What Canton Network is
Canton Network (CC) is a proof-of-stake Layer-1 blockchain, currently ranked 30th by market capitalization among the assets we track. Canton Network is its own settlement layer. 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.
Canton Network (CC) is a decentralized network designed to facilitate seamless inter-blockchain communication, enabling diverse blockchain ecosystems to interact and share data securely. Its architecture aims to enhance scalability and interoperability across various digital assets and platforms.
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.
Background & fundamentals
In sector terms it is most often filed under Recently Added, Smart Contracts, and Privacy & Security.
Where Canton Network sits in the market
At $0.1250, Canton Network carries a market capitalization of $4.36B. Around $5.45M changes hands across exchanges in a typical 24-hour window. That is a turnover of about 0.12% of the float — on the quieter side, which can mean thinner liquidity for large orders.
Canton Network carries no fixed maximum supply; issuance follows a programmatic schedule rather than a hard cap. The token is roughly -36% under its record of $0.1946 — a meaningful but not catastrophic drawdown. Measured from its all-time low of $0.0534, CC is up +134%.
What the price history shows
Across timeframes, CC shows 24-hour -1.63%, 7-day -3.68%, 30-day +4.26%. Across roughly the last 203 days of daily candles, CC endured a peak-to-trough drawdown of about 53% before stabilizing.
Volatility profile
Recent action puts Canton Network in the Moderate-volatility band — it shows the kind of price movement common in mid-cap crypto assets — meaningful but not unusual. Over the last 30 days the move totals +4.26%, a useful input for stop placement and position sizing.
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.
