Canton’s Decentralized App Layer Launches, Backed by $1M+ Foundation Grant
New York, United States, July 28th, 2026, Chainwire
BitSafe has released infrastructure for builders launching decentralized financial applications on Canton Network.
Backed by a Canton Foundation Development Fund grant of over $1 million (8,500,000 $CC), BitSafe today opened the public beta of Decentralization Manager, an open-sourced framework allowing apps and institutions to build resilient products that distribute control across multiple independent operators.
Canton Network has become critical infrastructure for institutions bringing real capital and operations on-chain. Meeting institutional application standards requires audit trails and distributed trust, but until now every team building on Canton has had to build threshold custody, governance, and audit infrastructure from scratch. Decentralization Manager makes those reusable, so teams build the application, not the infrastructure.
Independently audited by Quantstamp, Decentralization Manager marks an exciting expansion of on-chain use cases and allows institutions to continue leveraging the network’s privacy-native architecture while mitigating risk by distributing their operations.
Decentralization Manager ships with pre-built frameworks for token issuance and custody and enables additional products such as:
- Token issuance: Issuers can launch and govern Canton-native tokens, ranging from wrapped cryptoassets to stablecoins and RWAs.
- Custody and multi-signature wallets: Teams can hold and transfer assets under shared, multi-party control, removing reliance on any single custodian.
- Tokenized real-world assets and securities: Builders can bring real-world assets on-chain and govern them under distributed control.
- DEXs, lending, and structured products: Institutions can launch institutional-grade financial applications with Decentralization Manager.
Contact us to start launching decentralized applications and assets.
CBTC, the first non-native asset on Canton, is the first live use case of Decentralization Manager. With over 10 million transactions to date, node operators powering CBTC already earn a share of Canton fees from on-chain transactions. Decentralization Manager now extends that opportunity across the network. Application builders get an easier path to high quality node operators who can support their products, and those operators earn the same share of Canton fees in return.
“The future of institutional blockchain depends on making sophisticated infrastructure easier to build and adopt,” said Viv Diwakar, Head of the Canton Foundation. “By open-sourcing Decentralization Manager, BitSafe is giving developers the tools to create resilient, privacy-preserving applications that distribute trust across independent operators without compromising the governance and control institutions require. Contributions like this strengthen the Canton ecosystem and help accelerate the growth of institutional digital assets and tokenized financial markets. We’re pleased to see BitSafe making this capability available to the wider community and look forward to seeing the next generation of institutional applications built on Canton.”
As of today, Palladium Labs is the first builder announced using Decentralization Manager to enable multi-party authorization for protocol operations. “Distributed trust and full auditability are table stakes for institutional-grade credit infrastructure like Alpend,” said Akshay Sinha, Cofounder & CTO of Palladium Labs. “Decentralization Manager makes that a framework the entire Canton ecosystem can build on. Adopting it was one of the easier decisions we’ve made.”
In addition to Palladium, CBTC Attestors Nethermind, DSRV, and Finoa Consensus Services have already implemented Decentralization Manager. Their institutional participation affirms a collective effort across Canton to embrace decentralized technology that prioritizes data privacy, operational control, and resilience.
The public beta is open now on the Canton Foundation’s GitHub, with an additional grant application underway. Builders who need operators to complete their Decentralized Party can reach out to BitSafe to be matched with vetted, institutional-grade node operators. Institutions looking to issue and govern Canton-native tokens can engage BitSafe’s Decentralization Services for custom tokenization engagements.
Additional quotes from ecosystem partners:
“The CBTC Decentralized Party has shown how far Canton has come, and the public beta opening of Decentralization Manager is a big step for the whole ecosystem. Onboarding was remarkably smooth for our team – contract deployment was essentially one click. For any app still running on a single validator, this is the easiest path we’ve seen to move beyond a single point of failure.” – Joonkyo Kim, CTO, DSRV
”As one of the attestors securing CBTC, we’ve operated inside BitSafe’s decentralized signing architecture from an early stage, so we’ve seen firsthand what it takes to distribute trust across independent operators in production. Onboarding into Decentralization Manager was refreshingly straightforward, the admin tooling is intuitive and whenever we hit an issue the BitSafe team resolved it quickly and communicated the whole way through.
Institutions bringing real assets onto Canton increasingly expect exactly this: no single point of control with the audit trails and operational resilience their risk teams demand. Making that kind of infrastructure open and repeatable is a meaningful step for the ecosystem.” – Mateusz Jędrzejewski, CIO, Nethermind
“BitSafe’s Decentralization Manager turns the infrastructure we already run into a setup with no single point of failure, the kind institutions expect from Canton. We’re glad to extend our partnership with BitSafe and look forward to building more together as new applications join the network.” – Daniel Schrader, Managing Director, Finoa Consensus Services

Press Release
Beyond the $40 Billion RWA Headline: Drofa Comms × RWA Summit Report Identifies Four Challenges for 2027
London, The United Kingdom, November 3rd, 2026, FinanceWire
The value of distributed tokenised real-world assets (RWAs) approached $40 billion by 13 October 2026, according to RWA.xyz. At the beginning of the year, though, it stood at approximately $21.5 billion, according to Binance Research. Yet, despite this near-doubling in value, the figures say little about how easily investors can trade these assets, use them as collateral or exercise their rights in cross-border transactions.
This divergence between issuance and real-world use is the outset for “Tokenise First, Figure It Out Later: The RWA Dilemma”, a new report from Drofa Comms in collaboration with RWA WEEK, organiser of RWA Summit Singapore 2026. Drawing on discussions at the 9 October summit, where Drofa Comms participated as a media partner of RWA WEEK, the report examines what it takes for tokenised assets to develop functioning markets, meet legal requirements and deliver measurable financial benefits.
Looking ahead to 2027, Drofa Comms identifies four indicators that offer a more useful measure of RWA market maturity than the total value of assets issued on-chain:
- Secondary-market activity: Trading depth and turnover, alongside realistic opportunities for investors to sell tokens after issuance.
- Institutional capital efficiency: Measurable reductions in pre-funding requirements and the ability to use tokenised holdings as collateral.
- Legal certainty: Enforceable ownership and redemption rights, including workable arrangements for cross-border transactions.
- Commercial sustainability: Repeat customer activity and revenues sufficient to support viable services.
The report scrutinises how regulatory requirements differ between jurisdictions, what it takes to develop genuine secondary markets and how tokenised assets may function as collateral. It also examines institutional and everyday payments, from reducing pre-funded balances through stablecoin settlement to connecting digital assets with payment cards.
“The RWA industry faces a test of maturity. As the value of tokenised assets grows, the question is how much of that growth translates into functioning markets, wider use by financial institutions and measurable economic benefits. Issuance figures alone cannot be the answer. At Drofa Comms, we believe that the industry’s development also depends on how openly companies address the challenges involved. Investors and financial institutions need enough information to assess both the opportunities and the limitations of tokenisation,” said Valentina Drofa, Founder & CEO of Drofa Comms.
Beyond investment products, the report also highlights how digital assets are already being used in traditional industries.
“Everyone is talking about the tokenization of financial products and real estate, but the real movement is happening in industries you probably wouldn’t expect. Think trade finance operators, the shipping industry, or precious metals mining businesses. They are already using stablecoins for cross-border transactions and understand why instant settlement is better than T+2.” said Ivan V. Ivanov, Founder of UVECON.VC, UVC GROUP and RWA WEEK commented on these developments.
The report draws on perspectives from speakers and experts affiliated with TRM Labs, Galaxy, Sygnum Bank, Nethermind, Spartan Group, Theoriq, Reap, KAST, Algebra / Theorem, Drofa Comms and other organisations.

Made By WiFi Publishes a Free Year-End Guide to Help Offices Check Their WiFi Before Budgets Are Set
The six-step guide takes office managers and IT leads through a coverage, equipment and security audit, a site survey, and a budget request.
Long Island City, New York, United States, 3rd Nov 2026 – Made By WiFi, an enterprise wireless and event WiFi company, today published a free six-step guide that helps office managers, IT leads and operations teams review their office WiFi while budgets for the coming year are being planned.
Office WiFi is easy to ignore until it fails, but budget season is when it is easiest to fund. A written list of what is actually wrong, such as a conference room that drops calls or an access point that has been running since before the last office move, carries far more weight in a budget request than a general complaint that the network is slow.
The guide, “Year-End WiFi Checklist for Your Office,” breaks the review into six steps. The first four are a self-audit that a small office can complete in an afternoon: walking the space to note where the signal fails, taking stock of equipment and WiFi standards, checking security and guest access, and finding out who owns and monitors the network. Step five is a wireless site survey, which turns those observations into measurements. Step six puts the findings into a budget request.
The guide also explains why timing matters. Once a budget is set, new spending has to be justified against items already approved. A survey, a written recommendation, approval and installation each take time. And equipment bought without a survey tends to leave some rooms with too many access points and others with too few.
A site survey from Made By WiFi measures signal strength, coverage and interference, and produces a written report with coverage heatmaps, recommended access point positions and an equipment specification. The report is delivered in an industry-standard format and can be taken to any installer. Surveys are done on site in New York and New Jersey and remotely for businesses anywhere in the country. Businesses that are not ready for a survey can use Made By WiFi’s wireless network consulting for an independent view on what to do next.
The full guide is available at https://madebywifi.com/blog/year-end-office-wifi-checklist/.
About Made By WiFi
Made By WiFi designs, installs and supports enterprise wireless networks and provides WiFi for events. Since 2017, the company has helped businesses get reliable connectivity in offices, warehouses, hotels, healthcare facilities and temporary event spaces, with recommendations based on what each environment needs and not on a preferred brand. Hands-on work is delivered in New York and New Jersey, while wireless site surveys and 5G hotspot kit rentals are available to businesses across the United States.
