SAN FRANCISCO, CALIFORNIA – May 4, 2026 – Kresus, a blockchain infrastructure provider and implementation partner for the Canton Network, announced a collaboration aimed at helping enterprises design, develop, and launch blockchain applications in production environments. The initiative focuses on supporting organizations throughout the full lifecycle, from initial integration through to large-scale deployment.
The effort targets a key barrier in institutional blockchain adoption: execution. While many financial institutions have tested blockchain through pilots and proofs of concept, fewer have moved these initiatives into live systems. The collaboration combines Canton’s blockchain infrastructure with Kresus’ implementation capabilities to support the transition from strategy to operational deployment. Both parties are already working together on multiple projects, with additional activity expected in the coming months.
Kresus is currently engaged with several global financial institutions to deploy blockchain-based applications on Canton. This includes a partnership with Hanwha Investment & Securities to develop a tokenized digital asset platform focused on private market assets. The platform is intended to support the issuance, management, and distribution of tokenized financial instruments aligned with real-world asset use cases.
As part of the collaboration, Kresus is introducing its product suite to the Canton ecosystem. This includes enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure, tokenization systems, and its middleware layer, KITE, designed to integrate with existing financial systems and support production-level use cases 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 organizations to operate on a shared blockchain infrastructure while maintaining configurable privacy and governance controls suited for regulated environments. The network continues to attract interest from institutions exploring tokenized assets and blockchain-based financial systems.
