The Canton Network has joined the Chainlink SCALE program and entered a strategic partnership with Chainlink to accelerate institutional blockchain adoption. The agreement integrates Chainlink’s Data Streams, SmartData products, and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) into Canton’s infrastructure, which currently supports over $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets and processes $280 billion in daily repo transactions.
As part of the partnership, Chainlink Labs will join Canton as a Super Validator, becoming a key participant in the Global Synchronizer—Canton’s interoperability layer. The move also includes Chainlink Labs joining the Canton Foundation, reinforcing governance and validator diversity across the ecosystem’s 500 validators and 30+ super validators.
Chainlink’s infrastructure, which secures over $100 billion in DeFi and has enabled $25 trillion in transaction volume, will now be available to Canton institutions. By participating in the SCALE program, Canton will subsidize operational costs for Chainlink oracle nodes, improving data access, transparency, and connectivity across tokenized assets, stablecoins, digital identity solutions, and cross-chain settlement layers.
Chainlink-Canton deal deepens push for regulated DeFi rails
The collaboration highlights rising demand for compliant blockchain infrastructure. Chainlink’s involvement aligns with institutional interest in tokenization, as both networks work to bridge traditional and decentralized finance.
Backed by major financial players, Canton is positioning itself as a hub for regulated blockchain use. Its integration with Chainlink brings real-time interoperability and expands access to oracle-powered services.
