Yesterday we released a new version of our Lightspeed matching engine to the public, a significant infrastructure update for Temple and the Canton Network. With Lightspeed 2.0, our platform can now process over 85 million orders per day, settle 29x more trades per second, and match orders in 3.6ms. Temple will use the new capacity and bandwidth to onboard more assets, liquidity, and trading accounts in Q4. To try our new trading experience, please visit our website: templedigitalgroup.com

The @CantonFdn is key to overseeing and maintaining the @CantonNetwork itself. However, the foundation itself is not one single beast... Within the Foundation, exist several committees, made up of high calibre members, and with responsibilities over various areas of ecosystem operations. They span everything from technological development, through to marketing and legal matters, but here are some of the most important... Tokenomics Committee: The Tokenomics Committee oversees one of the most crucial aspects of The Canton Network ecosystem - The economics and tokenomics of $CC. It effectively governs the economic parameters of Canton Coin. This means calibrating fee structures, determining traffic parameters, and even reviewing applications from potential Featured Apps. Tech & Ops Committee: The Tech & Ops Committee oversees all the network's technological development, from directing architectural upgrades, through to tech-focused CIPs. It also evaluates and distributes builder grants and proposals from the Canton Development Fund. Accountability Committee: As the name suggests, this committee is there to ensure accountability among ecosystem participants like Super Validators and Featured Apps. It ensures milestones are hit, while even suggesting remediation action for underperformance. This is really just a taste. As the Canton ecosystem grows and matures, so too does the Canton Foundation's committee system. There are even various subcommittees, such as the Collateral Subcommittee, recently joined by @Cashen_cc and whose purpose is to design and govern the protocols that allow financial institutions to undertake tokenised collateral across the Canton Network.

You have seen traditional security audits. Now watch an AI Auditor face the same objective. On September 29, Hacken and @NODERS_TEAM are running our AI Auditor on a real Daml smart contract The session is part of HackCanton Season 3 by @appsfactory_cc — 450 builders from 48 countries currently building on @CantonNetwork. For founders and engineers on Canton, this live workshop is a chance to inspect the workflow and see how the system surfaces Daml-specific risks: what it flags, what evidence supports each finding, and what your team can actually fix. Leave with a clearer view of what your current process covers, where AI-assisted review can add value, and whether your Daml codebase should be audited next.

The first order book-based derivatives exchange on @CantonNetwork is now live on mainnet. @Ekidenfi brings order book execution, private trading workflows, and on-chain settlement into one venue built for market makers, funds, and institutional trading desks.
