Arqitech enables Canton cross-chain swaps

Arqitech has deployed Canton Token Standard V2 within its Atomic Swap Protocol, enabling institutions to exchange Canton Coin directly with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana and TRON assets through native multi-chain swaps.

The company said the live mainnet transactions were completed with institutional counterparties, allowing participants to swap assets without relying on intermediaries, bridges or wrapped tokens while maintaining control of their own assets.

Canton Token Standard V2, approved by the Canton Foundation in June 2026, introduces committed allocations and settlement time locks designed to support secure cross-chain transactions and institutional real-world asset settlement.

Through Arqitech’s Atomic Swap Protocol, participants sign their own transactions using enterprise key-management systems or private nodes, ensuring custody remains with the asset owners throughout the process.

Brian Wasserman, CEO of Arqitech, said the launch brings the company’s experience in digital asset infrastructure to the Canton Network, providing institutional-grade interoperability, liquidity and settlement rails.

Arqitech said the deployment expands connectivity between Canton and major digital asset networks, supporting institutional use cases including cross-chain settlement and tokenised real-world assets.
