Kresus and Canton Network partner to advance institutional Blockchain adoption

SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – May 4, 2026 – Kresus, a blockchain infrastructure company and implementation partner for the Canton Network, today announced a collaboration to help enterprises and organizations across industries design, build, and deploy blockchain applications in production, guiding them through every stage of the journey, from first integration to full-scale launch.

The collaboration is designed to address one of the most persistent challenges in institutional blockchain adoption: execution.

While many financial institutions have explored blockchain through pilots and proofs of concept, fewer have successfully transitioned to live, production-grade systems.

By combining Canton’s institutional-grade blockchain infrastructure with Kresus’ delivery capabilities, the collaboration provides a clearer path from strategy to deployment.

Canton and Kresus are already collaborating on several projects, with additional developments expected in the coming months.

Kresus is currently working with leading global financial institutions to bring next-generation blockchain applications into production on Canton, including its partnership with Hanwha Investment & Securities to support the development of a tokenized digital asset platform focused on private market assets.

The platform is expected to enable the issuance, management, and distribution of tokenized financial instruments aligned with real-world asset (RWA) use cases.

Kresus is bringing its core product stack to the Canton ecosystem, including enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure, tokenization systems, and its secure middleware layer, KITE, all designed to integrate seamlessly into existing financial environments and support production deployments across payments, tokenized assets, and digital asset management. 

"Financial institutions are moving beyond trials and toward actual blockchain applications," said Trevor Traina, founder and CEO of Kresus. "Success in regulated markets requires more than technology; it requires the ability to design, build, and deliver systems that meet real-world requirements. Kresus works directly with clients to bring these applications into production on Canton."

"Institutions need secure, reliable, and scalable systems to advance digital asset adoption," said Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset and co-founder of Canton. "Through this collaboration, we are combining Canton's institutional-grade blockchain with Kresus' ability to implement production-ready applications that meet the needs of financial institutions."

Canton enables participants to operate on a shared blockchain while maintaining configurable privacy and governance controls required for regulated financial markets.

The network continues to gain interest among global institutions exploring tokenized assets and blockchain-based financial systems.
