Mesh Joins Canton Network As Super Validator To Support Tokenised Capital Markets
Mesh, the crypto payments network, has joined the Canton Network as a Super Validator, a role that carries formal responsibility for supporting the network's security and stability.
The Canton Network is a public, permissionless blockchain built for institutional finance, enabling banks and financial institutions to move assets and payments while keeping sensitive data private. The network currently processes more than $8 trillion in tokenised assets per month, across bonds, repos, money market funds, loans, and insurance products.
Super Validators on Canton hold a governance and operational function, maintaining network stability and advancing its development. The designation reflects Canton's assessment of Mesh's infrastructure reliability and long-term commitment to the network.

Bam Azizi, Co-founder and CEO, Mesh commented:
“Tokenisation is reshaping global finance, but disconnected systems and regulatory complexity have slowed adoption. Canton brings together privacy, interoperability, and institutional-grade controls. By joining this ecosystem, Mesh is helping build the secure, compliant infrastructure that connects TradFi and crypto into a single, cohesive market.”

Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director and Head, Canton Foundation said:
“Mesh is at the forefront of building efficient, regulatory-compliant payment infrastructure for on-chain finance, and their role as a Super Validator will strengthen the network as it scales. With Mesh, we will continue to advance our mission to bridge TradFi and DeFi to create an 'AllFi' reality.”
The announcement follows Mesh's $75 million Series C funding round, which valued the company at $1 billion. Founded in 2020, Mesh is a crypto payments network connecting hundreds of exchanges, wallets, and financial services platforms to enable digital asset payments and conversions across more than 900 million reachable users worldwide.
The Canton Network is governed by the Canton Foundation with participation from leading global financial institutions. Its open-sourced network is powered by a native token, Canton Coin, which supports decentralised governance and collaborative application development.
