what's temple?

Temple is a trading, asset registry, and issuance platform designed for institutional markets on the Canton Network. It leverages Canton's privacy-focused, open infrastructure to enable secure and compliant tokenization and trading of assets for large institutions. Key features include support for the CIP 56 token standard from launch, non-custodial wallet integration via partnerships like Loop, and tools for connectivity, programmability, and trust in blockchain-based capital markets. The platform emphasizes de-risking for builders through Canton's token emission model, where a portion of tokens is allocated based on application usage rather than solely to validators. Temple facilitates registrations for early access to Canton Coin and aims to power the next generation of tokenized assets with a focus on regulatory compliance and privacy. As a foundational layer on Canton, Temple supports the issuance and trading of digital assets while maintaining interoperability across networks, positioning it as a key enabler for institutional adoption of blockchain technology.

Temple launched on Canton, enabling Canton Coin/USDCx trading and Ethereum asset bridging.
