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.

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.
