Episode notes
Years Of Quiet Institutional Work
- Shal describes Canton as a long-term project that began around 2014 and only recently gained public momentum.
- He says the team tuned out crypto Twitter noise while institutional adoption quietly compounded over years.
Privacy Explains Hidden On‑Chain Volume
- Canton is a public permissionless L1 built with privacy so institutions can control visibility of their assets.
- The network's privacy means on-chain volumes are underreported because many transactions are intentionally hidden.
Design Shaped By Early Bank Feedback
- Shal recounts meeting big banks daily since 2014 and learning institutional requirements first-hand.
- Those early conversations led Canton to design private, permissioned workflows before going fully public.
