What Canton Network is

Smart contracts run on top of it, fees are paid in CC, and the security model rests on validators bonding the token rather than burning energy to mine it.

How consensus and the token economy connect
Staking ties the token's value to network security: more CC bonded means a costlier attack, and stakers are paid for taking that role. Unstaking queues and slashing parameters shape how liquid that capital really is.

How to evaluate Canton Network
A grounded read on CC comes down to three questions:
- Real usage — active addresses, fees paid, and total value locked — does on-chain demand justify the valuation?
- Staking economics — the share of CC staked, the yield, and unlock/queue dynamics that govern liquid supply.
- Ecosystem depth — how many applications and how much liquidity have chosen Canton Network over competing Layer-1s.
