Franklin Templeton Becomes Canton Network's First Super Validator

Franklin Templeton has joined Canton Network as a Super Validator, expanding its role in tokenized financial products. The company's Benji Technology Platform added support for Canton Network in late 2025.

Canton Network is a privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain for financial institutions handling tokenized assets. As a Super Validator, Franklin Templeton will secure the network, validate transactions, and participate in governance.

This move comes amidst growing institutional adoption of the Canton Network. The ecosystem now includes over 1,200 validators and 45+ Super Validators, generating $57.29 million in network fees over the last 30 days.
