Introducing DA Registry

Today, we're announcing the latest version of DA Registry: the tokenization launchpad to launch and monetize institutional-grade digital assets on Canton Network.

Already trusted by more than 35 tokenization platform providers and issuers, the capabilities unlocked by DA Registry put assets and cash to work in more than 1.5 million daily transactions on Canton.

This momentum is reflected in announcements by market leaders partnering with DA today, including: Archax, Brale, Circle, Franklin Templeton, HSBC, Lloyds, LSEG, Obligate, Taurus, and major Financial Market Infrastructure players.

The application provides an integrated solution to directly control and execute Canton token standard smart contract workflows for configuration, issuance, transfer, settlement and compliance - with secure connectivity across wallet and custody providers.

Deep ecosystem connectivity propels privacy-enabled asset distribution, liquidity and utility across Canton. From Day 1, assets managed by platforms using DA Registry can seamlessly connect across the network, spanning exchanges like Bybit, Kraken, and Gate; institutional wallet and custody providers including Fireblocks, BitGo, Dfns and Blockdaemon; traditional trading platforms like Tradeweb, and DeFi applications such as lending and borrowing protocols.

Whether you want to offer tokenization solutions or bring assets to Canton, DA Registry is the proven foundation for composable assets and services that inherit Canton’s privacy and control out-of-the-box - all delivered, maintained and supported by the team that created Canton.

For tokenization platforms and digital asset issuers

Whether you want to run a tokenization platform or issue assets through your own Canton platform, DA meets you where you are:

• Use the DA Registry dApp UI to start immediately without building your own interface - just bring your wallet and asset operations to start bringing assets to the network.

• Or integrate into your existing tokenization platform and user experience via API.
• Alternatively, issue through a tokenization platform powered by DA Registry.

Launch fast. Earn continuously.

Bring assets to Canton in days and participate in an economic model designed to reward applications and assets creating value in the ecosystem.

Every transaction involving assets on your platform generates protocol-level, fee-based rewards. All without the need to maintain token standards, network upgrades or tokenomics infrastructure yourself.

Platform providers

Whether you're a custodian, wallet, exchange, infrastructure provider, or institution, DA delivers the pre-built smart contracts, embedded compliance and managed operations to quickly get started on Canton.

• Fast time to value with production-ready and token standard issuance, settlement and lifecycle workflows.

• Configurable compliance including permissioning controls, verifiable onchain credentials and integrations with leading AML/KYC providers.

• Network-wide utility enabling clients to immediately mobilize privacy-enabled assets across the Canton ecosystem.

"We've used the DA Registry to enable the issuance of 10+ stablecoins and onboard more than 50 businesses, resulting in 1M+ transactions on the network. Its standardized smart contracts significantly accelerated our development timeline, allowing us to integrate stablecoin issuance, onramps and custody with Canton's Global Synchronizer. This combination has created a robust foundation for institutional clients seeking private payments and regulated financial transactions."

Digital asset issuers

If you're launching a stablecoin, tokenized deposit, money market fund, or other real-world financial asset on Canton, DA Registry provides the tokenization engine to:

• Issue institutional-grade, privacy-enabled digital assets that can scale with real-world capital markets and payment use cases.

• Put assets to work with instant connectivity to users and onchain markets via wallets, custodians, exchanges and apps for distribution, liquidity and utility.

• Stay compliant with built-in allowlists, blocklists and credentials that evolve alongside Canton standards and regulatory requirements.

"DA Registry let us ship institutional-grade Bitcoin infrastructure at startup speed. Instead of building token standards from scratch, we focused on what makes CBTC different. Today, CBTC is live at production scale, integrated natively across venues and apps throughout the ecosystem."

Aki Balogh
CEO, BitSafe

Compliance by design
Configurable compliance controls to embed access rules, transfer restrictions and verifiable credentials into asset logic, and ready-made hooks to AML providers and for selective data publishing.

• Configurable allowlists and blocklists - built-in compliance controls in asset configuration, mint, burn and transfer logic.
