JUST IN: The Zenith EVM Testnet is live and open to the public. For the first time, 31800+ Ethereum developers can deploy standard Solidity applications that compose atomically with @CantonNetwork - the institutional blockchain where DTCC, JPMorgan, Goldman Sachs, and Visa process $9T+ in monthly settlement volume. Point your existing tools at the Zenith RPC endpoint and deploy. Your contracts don't change, your tooling doesn't change, and every transaction is finalized through Canton's consensus with deterministic finality in seconds. The external_call() primitive enables atomic composability with Canton-native Daml workflows directly, and the Linked Transactions explorer shows you the full lifecycle of every transaction across both environments in one place. Zenith is already contributing to two of the most significant tokenization initiatives running on Canton: @The_DTCC 's DTC Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group bringing $114 trillion in U.S. securities on-chain, and @progmat_en's Tokenized JGB working group targeting Japan's $1.6 trillion JGB repo market alongside MUFG, Mizuho, and BlackRock Japan. This is the first public venue where Ethereum's programmability and Canton's institutional rails meet.

Most cross-environment blockchain architectures break composability at the seam between environments. Zenith was built to eliminate that seam entirely. At @blockworksDAS Asia 2026, @HeslinKim described what Zenith co-architected with @digitalasset’s CPO Bernard Elsner: the first non-EVM L1 with atomic EVM settlement, where block production and state finality are embedded directly into Canton’s consensus. The result: Daml-native Canton assets, with their full selective disclosure and privacy model intact, composable with the top DeFi protocols in the same atomic transaction. An EVM application doesn’t just connect to Canton, it settles inside it. The institutional asset layer and Ethereum’s developer ecosystem, finally on the same rails. The 3.6 upgrade brings external_call() to @CantonNetwork Mainnet. What Heslin describes here is what that actually means in practice. Zth.

Zenith has joined the Digital Assets Association (DAA), a Singapore-based non-profit advancing the integration of blockchain technology into traditional finance. Singapore is an important meeting point for financial institutions, digital asset infrastructure, and cross-border capital markets. DAA brings these worlds together, with a focus on institutional blockchain adoption, asset tokenization, and connecting traditional finance with on-chain markets. Zenith is joining a network of industry players including @coinbase, @BitGo, @GSR_io, @trmlabs, Murex, and many others. At Zenith, we're building Ethereum-compatible execution infrastructure for Canton Network. Zenith EVM lets developers build Solidity applications that interact atomically with Canton-native assets and workflows, and Zenith Stack enables institutions to deploy their own customizable EVM environments with greater control over how they operate. Looking forward to being part of the DAA community and contributing to what's being built across the region. Learn more: digitalassetsassociation.org Zth.

Getting a regulated asset on-chain is a solved problem for a growing number of teams. Getting it to move atomically through settlement workflows, serve as collateral, and interact with DeFi applications while keeping its compliance rules intact is the problem that’s still being worked out. That’s the infrastructure Zenith is building on @CantonNetwork, and the conversation we’re most excited to be part of here. Looking forward to the work ahead with the @ERC3643Org. Zth.

Most blockchain solutions that promise cross-environment settlement use the word atomic loosely. Two environments, two separate finality processes, reconciled after the fact. The gap between them is usually small, but in institutional finance, small gaps are where risk lives. Zenith built external_call() to make that gap disappear entirely. @NorbertVadas, Head of Product at Zenith, explains in details how it works in the clip below. The short version: a single transaction can now carry both a Canton leg and an EVM leg, with @CantonNetwork finalizing both together. If either side fails, nothing moves. Not one side waiting for the other, the entire transaction aborts as one decision. external_call() is already merged into Canton’s main branch and live on the Zenith EVM Testnet today. Explore it now: docs.zenith.network Zth.

Zenith has joined the ERC3643 Association, bringing our experience in interoperability standards and settlement design to the work on compliant tokenization. @ERC3643Org was originally created in 2018 as the T-REX (Token for Regulated EXchanges) protocol by Tokeny Solutions. ERC-3643 is an open-source token standard for the issuance, management and transfer of permissioned tokens. It enables issuers to enforce compliance requirements, including investor eligibility and transfer restrictions, even on public blockchains. The ERC3643 Association brings together TradFi institutions and blockchain technology providers to advance the adoption of this standard. Its founding members include: Apex Group, @ArchaxEx , @BitstampSupport, @Capgemini, @DLA_Piper, @InvescoUS, @0xPolygon Labs, @TokenySolutions, and others. This matters because tokenizing a regulated asset is only the beginning. Once issued, these assets need to participate in financial workflows involving settlement, collateral, lending, and trading, often across different applications and environments. That second step is what Zenith is built for. As the EVM and SVM extension for @CantonNetwork, Zenith allows Solidity applications to interact atomically with Canton-native assets and workflows. This opens a path for applications using Ethereum standards such as ERC-3643 to connect with Canton's institutional financial infrastructure while retaining their established Ethereum tooling. We look forward to working with the Association and its members as regulated tokens move into production. More about the ERC3643 Association and its members: erc3643.org/members Zth.

Today, tokenized Treasuries are used as collateral in on-chain lending markets, and tokenized money market funds are accepted as margin on trading venues. These workflows already exist across different chains, but what the industry has been missing is a way to run them directly against the regulated assets and settlement infrastructure on @CantonNetwork. DeFi has already demonstrated what's possible with lending, automated liquidity, derivatives, and exchanges. TradFi brings institutional capital, regulated assets, and established market infrastructure, alongside requirements for privacy, permissions, and settlement. Zenith brings these capabilities together by introducing Ethereum-compatible execution to Canton. > With Zenith EVM, developers can deploy Solidity applications using familiar Ethereum tooling and build workflows that interact atomically with Canton-native assets. > Through Zenith Stack, institutions can explore customized execution environments designed around their operational and participation requirements. The opportunity is to bring established DeFi application models closer to institutional assets on Canton, enabling workflows such as collateralized lending, programmable liquidity, and atomic settlement between securities and payments. Our public EVM Testnet is live. Explore what you can build: docs.zenith.network/ Zth.

Canton has spent a decade becoming the infrastructure global finance actually chooses. What it has needed is a native entry point for the developer ecosystem that built most of on-chain finance over the same period. @ShaulKfir, Co-founder and Head of Strategic Initiatives at @digitalasset, on what the Zenith EVM Testnet means for @CantonNetwork: "This is another key step toward enabling Solidity developers to deploy applications that leverage Canton's interoperable, institutional-grade infrastructure. Combined with broader growth across the network, this will help accelerate Canton's utility flywheel." Canton's own Polyglot Whitepaper identified this gap, Zenith built the answer. The Testnet is already live, get started: docs.zenith.network Zth.

Privacy in institutional blockchain is a spectrum, and the right point on that spectrum depends entirely on what you are building and who you are building it for. At @blockworksDAS Asia, Zenith Co-Founder and CBO @HeslinKim joined the Balancing Privacy vs Transparency in Onchain Finance panel to discuss how different institutional requirements shape blockchain infrastructure. Zenith Stack is designed to support multiple deployment environments, each with its own approach to access and information disclosure. Public permissionless environments can support open participation. Permissioned environments can enforce KYC, KYB and AML requirements before granting access. Private deployments can keep an institution's internal activity confidential, while multi-party and consortium environments can enable selective disclosure of transaction details, counterparties and order flow. This flexibility is particularly important for financial institutions, where privacy requirements differ across assets, participants and business workflows. @CantonNetwork's Daml architecture provides the foundation for granular privacy and selective disclosure, while Zenith extends the ecosystem with Ethereum-compatible execution and configurable deployment environments. The goal is to give institutions control over how they participate onchain, without forcing every use case into the same privacy model. Zth.

September brought important milestones for Zenith as @CantonNetwork prepares for the next phase of institutional tokenization. We joined DTC’s Digital Assets Solutions Industry Working Group alongside 100+ firms, including BlackRock, J.P. Morgan, Goldman Sachs, Citi and Nasdaq, contributing our perspective on Ethereum-compatible execution and interoperability as @The_DTCC prepares to bring tokenized securities into production. Later that month, we opened the Zenith EVM Testnet to the public, with Kaiko deploying its institutional-grade oracle just two days later. The connection between these developments is important. Institutional assets are becoming available on Canton, while Zenith is building the execution environment that allows Solidity applications to interact atomically with Canton-native assets and workflows. Good to see @Cashen_cc covering both milestones in its September recap. More on our participation in the DTC Working Group: zenith.network/resources/blo… Zth.

ICYMI: The Zenith EVM Testnet is live and open to the public. What makes Zenith different from every other EVM environment is what happens underneath. Every transaction routes through Canton’s consensus directly, meaning a single transaction can carry both a Canton-native leg and an EVM leg, with both committing simultaneously or neither committing at all. No exposure window, no bridge. Atomic composability with Canton-native assets and workflows built into the protocol. For the first time, DeFi primitives and institutional finance run on the same rails. A lending protocol deployed on Zenith composes atomically with tokenized Treasuries on @CantonNetwork. A collateral management system built in Solidity settles natively alongside the workflows DTCC is bringing to production this month. If you are an Ethereum developer and haven’t deployed yet, the institutional layer is being built around you. Now is the time to start: docs.zenith.network Zth.

This is what the start of @token2049 week looked like 🇸🇬 The Opening Bell brought together institutions and builders who are actually shipping. Conversations about where institutional digital assets are actually heading, and a growing sense that the infrastructure questions are being answered one by one. DTCC's Tokenization Service goes live this month. external_call() comes to Canton Mainnet with the 3.6 upgrade, Zenith Mainnet follows. Zenith EVM Testnet is live today, the first public venue where Ethereum developers can build on @CantonNetwork's institutional rails. Start here: docs.zenith.network Zth.

Most privacy solutions in blockchain have one thing in common: they throw composability out. Almost everything built around privacy considers it an afterthought, and that's precisely the design flaw Zenith was built to avoid. @HeslinKim made that case on the Privacy vs. Transparency panel at DAS Asia 2026 yesterday alongside @wesarn_real from Digital Asset, @keoneHD from Monad, @LowBeta from Grayscale, moderated by @robbiek__ The panel covered the full landscape of privacy approaches, but the Zenith-specific moments are especially the ones worth going back to. > (8:39) Threading the needle between Ethereum and Canton: connecting DeFi's mature ecosystem to Canton's institutional infrastructure natively > (23:02) What Zenith actually built: the first non-EVM L1 with atomic EVM settlement, co-architected with Digital Asset's CPO Bernard Elsner > (24:27) Deployment to Canton's Global Synchronizer: deterministic EVM state settlement in Solidity, targeting November > (29:39) Zenith as a stack: public permissionless, private permission isolated, and private multi-party, customers choose their privacy tier > (31:39) The shielded/unshielded workflow: move assets from open DeFi into Canton's selective disclosure layer for institutional compliance, then back out Check the full panel below. Zth.

Tomorrow at @rwasummitglobal in Singapore, @HeslinKim joins @galaxyhq, @Optimism, and @base on the Cross-Border Infrastructure panel, discussing what actually differentiates the winners in cross-border RWA rails from everyone else. The competitive dynamics question is one Zenith approaches from a specific vantage point. The institutional settlement layer already exists: $9T+ monthly on @CantonNetwork, with @The_DTCC tokenizing U.S. Treasuries on it this month. What Zenith adds is the EVM execution environment that connects Ethereum's developer ecosystem to that infrastructure natively, without rewrites or bridges. That's a different category from the L2 conversation happening elsewhere in the market. Marina One, October 9. Register: luma.com/rwasummit Zth.

Deploying Solidity on @CantonNetwork is the visible part of Zenith. Running the infrastructure underneath it is another story. Zenith is building an Ethereum-compatible execution environment where Solidity applications can compose atomically with Canton-native assets and workflows. For developers, the experience is intentionally familiar: standard EVM tooling, contracts and interfaces. Behind that execution environment, Zenith also participates directly in Canton as a Tier-1 Super Validator. Our Canton validator node runs on @catalyx_suite Blockchain Manager, while @IntellectEU hosts and operates our Super Validator weight, supporting monitoring, upgrades, key management and 24/7 operations. As Zenith moves from public Testnet toward Mainnet, both sides of that stack matter: a familiar environment for builders, backed by infrastructure designed for the operational requirements of institutional markets. Worth reading if you want to understand what running institutional-grade Canton infrastructure actually looks like: catalyx.solutions/use-cases/… Zth.

Bringing together the people building the next generation of institutional digital asset infrastructure, from tokenization to settlement. Proud to open the week alongside @trex_network and @KaikoData. Zth.

The Opening Bell breakfast kicked off @token2049 week the right way. The room this morning was full of institutions looking at @CantonNetwork and Zenith is the entry point they've been waiting for. The EVM Testnet is live, start here: docs.zenith.network Zth.

gm, Singapore! 🇸🇬 The Opening Bell is ringing. Zenith, @trex_network, and @KaikoData are opening @token2049 week at Hopscotch Gardens by the Bay. A morning of conversations, connections, and a look at what's next for institutional digital assets. Let's begin. Zth.
