Canton Network x Denarii Labs
Build the future of institutional finance
Denarii Labs is partnering with the Canton Network to invest in the next generation of startups building privacy-first, composable financial applications for regulated markets.
Purpose-Built for Institutional Finance
Canton wasn’t created to solve a single blockchain challenge in isolation. It was purpose-built for institutions, where privacy, composability, and scalability must work together — without compromise.
While other networks force trade-offs between privacy, composability, and scale, Canton’s integrated design delivers all three. Private sidechains and L2s force a binary choice: see everything or see nothing. Canton introduces a nuanced model — native configurability at scale, synchronized across the L1 and all subnetworks.
Atomic swaps between stablecoins and tokenized assets work on public L1s — but sacrifice privacy. The moment you add regulated assets, other chains push you to subnets that break atomicity and reintroduce counterparty risk through bridges. Canton delivers atomic transaction composition across the entire network with configurable privacy intact.
Canton’s modular network-of-networks scales horizontally: capacity grows with every new subnetwork, isolating resources while institutions control their own destiny and benefit from shared trust.

Canton is a purpose-built blockchain for institutional finance that delivers programmable privacy, atomic composability, and modular scalability without compromise. It’s the network where Goldman Sachs, Broadridge, and leading crypto-native applications build and interoperate.
Each project receives a $100K investment from Denarii Labs. Investment terms are founder-friendly and structured to align with the project’s stage and regulatory requirements.
No. We welcome projects at all stages — from those exploring Canton as their target chain, to teams already building on the network. The program includes Canton architecture orientation and technical onboarding.
The program is fully remote and runs for 12 weeks. Expect to dedicate 10–15 hours per week to program activities, including mentor sessions, workshops, cohort calls, and independent work.
We’re investing in early-stage teams building applications that leverage Canton’s unique architecture for regulated financial markets — including tokenized RWAs, privacy-preserving DeFi, cross-network settlement, compliance infrastructure, developer tooling, and stablecoin/payments platforms.
Unlike private sidechains that force an all-or-nothing visibility model, Canton introduces programmable privacy at the smart contract level. Parties only see what they need to see — while still benefiting from atomic composability across the entire network.
