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.

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

People want to compare prices online the way they do on Amazon. So we created a new platform that pre-screens Fresno air conditioning and HVAC companies using AI — reviewing reputation across Google, Yelp, BBB, and social media — then delivers three competitive quotes homeowners can compare side by side.

United States, 28th Jul 2026 – 3HVACQuotes today announced the launch of its AI-powered HVAC matching service for homeowners in Fresno, California. The platform is designed to solve one of the most frustrating parts of any heating or cooling project: the time-consuming, labor-intensive process of scheduling multiple contractors to visit your home just to get a price on an air conditioner or HVAC system.

Instead of blocking off an afternoon for each company, waiting through no-shows, and sitting through repeated sales pitches, Fresno homeowners can now use 3HVACQuotes to receive up to three competitive quotes from pre-screened local HVAC companies — all from a single request that takes about a minute to complete.

Solving a Real Problem for Fresno Homeowners

Getting an accurate price on HVAC work has traditionally meant inviting several contractors into your home, one at a time, each on their own schedule. For a busy Fresno household, that can mean days of coordination, multiple appointments, and pressure-filled in-person estimates — often before a homeowner even knows whether a company is reputable or fairly priced.

“Homeowners shouldn’t have to take time off work three separate times just to find out what a new air conditioner should cost,” said a spokesperson for 3HVACQuotes. “We built this to do the heavy lifting for them. You tell us what you need once, and we bring three vetted, competitive quotes to you. No chasing contractors, no wondering whether the company at your door is trustworthy.”

The service is completely free for homeowners, with no obligation to hire any of the companies matched.

How the AI Pre-Screening Works

What sets 3HVACQuotes apart is the technology behind the matching. Rather than simply forwarding a homeowner’s information to whichever contractor pays the most, the platform uses AI to evaluate HVAC and air conditioning companies before they are ever presented to a homeowner.

The AI reviews a company’s reputation across a wide range of sources, including:

• Google reviews and Google Business Profiles
• Yelp ratings and customer feedback
• Better Business Bureau (BBB) records and ratings
• Social media presence, including Facebook and X
• Neighborhood and community discussions across the web

Beyond reviews, the system also weighs practical, real-world factors that matter to homeowners making a significant investment: years in business, overall reputation, proper licensing, and active insurance coverage. By combining reputation data with these credentials, 3HVACQuotes aims to surface the most reputable, best-reviewed, and competitively priced HVAC companies serving the Fresno area.

The result is a shortlist a homeowner can trust — companies that have already cleared a meaningful vetting process before they ever pick up the phone.

Built for Fresno’s Climate and Homes

Few places in California put an HVAC system to the test like Fresno. Central Valley summers are long, dry, and brutally hot, with stretches of triple-digit days that force air conditioners to run hard for months at a time. A system that’s undersized, poorly installed, or nearing the end of its life often fails at the worst possible moment — in the middle of a July heat wave — and equipment that runs that hard for that long simply wears out faster.

Fresno’s demands don’t stop when summer ends. Unlike coastal markets, the Valley sees genuinely cold winter nights, so a dependable furnace and true year-round heating performance matter just as much as cooling. Add in Valley dust and seasonal air-quality concerns, and proper equipment sizing, ductwork, and filtration become real factors in comfort and cost. Choosing a contractor who understands how to size and install systems for these conditions can be the difference between a system that lasts and one that struggles. 3HVACQuotes’s local focus is designed to connect Fresno residents with pros who know the Central Valley and the equipment that holds up here.

Compare 3 Quotes, Choose With Confidence

Once a homeowner submits a request, the process is straightforward:

1. Tell us what you need. Answer a few quick questions about the project — whether it’s an AC repair, a full system replacement, or a new installation. It takes under a minute.

2. Get matched with three pros. 3HVACQuotes connects the homeowner with up to three top-rated, licensed, and insured HVAC contractors who serve the Fresno area and have passed the platform’s AI-driven pre-screening.

3. Compare and save. The homeowner reviews three competitive quotes side by side and chooses the best value. There is no obligation to hire anyone.

Because contractors know they are competing against two other quotes, they tend to sharpen their pricing — and that competition is what drives real savings for the homeowner. Comparing multiple bids can help homeowners avoid overpaying and make a more informed decision on one of the larger home expenses they’ll face.

Why It Matters

For years, the balance of information in home services has tilted toward contractors. A homeowner facing a broken air conditioner in the middle of a Fresno summer is often stressed, short on time, and unsure whether the price they’re quoted is fair. That urgency can lead to rushed decisions and overpaying.

3HVACQuotes is designed to shift that balance back toward the homeowner. By pre-vetting companies with AI, gathering three competitive quotes, and removing the need for multiple in-home visits, the platform gives Fresno residents the information and leverage they need to make a confident choice — on their own terms and their own timeline.

“Our goal is simple,” the spokesperson added. “We want every Fresno homeowner to feel like they got the right company at the right price, without the stress and without the wasted time. When you take the guesswork and the hassle out of the process, homeowners win.”

Availability

The 3HVACQuotes service is now live for Fresno, California homeowners, serving the greater Fresno area from 2055 E Shields Ave Suite 101, Fresno, CA 93726. Requesting quotes is free, carries no obligation, and takes about 60 seconds. Homeowners can get started at:

Stellar Global has successfully completed the independent 4-Pillar SMETA Audit, marking another milestone in its commitment to ethical manufacturing and globally benchmarked business practices. Covering Labour Standards, Health & Safety, Environment and Business Ethics, the audit reflects the company’s disciplined operational systems and well-governed manufacturing processes. For retailers, distributors and procurement teams, it provides additional confidence in partnering with a manufacturer that combines manufacturing scale with globally benchmarked operational standards.

Foshan, Guangdong, China, 28th Jul 2026 – As responsible sourcing continues to shape global procurement decisions, Stellar Global has received its SMETA audit, further demonstrating the robustness of its manufacturing governance across workplace responsibility, environmental management and operational systems. The achievement further strengthens the company’s position as a trusted manufacturing partner for retailers, distributors and institutional buyers worldwide.

Today’s procurement decisions extend beyond product quality to evaluating how products are manufactured. Businesses increasingly seek manufacturing partners that demonstrate structured management systems, workplace practices and audit readiness alongside product quality. The successful completion of the independent 4-Pillar SMETA audit provides an additional layer of third-party verification, validating the operational framework that supports Stellar Global’s global manufacturing network.

The 4-Pillar SMETA Audit is one of the world’s most widely recognised ethical audit frameworks, independently assessing manufacturing operations across Labour Standards, Health & Safety, Environment and Business Ethics. By evaluating operational systems and workplace practices through these four pillars, the audit provides procurement teams and supply chain partners an independently verified benchmark when evaluating manufacturing partners.

For retailers, wholesalers, project owners, procurement teams and distribution partners, working with a manufacturer that has successfully completed the independent 4-Pillar SMETA Audit demonstrates that manufacturing operations have been independently assessed against globally accepted ethical audit standards, supported by structured governance and disciplined processes. This enables organisations to strengthen responsible sourcing strategies while partnering with a manufacturer built to support global supply chain expectations.

Beyond manufacturing quality, Stellar Global continues to prioritise responsible operational practices across its facilities by maintaining structured management systems that support employee welfare, workplace safety, environmental responsibility and ethical business conduct. The achievement further reflects the company’s approach to building long-term relationships based on trust, consistency and operational transparency.

As global businesses place greater emphasis on responsible sourcing and sustainable procurement, audits such as SMETA continue to play an important role in supplier evaluation. Stellar Global views this as another milestone in strengthening its manufacturing practices while meeting the evolving expectations of international customers and business partners.

“Supplying customers across more than 105 countries demands far more than manufacturing capacity; it requires disciplined systems, operational accountability and consistent execution at every stage. Completing the independent 4-Pillar SMETA Audit reinforces the standards that have long guided our manufacturing operations and reflects our commitment to delivering at global scale with responsible and transparent practices,” said Mr. Arihant Nahar, CEO, Stellar Global.

The independent 4-Pillar SMETA Audit represents another milestone in Stellar Global’s ongoing focus on strengthening manufacturing systems, supporting long-term business relationships and adapting to the evolving expectations of global procurement.
