Austin, Texas, July 31st, 2025, Chainwire

  • Maestro was granted a validator spot on Canton Network alongside other leading institutions from the financial and digital asset sectors, such as Binance, BitGo, Bank of America, Galaxy Digital, Mastercard, Citadel, and Nasdaq.
  • Maestro will support the regulated financial institutions’ adoption of blockchain systems by strengthening Canton’s infrastructure.

Maestro, the leading enterprise-grade infrastructure provider powering the future of digital finance, has announced that it has become a validator on the Canton Network, the only Layer-1 blockchain that offers configurable privacy and institutional-grade compliance at scale. This collaboration unites two firms focused on enabling privacy, control, and interoperability for financial institutions.

Canton Network connects participants across financial markets, handling over $1 trillion in monthly transaction volumes. It recently completed a $135 million funding round led by DRW Venture Capital and Tradeweb Markets, with participation from major institutions including Goldman Sachs, Citadel Securities, and BNP Paribas. Nine of the world’s 10 largest global investment banks are now part of the Canton Network ecosystem.

Maestro is bringing its infrastructure expertise to Canton Network by supporting institutional-grade blockchain applications such as Bitwave, The Tie, Proof Group, BitSafe, HydraX, and IntellectEU — platforms that collectively process trillions of dollars in transactions annually. With a proven track record powering top Bitcoin applications and facilitating billions in transaction volume, Maestro is well-positioned to help support and scale these leading applications within the Canton ecosystem.

Canton’s validators include leading institutions from the financial and digital asset sectors. In July, a new set of validator slots was granted, including Binance, BitGo, Bank of America, Galaxy Digital, Mastercard, Citadel, and Nasdaq. Maestro will support the growing adoption of blockchain systems by regulated financial institutions by strengthening Canton’s infrastructure. “As the Canton Network continues to grow across various enterprise use cases and segments, infrastructure provided by Maestro and other validator partners will be instrumental in supporting the growing applications in the ecosystem.” said Melvis Langyintuo, Executive Director of the Global Synchronizer Foundation.

Maestro Co-Founder & CEO Marvin Bertin said, “We’re proud to join the Canton Network as a validator. This partnership reflects our commitment to helping institutions adopt blockchain technology and upgrade the traditional financial rails with secure, compliant infrastructure.”

Designed for regulated financial markets, Canton Network is used by leading banks, asset managers, and trading firms. These entities can access a range of financial products on Canton, including Bitcoin, which is attracting growing institutional interest.

Maestro has processed billions of API calls on its platform and provided enterprise-grade infrastructure to hundreds of companies. Its arrival in Canton will bring this expertise to help support the network, which forms a major hub for enterprises.
