How To Issue Real-world Assets on Canton Network

How To Issue Real-world Assets on Canton Network

[Narrator]

Hello everyone, welcome back to the TokenMinds Training series.
Today we’ll walk through how to issue real-world assets on Canton Network using programmable privacy, atomic settlement, and institutional-grade liquidity coordination.

This session focuses on institutional implementation.
We’ll cover how to issue RWAs on Canton with guaranteed full completion across multiple networks, and how liquidity can move across independent institutions without forcing them into one shared global system.

Canton enables unified settlement across connected institutions instead of fragmented execution.
Automated validation reduces delays and frees up capital faster.
Atomic multi-party execution ensures transactions complete for everyone at the same time or not at all.
And the network is built to handle institutional transaction volumes reliably and securely.

DTCC is the core clearing and settlement infrastructure for U.S. markets, connecting banks, broker-dealers, and custodians.
They selected Canton because institutions can complete transactions together without merging into one shared blockchain.
Each institution keeps its own system.
Transactions finalize across systems simultaneously.
There is no global shared ledger.
And collateral mobility improves without forcing infrastructure replacement.

The first step is creating a legally valid digital twin of the asset.
Using Daml smart contracts, asset terms such as CUSIP, face value, maturity, and coupon are encoded directly into contract templates.
Only approved custodians are authorized to mint tokens.
Coupon payments and maturity events are handled automatically by contract logic.
Ownership transitions are deterministic, meaning rules are predefined and enforceable.
The result is privacy without isolation, institutions keep their data private while remaining interoperable.

Each institution runs its own Canton node, maintaining data sovereignty.
Participants only see transactions relevant to them, ensuring segmented visibility.
Transactions are atomic, meaning all parties commit simultaneously or the transaction fails entirely.
Canton is connected to legacy systems such as Fedwire or existing DTCC infrastructure, so on-chain and off-chain settlement complete together.
This allows coordinated execution without forcing system consolidation.

DTCC structured each collateral transfer as a coordinated transaction that only finalizes after all institutions approve and confirm.
If any step fails, the transaction cancels automatically.
Margin-triggered collateral movements execute across connected systems without requiring a shared global ledger.
Institutions retain control of their infrastructure while transacting seamlessly.
Liquidity becomes responsive, scalable, observable, and reversible in real time.

RWA issuance operates as a programmable execution stack layered onto existing institutional systems.
Daml smart contracts define asset lifecycle logic.
Participant nodes maintain privacy and share contracts only with entitled parties.
A privacy and domain layer controls visibility and atomic commit.
Atomic transaction composition ensures simultaneous finality across parties.
An enterprise integration layer synchronizes confirmed ledger state with custody and core systems through APIs.

The real challenge in RWA issuance is translating complex operational requirements into deterministic smart contract logic.
TokenMinds supports institutions by engineering asset models through Daml contracts, designing Canton architecture including node and privacy domain configuration, and managing production rollout with legacy integration and phased deployment.
The goal is privacy-first infrastructure that enables real-time asset mobility and institutional liquidity efficiency without disrupting stable production systems.
