Franklin Templeton Becomes Super Validator on Canton Network
Franklin Templeton has become a Super Validator on the Canton Network. The company joins an infrastructure group that includes major organizations such as Visa, Chainlink, DTCC, Nasdaq, and Blockdaemon.
The move comes after Franklin Templeton expanded its Benji Technology Platform to the Canton Network in late 2025. As a Super Validator, Franklin Templeton will help secure the network, validate transactions, and participate in governance.
Canton Network is a privacy-focused Layer-1 blockchain built for financial institutions handling tokenized assets. The company's new role means deeper institutional participation in the network.
