Bitcoin is an innovative payment network and a new kind of money. Bitcoin uses peer-to-peer technology to operate with no central authority or banks; managing transactions and the issuing of bitcoins is carried out collectively by the network. Bitcoin is open-source; its design is public, nobody owns or controls Bitcoin and everyone can take part. Through many of its unique properties, Bitcoin allows exciting uses that could not be covered by any previous payment system. Bitcoin transactions are secured by mathematics and energy. Cryptographic signatures prevent other people from spending your money. Energy spent by proof of work (PoW) prevents other people from undoing, rearranging or losing your transactions. So long as you take the required steps to protect your wallet, Bitcoin can give you control over your money and a strong level of protection against many types of fraud.

The Canton Network is a public, permissionless blockchain network designed specifically for regulated financial markets, enabling institutions to transact and synchronize data with privacy, control, and interoperability. It introduces a unique architecture that allows applications to run on separate, configurable domains while remaining interoperable at the network level, so participants can share data and assets only with authorized parties. Built to support real-world financial workflows, the network enables atomic, cross-application transactions without exposing sensitive information to the entire network. Canton supports privacy-preserving smart contracts, fine-grained permissioning, and composable applications that can span multiple use cases such as payments, securities, collateral, and derivatives. Its design allows institutions to maintain regulatory compliance, operational autonomy, and data confidentiality while benefiting from shared infrastructure and real-time settlement.
