Chainlink has integrated its data services and CCIP into the Canton Network and joined as a super validator, enabling institutional-grade oracle feeds, cross-chain interoperability, and joint governance to support large-scale tokenization and real-world asset workflows.
-
Chainlink integrated data streams, smartdata (proof-of-reserve, NAVLink) and CCIP on Canton Network.
-
Chainlink Labs will operate as a Canton super validator to finalize cross-domain transactions and provide consensus.
-
The Canton Network now supports over $6 trillion of on-chain real-world assets and processes $280 billion in repurchase agreements daily.

Chainlink integrated its oracle data services and CCIP into the Canton Network and joined as a super validator to accelerate institutional tokenization and cross-domain settlement.
What is the Chainlink Canton Network integration?
Chainlink Canton Network integration connects Chainlink’s oracle data streams, smartdata tools (proof-of-reserve and NAVLink) and the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) to the institutional Canton Network. The move adds oracle-grade data, cross-domain messaging, and a Chainlink-run super validator to the Canton governance and consensus stack.
How does Chainlink act as a Canton Network super validator?
As a super validator, Chainlink Labs will run a combined domain validator and Canton synchronizer node. It will participate in the Global Synchronizer to order and finalize cross-domain transactions, providing consensus for interoperability across institutional domains.
Chainlink’s participation also includes joining the Chainlink Scale program to help underwrite oracle operating costs on the network.
Why does this matter for institutional tokenization?
The integration improves data integrity and cross-chain settlement for institutions seeking tokenized assets on-chain. Canton is designed for regulated financial workflows; adding Chainlink’s data services and CCIP reduces friction for asset tokenization and onchain settlement.
Digital Asset’s CEO Yuval Rooz said the collaboration broadens opportunities across traditional and decentralized finance. Chainlink co-founder Sergey Nazarov forecasted the work will enable large-scale real-world use cases combining traditional capital markets and decentralized infrastructure.
When did Canton reach this scale and who backs it?
Launched in May 2023, the Canton Network drew backing from major financial and technology organizations, including Microsoft, Goldman Sachs, BNP Paribas, Cboe Global Markets, Digital Asset and Paxos. The network reports support for more than $6 trillion in on-chain real-world assets and daily repurchase agreement processing of $280 billion.
| Metric | Reported value |
|---|---|
| On-chain real-world assets | $6+ trillion |
| Daily repurchase agreement volume | $280 billion |
| Validators / Super validators | ~500 validators; 30+ super validators |
How will Chainlink data services be used on Canton?
Chainlink’s data streams provide continuous, authenticated market and reference data. Smartdata features like proof-of-reserve and NAVLink offer transparent onchain asset backing and fund NAV reporting. CCIP delivers cross-domain messaging necessary for multi-ledger settlement and asset transfers.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Chainlink’s CCIP enable cross-domain token transfers on Canton?
Yes. CCIP enables secure, authenticated cross-domain messages and token transfers, allowing Canton domains to interoperate with assets and services anchored by Chainlink oracles and cross-chain routing.
Does Chainlink operate validators on Canton?
Chainlink Labs will operate a combined domain validator and Canton synchronizer node as a designated super validator, participating in ordering and finalization across domains.
Key Takeaways
- Oracle and interoperability integration: Chainlink adds data streams, smartdata and CCIP to Canton.
- Institutional scale: Canton reports $6T+ in on-chain RWAs and $280B daily repo flows.
- Governance and operations: Chainlink Labs becomes a super validator, enhancing consensus and cross-domain finality.
Conclusion
The Chainlink Canton Network integration strengthens institutional tokenization by combining oracle-grade data, proof-of-reserve and cross-chain settlement within a governance framework backed by major financial and technology institutions. Expect accelerated adoption of tokenized funds and large-scale onchain financial workflows as both ecosystems operationalize this collaboration. For ongoing coverage, COINOTAG will monitor updates and deployments.
