Zenith

I recently sat down with @GArentoft, Head of Ecosystem at @ZenithFdn, to discuss the work they’re doing to introduce EVM compatibility into the Canton Network. We covered how Argentina’s inflation led him into crypto, what Circle’s Arc means for purpose-built blockchains, and his spiciest take: a wave of major blockchains is about to go under.

Bringing Ethereum apps to Canton. @HeslinKim, co-founder of @ZenithFdn, on the gap between institutional networks and DeFi — and what it takes to connect them. With @notkinsa. Co-sponsored by @krakenfx and @trycodex.

Zenith is pleased to support the Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol (IBC) contribution to @lfdecentralized, the home of open-source blockchain tech used by the world’s largest banks and financial institutions. Since 2021, IBC has facilitated $50B+ in transaction volume across 200+ networks, enabling secure asset and data transfers between independent ledgers. Today, we welcome this step by @Cosmos and 22 other organizations to create a more connected financial ecosystem. Find out more: prnewswire.com/news-releases… Zth.

Cosmos and @interchain_io are contributing IBC to @lfdecentralized to transform it into a leading open standard for digital ledger interoperability. The contribution is supported by @googlecloud and individuals from @WellsFargo, @FigureMarkets, @datachain_en, @injective, @CronosNetwork, @OpenZeppelin, @cardano_cf, @ZenithFdn, @EspressoSys, and 10 other industry-leading companies.

One transaction. Two apps. One outcome. On Canton, the cash leg and the asset leg settle together or not at all. No half-finished trades, no bridge in the middle. That's what the Global Synchronizer does. @CantonNetwork @ZenithFdn

One transaction, two apps, one outcome. On Canton, one transaction can move cash in one app and an asset in another. Either every action in it commits, or the whole transaction is rejected. (1/6)

Yesterday at @AIBC_World, our CEO Steven Gaertner (@stevengae_06) took the AIBC Stage to tackle one of the biggest questions in RWA: Tokenized Everything, Traded by Nobody: The Liquidity Problem RWA Keeps Avoiding Alongside @MIDAODS, @ZenithFdn and @prypcocom, the panel dug into what’s really trading, what’s simply parked, and what it takes to build real liquidity around real assets. Our view is simple. Tokenizing an asset is the easy part. Building a real market around it is where the work begins. That’s why we started with copper, an asset the world already needs. Thanks to @AIBC_World for hosting and to our fellow panelists for a sharp conversation. Missed it? Come find us at Booth H7-7184, Hall 7 🇮🇹

.@Uber completed a first-ever pilot of an onchain liquidity and settlement solution on Canton, a public network. Working with @HSBC, @FranklnTempletn, @Tradeweb and @FireblocksHQ, Uber liquidated part of its holdings, even on a weekend, while earning yield until disbursement.

Thanks to everyone who has been building on and testing Zenith EVM Testnet. The Zenith EVM Testnet will be reset on Monday, 2 Nov 2026, between approximately 2pm and 5pm CET (13:00 to 16:00 UTC), to ship a protocol upgrade, performance improvements and network hardening. What the reset means for you: • All testnet state will be wiped: balances, deployed contracts and transaction history. • Re-fund your wallet from the faucet once the network is back. • Redeploy your contracts after the reset. What’s changing: • Faucet bot protection: The faucet is now protected by a captcha, so bots and spammers can’t block real users from getting tokens. • Stricter faucet rate limits: Claims are now more tightly rate-limited, so funds are spread fairly among builders and testers. • Per-block transaction cap removed: The previous limit on transactions per block is increasing too. • Fixes and hardening: This upgrade includes fixes for issues discovered on the current testnet, plus general stability improvements. A note on testnet ZTH: All existing testnet ZTH balances, including any previously farmed ZTH, will be gone after the reset. Testnet ZTH has no value, and farming it provides no benefit. The faucet exists so developers can test, and the new protective measures are there to keep it that way. Network details: We expect RPC endpoints and other network settings to stay the same. If anything changes, we’ll update our docs accordingly. Expect some downtime during the upgrade. We’ll post here as soon as the network is live again. For more info about our testnet, please visit our docs: docs.zenith.network Zth.

Weekends. Public holidays. Overnight closures. What if your bond collateral could keep working? Heslin Kim (@HeslinKim), co-founder and CBO of Zenith (@ZenithFdn), walks through the possibilities: use tokenized bonds as collateral, borrow stablecoins, and put those funds to work in tokenized money market funds.

A bond’s on chain journey goes beyond issuance. @ZenithFdn details a local pilot connecting Canton assets with EVM payments and lending from purchase to borrowing, repayment or liquidation. The workflow was tested on a fully local stack. cantonnews.org/zenith-detail…
