Building on Canton: What to Know Before You Integrate
What will it take to bring more applications, wallets and users onto Canton?
For teams exploring Canton, the next questions are practical: where do we start, who do we need to connect with, and what does it take to make an integration work?
You’ll also see how to inspect the Daml packages behind an integration, with a free open-source tool you can run on your own code.
Join Jatin Pandya from Canton Foundation and Certora for a discussion on Canton adoption, the opportunities for builders, and the engineering decisions behind connected applications. We will explore what teams need from the ecosystem, where integration gets difficult, and how developers, wallet providers and security teams can work together to move forward.
What we will explore
From interest to adoption. Jatin brings the Foundation perspective on ecosystem development, the kinds of teams building on Canton, developer resources and the barriers teams need help overcoming.
From an idea to a working integration. What does supporting a new asset or application involve? Where do wallets, signing providers and application teams depend on each other, and what makes onboarding easier?
From connected applications to code you understand. Certora brings the Daml engineering and security perspective: package dependencies, cross-package interactions, upgrade checks and where Daml smart contract audits fit.
Wallet and application teams are encouraged to bring their own integration questions and experiences to the live discussion.
What you will take away
A clearer view of the opportunities and practical steps for building on Canton.
Questions to ask your engineering team and integration partners before connecting an application or supporting a new asset.
A practical introduction to inspecting the Daml packages behind an integration.

Build with the ecosystem
Building on Canton? Want to try the Canton Package Analyzer by Certora on a package your team works with? Apply for a free supported walkthrough with Certora engineers. Explore the output, ask questions and help shape the tool with your feedback.
Built by Certora with support from the Canton Foundation Development Fund, the open-source analyzer maps dependencies and cross-package interactions in compiled Daml packages. It supports technical understanding and review and does not replace a security audit.
