Zenith @ZenithFdn

🚨 Zenith Selected for $1.6 Trillion Japanese Government Bond Tokenization Consortium | Onchain Repo Market Launch 🚨 @ZenithFdn has been chosen to join a major banking consortium tokenizing $1.6 trillion in Japanese government bonds and building a new onchain repo market. The project represents one of the biggest real-world asset (RWA) tokenization efforts ever, bringing traditional sovereign debt onto the blockchain and creating new opportunities for institutional DeFi. Launched under the Digital Asset Co-Creation Consortium (DCC), the Working Group unites BlackRock, MUFG, Mizuho, Sumitomo Corporation, State Street, SBI Securities, Japan Exchange Group’s Market Innovation & Research, and other major players. The curated selection process by the DCC and Zenith’s subsequent invitation reinforce Zenith’s fundamental position as the core scaling primitive for Canton Network’s global composability, encompassing all on-chain environments, protocols, and assets, while bridging traditional finance and blockchain for measurable efficiency gains at institutional scale. globenewswire.com/news-release/2… Zth.

@AlpendHQ Thanks! Proud to be working with @progmat_en and Japan’s major banks on this 🫡

JUST IN: Zenith has been invited to join Progmat's Tokenized JGB and On-chain Repo Working Group, a consortium bringing together MUFG, Mizuho, Sumitomo Mitsui, BlackRock Japan, State Street, SBI Securities, Japan Exchange Group, and other major players, conducting a joint study on bringing Japan's $1.6 trillion JGB (Japanese Government Bond) repo market on-chain. Japan's JGB repo market is one of the largest in the world, processing ¥250-270 trillion annually and representing roughly 10% of the global government bond-backed repo market. Today it settles a business day after a trade is executed, operates within traditional market hours, and requires manual processes at every step. The working group is targeting same-day settlement, 24/7 availability, and cross-border access, enabling fully on-chain repo transactions using tokenized JGB collateral paired with stablecoin cash legs via lending protocols. A comprehensive report is expected in October 2026, with issuance pilots targeted for later this year. Read the full announcement: zenith.network/resources/blog… Zth.

@CantonNetwork 🤝

@HeslinKim Big step forward 🔥

@36Crypto2 Excited to be part of this initiative with Japan’s leading institutions 👏

@0xPRIMORDiAL_ @CantonNetwork Getting invited into this consortium with the biggest names in Japanese finance is a real testament to what we’re building 🚀

@denniscomsay Being part of bringing same-day settlement and 24/7 access to Japan’s massive JGB repo market is exactly the kind of real-world impact we set out to create 🫡

@Henrixbor 🚀

@vectordrift The momentum behind on-chain repo is real, around $350 billion already in execution globally today. Japan's $1.6 trillion JGB market is the next frontier and Zenith is contributing to making it happen 🫡

@NorbertVadas gZenith! This doesn't happen without the team, proud of every person who made it possible 👏

@Megalodon9491 Probably something... 👀

@SuontamaJulia @progmat_en The journey from a 14-person startup committing to Canton before the institutional momentum was visible, to being invited into Japan's megabank consortium. This is what building for the long term actually looks like 👏

@CantonNetwork @GArentoft @bohdaoo Every major EVM team now has a realistic path to institutional capital without rebuilding or adding bridge risk, that changes the entire game for both sides Zth.

@CantonNetwork This is the beauty of the stack! 👏

@0xPRIMORDiAL_ The work starts now 💪

@RiderLDA 🫡

@callme_punkrock 💪💪💪

One RPC endpoint change is all it takes for an Ethereum developer to reach @CantonNetwork via Zenith, with existing Solidity code and no bridge infrastructure required. The developer experience is 100% familiar. What changes is the institutional ecosystem that every application deployed on Zenith becomes atomically composable with: JPMorgan, DTCC, Goldman Sachs, Broadridge, and Visa operating on the same base layer processing $​9T+ monthly. A lending protocol or yield vault deployed on Zenith gains direct access to institutional capital flows that have never been accessible to the Solidity ecosystem before. Zenith Head of Ecosystem @GArentoft goes deeper on the architecture in the latest Canton Insiders episode by @IntellectEU & @catalyx_suite youtu.be/BQozkRlPnoI?si… Zth.

Zenith committed to @CantonNetwork in Q1 2025, before most of the institutional momentum was visible, before the major partnership announcements, and before Canton became one of the most recognized networks in regulated finance. That early commitment translated into something concrete: Tier-1 Super Validator status with maximum network weight, earned through Canton's CIP process based on demonstrated contribution. And with it, active seats across four @CantonFdn committees - Tokenomics, Marketing, Tech and Operations, Accountability - where Zenith's team shows up week after week to participate in the decisions that shape how Canton evolves. For the 31,800+ Ethereum developers who will build on Canton through Zenith, that governance presence matters directly. The $CC reward structures, the protocol standards, and the development fund priorities are outcomes Zenith's team influences from inside the process, on behalf of the builders who will deploy on what gets built.
