This is my first experience of walking into the blockchain industry, and I’ve entered the scene with Canton Network’s smart contract project development focusing on daml-finance.
While doing research to select a network for smart contract development, I decided to develop smart contract projects with daml, because of the permissioned blockchain ecosystem and being mesmerized by the consensus mechanism of Canton Network. Most of all, with the trend of RWA tokenization significantly increasing along with regulatory compliance since 2025, especially with financial institutions integrating their systems and blockchains into Canton Network.
Unlike the Canton Network is developing as a mainstream digital transaction practice with the potential to outperform public blockchains, there is no tokenized instrument like crypto, like Bitcoin, which became a catalyst of the public blockchain industry’s booming.
End of the first quarter of this year, DTCC is expected to launch a new smart contract template for tokenizing U.S. Treasury securities in Canton Network, which means U.S. Treasuries with maturities from 2 years to 30 years will be tokenized in the market, and the daily trade volume of U.S. Treasuries in Canton Network will be recorded beyond the volume of current tokenized bond industry.
With tokenized bonds expected to be supplied with an explosive volume on the Canton Network, I expect new forms of securities design, issuance and offering practices will be normalized through permissioned networks, and new forms of financial instruments that will be invented and only available in permissioned blockchain, by utilizing the singularity of permissioned blockchain, to imitate the market demand of cryptocurrency with regulatory compliance.
As the market says, I believe that the tokenization trend will certainly be a focus of the entire blockchain industry this year, and to make the trend solid, there should be a financial instrument that can only be designed in a permissioned blockchain.
That is why I have become captivated by permissioned networks and daml-finance, because the direction of the permissioned network ecosystem is heading toward compliance, unlike public blockchains demonstrating moral hazard over a decade.
