​Institutional Privacy Stack: Canton vs Tempo vs Miden

​​Paper

​​Institutional adoption of crypto is driving a new class of privacy architectures—each built on fundamentally different trust assumptions. This session breaks down three emerging approaches: permissioned networks like Canton Network, TEE-based execution frameworks like Tempo, and zk-native systems like Miden.

​We’ll explore how each stack balances confidentiality, verifiability, compliance, and performance—and what it means for real-world institutional use cases.
