Canton Network joins Chainlink Scale program to accelerate institutional adoption by providing access to Chainlink’s industry-standard data and cross-chain infrastructure on the Canton Network. Chainlink Labs will also join Canton Network as a Super Validator, becoming a key participant in the Global Synchronizer.
NEW YORK, NY – September 24, 2025 – The Canton Network, the public, permissionless blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance, and Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, announced today a strategic partnership to accelerate the institutional adoption of the Canton Network ecosystem. Through this partnership, the Canton Network has joined the Chainlink Scale program and is integrating Chainlink Data Streams, SmartData (Proof of Reserve, NAVLink), and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP). Chainlink provides the institutions in the Canton Network ecosystem with access to the same robust infrastructure that secures over $100B in the DeFi economy and has enabled $25 trillion in transaction value. Chainlink Labs will join the Canton Network as a Super Validator, a multi-component node consisting of a Validator and a Canton Synchronizer node, that participates in the Global Synchronizer.
The strategic partnership marks a significant step forward in integrating the scale and resilience of Chainlink’s industry-standard infrastructure with Canton’s proven ability to meet the regulatory and privacy requirements of institutional finance. Chainlink’s deepening involvement in the Canton Network ecosystem is expected to create new opportunities for growth and collaboration across Canton for financial institutions, further advancing its momentum as the go-to blockchain for real-world institutional use cases.
The Canton Network features one of the most extensive rosters of institutional ecosystem participants, which can be found here. The Canton Network supports over $6T in on-chain real-world assets, processing $280bn in repos daily, and is backed by a network of 500 validators and over 30 super validators.
By joining the Chainlink Scale program, the Canton Network is equipping institutions with cost-efficient and highly secure Chainlink services. As part of the program, the Canton Network will cover certain operating costs of Chainlink oracle nodes that supply the network with a variety of data solutions and other oracle services. As a result, Canton will expand its connectivity, resilience, and transparency—supporting innovation across tokenized and on-chain assets, stablecoins, payments, and digital identity solutions.
“I’m very excited that the Canton Network has chosen Chainlink to power secure data and cross-chain interoperability across their institutional ecosystem. Canton’s leadership in privacy and compliance makes them a key driver of institutional blockchain adoption, and this collaboration combines those strengths with Chainlink’s proven infrastructure. Together, we’re enabling large-scale real-world use cases and accelerating the convergence of traditional and decentralized capital markets.” — Sergey Nazarov, Chainlink Co-Founder
“As one of the most recognized leaders in decentralized services, Chainlink’s commitment to the Canton Network represents an important milestone in expanding the connectivity of capital markets,” said Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset. “By bringing its community and solutions to Canton, Chainlink not only strengthens our governance and resilience, but also broadens the opportunities for innovators across traditional and decentralized finance.”
Chainlink’s involvement reflects strong demand from shared institutional partners, many of whom are actively evaluating and going live with tokenized and onchain assets. With Chainlink’s industry-standard infrastructure soon to be available on Canton, institutions and developers alike will have new opportunities to collaborate, build, and scale on a blockchain network purpose-built for regulated financial markets.
The addition of Chainlink continues the Canton Network’s momentum in onboarding world-class institutions and technology providers, reinforcing its role as the premier blockchain for connecting traditional and decentralized financial worlds. This partnership builds on the recent news of Chainlink Labs joining the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF), the governance body overseeing the Global Synchronizer—the interoperability layer of the Canton Network.
