Visa joined the Canton Network as a "Super Validator." It is the first major global payments company to assume this role.
The move provides privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure to banks and financial institutions. This infrastructure addresses the conflict between blockchain transparency and industry privacy requirements.
Visa acts as one of 40 Super Validators on the network. The role enables clients to explore stablecoin payments and settlement.
Clients can utilize these use cases without overhauling existing risk and compliance frameworks. The initiative facilitates new on-chain payment flows for regulated financial institutions.
