staggering numbers: • @The_DTCC handled about $3.7 quadrillion dollars in securities transactions settled

[image] In this lengthy thought piece, I'll explain in granular detail why @CantonNetwork is explicitly better in all regards when put head-to-head against @solana, @Ethereumfndn, @zksync, @Zcash, @Cardano, @Ripple, @suinetwork and all other protocols. ☝️ This is a position I'd not

[text] 🚨 If you learn one thing today, let it be this 👇 Zenith built THE FIRST atomically composable EVM. No other network has ever added a new VM and made it truly atomically composable with its existing one. Subnets, appchains, rollups, validiums, sidechains, prividiums… none of

[text] 🚨 $CC lists on UPbit The largest volume exchange in Korea, and likely globally if we’re going by organic volume, has just listed $CC. Big win for @CantonNetwork! Zth.

[image] This could have never happened on @ZenithFdn, because we would have never allowed Supra to offer its oracles, or any of its “products”, in our network. Zth.

[text] The missing piece, that the industry has still not realized is the unlock to the Venn diagram here, is that everyone has been overvaluing asset interoperability and entirely overlooking application composability. The metrics: distribution & volume - reoccurring and consistent.

[image] We made our commitment to @CantonNetwork in Q1 2025, almost 1.5 years ago now. That shift took @ZenithFdn building for real-time proving (sub ~12s blocks) for the Ethereum Foundation to then investigate RISC-V for Canton. After co-architecting and redesigning the solution with

[image] Visa’s @CantonNetwork Super Validator is rated as a Weight of 10, the maximum given in the network. That’s the same as Nasdaq and the DTCC. That’s the same as @ZenithFdn. Let that sink in for a minute. Zth.

[text] 🚨 MARCH’S CANTON SIGNAL HAS DROPPED! Notable mentions: • @Visa joins as Super Validator (weight 10) • @apolloglobal joins as Super Validator (weight 7) with nearly $1T AUM • @ZenithFdn launches the canonical EVM execution layer on Canton (200K+ tx already processed)

[video] 🚨 DTCC CEO Frank La Salla on why @CantonNetwork is vital: "How do we use [blockchain] for traditional assets? The numbers we are talking about... it's enormous." Now DTCC has the green light, in Dec. 2025 the SEC issued a No-Action Letter clearing the path for DTCC to tokenize

[text] Sounds undervalued… $3.5B sounds like a sweet spot. @CantonNetwork @ZenithFdn @a16z Zth.

[image] When an institution uses @ZenithFdn, it is still operating as @CantonNetwork. Privacy, regulatory boundaries, and institutional settlement stay intact. Value remains on the network that already processes more than $9 trillion in monthly volume. Why does this matters for

[text] Something is coming. @CantonNetwork Zth.

[video] This is @CantonNetwork’s future when @ZenithFdn goes into production. EVM and SVM chains alike. However, all TX will pass through mainnet. There is no isolation. That means a multiplier effect on $CC burned for each new virtual blockchain. On top of that, all virtual

[image] There are two ways to build on @ZenithFdn. To be clear: full state, block production, and finality rely entirely on Canton’s consensus. This is not your standard L2/rollup model. Deploying via Zenith is truly atomic and native. 1. Deploy on the public, permissionless Canton EVM

[text] Just dropped Part 2 of “After The Close” with @andres_solt diving deep into @CantonNetwork and what we’re building with @ZenithFdn. This one is juicy. TLDR: I see Canton as a top-3 “crypto”asset (potentially #1 or #2) in the next five years because of institutional adoption,
