Why Canton

Privacy the ledger enforces, not the app

Privacy enforced by the ledger

Bid visibility is a property of the Daml contracts, not a promise from our app.

Atomic settlement

Reveal and payment are one transaction: no window where a winner is named but unpaid.

Party-level authorization

Every bid is authorized by the bidder's own Canton identity.

Today, bidder parties are hosted by Cognivern and settlement uses a demo deposit token on Canton DevNet. Bringing your own Canton identity is next.

How it works

From mandate to settled winner

  1. 1

    Fund a mandate

    Set the budget, allowed assets, and policy the procurement runs under.

  2. 2

    Agents open a round

    Closing is policy-gated: minimum bids, deadline elapsed, budget within limit.

  3. 3

    Bids stay sealed

    Canton's sub-transaction privacy means each bidder sees only their own bid. Losing bids are never disclosed.

  4. 4

    Settle and prove

    The winner is paid from escrow in the same transaction that reveals them. The spend lands on the mandate's statement, and anyone can check the outcome.
