[NEW YORK, March 26, 2026] – LayerZero today announced its integration on the Canton Network, the only public, permissionless blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance. LayerZero will be the first interoperability protocol live on Canton, and this integration enables traditional financial institutions on Canton to securely and efficiently route tokenized assets across more than 165 public blockchains, while maintaining regulatory and compliance standards.
Unlike most public chains, where transaction data is visible, Canton was designed to provide the configurable privacy and control required to meet the compliance and confidentiality requirements of regulated finance, while maintaining composability for on-chain financial applications.
LayerZero has $95B in assets secured across 750 applications, which are now able to deploy to Canton using LayerZero’s infrastructure.
With this integration, LayerZero and Canton are unlocking powerful new markets for tokenized assets. For instance, investors can fund primary purchases of Canton-based assets using stablecoins from external public blockchains. Similarly, asset issuers can permit tokenized securities, digital bonds and equities issued on Canton to move seamlessly across other blockchain ecosystems for secondary market trading.
Quote from Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Growth at Digital Asset:
"This integration gives issuers on any chain the ability to bring their assets to Canton, where trillions of assets are already flowing, and these issuers will be able to benefit from Canton’s privacy model. At the same time, this will enable issuers on Canton to seamlessly move their assets into other ecosystems.”
Quote from Bryan Pellegrino, CEO of LayerZero Labs:
"Canton has already built the rails for traditional finance, processing more than $350B in daily U.S. Treasury repo volume. LayerZero’s job is to make sure those assets are available in every global market, across blockchains. By enabling assets to move easily between Canton and all public blockchains, LayerZero is hopefully increasing the velocity of global tokenized capital. A tokenized asset should be able to live anywhere, and now, it can."
