Canton Network taps Chainlink as super validator, integrates oracles and CCIP

Chainlink has integrated its data services and crosschain protocol into the institutional blockchain Canton Network and joined as a super validator.

Chainlink has integrated with the Canton Network, an institutional blockchain backed by global banks and technology firms, in a move aimed at strengthening institutional adoption of blockchain technology.

The partnership, announced Wednesday, brings Chainlink’s data service, including its data streams, smartdata (proof of reserve and NAVLink) and the cross-chain interoperability protocol (CCIP) onto the Canton Network. The network has also joined the Chainlink Scale program, which helps cover oracle operating costs.

As part of the agreement, Chainlink Labs will become a Canton Network “super validator.” A super validator is a combined node that runs a domain validator and a Canton synchronizer node. It participates in the Global Synchronizer to order and finalize cross-domain transactions, providing consensus and interoperability across the network.
