What is Canton Coin (CC)?

Canton Coin (CC) is the native utility coin of the Canton Network — a public, permissionless "network of networks" blockchain purpose-built for institutional finance by Digital Asset, the company behind the Daml smart-contract language. CC pays application and infrastructure fees on the Global Synchronizer and rewards validators, app operators, and infrastructure providers for network contribution. Applications connect as independent "domains" with privacy controls kept at the application level — a design aimed at regulated institutions rather than anonymity. CoinDesk reported roughly $8 trillion per month in repo transaction volume on Canton as of June 2026.

When was Canton Coin's launch date?

The Canton Network's public architecture launched on May 9, 2023. The Global Synchronizer mainnet — the network's core coordination layer — went live with Canton Coin on July 1, 2024. Exchange listings and the token generation event followed on October 31, 2025.

What is Canton Coin's total and maximum supply?

Canton Coin's total supply stood at roughly 39.68 billion CC as of September 2026, per DropsTab data. Maximum supply is uncapped — the Canton team has explicitly rejected the widely repeated "100 billion hard cap" assumption (canton.network, October 31, 2025). New CC mints continuously as network rewards on a declining emission curve, so total supply grows unless fee burns offset the minting.

Does Canton Coin have a contract address?

Canton Coin has no contract address. CC is the native coin of the Canton Network blockchain — not an ERC-20 or SPL token — so no on-chain contract exists to verify. Every CC is minted directly as a network reward. Any "CC contract address" circulating online points to an unrelated token, not the native asset.

Is there a Canton Coin vesting schedule or unlock calendar?

No. Canton Coin had no pre-mine, no token sale allocations, and no founder tranches at launch — every CC enters circulation exclusively as a minted network reward. Digital Asset's investor equity is separate from the coin. Sell-pressure risk comes from the emission curve rather than cliff expiries: uncapped reward minting is a permanent, structural dilution vector, partially countered by fee burns.

How does the Canton Coin burn-mint model work?

Canton Network runs a Burn-Mint Equilibrium: all transaction and application fees on the Global Synchronizer are burned, while new CC mints on a declining emission curve to reward network contribution. Third-party analyses put minting at roughly 2.5 billion CC per year under the prevailing schedule. Messari reported fee burns of about 15 million CC per day as of February 2026 — a burn-to-mint ratio near 0.65. Whether burn volume outpaces emission is the permanent inflation variable for CC holders.

Which investors backed Canton Network and Digital Asset?

Digital Asset raised equity funding across 10 rounds between February 2016 and June 2026, per DropsTab fundraising data. The earliest round raised $60 million in February 2016, led by Goldman Sachs with J.P. Morgan, DTCC, and IBM. The most recent — a $355 million strategic round announced June 11, 2026 — was led by a16z crypto with Citadel Securities, Apollo Funds, ADIA, HSBC, and BNP Paribas. These rounds funded the company, not a token sale. Backing spreads across dozens of Tier-1 institutions rather than a single VC.

Did Canton Coin have an airdrop?

Canton Coin launched without an airdrop, ICO, or pre-sale — consistent with the no-pre-mine design in which all CC is earned as network rewards. The network ran one earning campaign: Canton Core Phase 1, a quest program on Canton Network that ran October 6–24, 2025, offering rewards, skill levels, and a certification opportunity. Bybit Launchpool allocated 10 million CC to a community sale on November 10, 2025. No ongoing earning campaign is live.

What exchanges list Canton Coin?

Canton Coin trades exclusively on centralized exchanges — zero DEX liquidity exists because CC is a native coin with no on-chain contract, so no token pools can form. Spot venues include Kraken, Bybit, OKX, Upbit, and Bithumb, with USDT/USD as the main quote pairs plus notable KRW books on Upbit and Bithumb. Binance carries CC only as a USDT perpetual futures contract, not spot. Per DropsTab data, CC lists across 35+ spot and derivatives markets, and price discovery concentrates on Bybit, Kraken, and OKX spot books plus the Binance perp.
