The Global Synchronizer Foundation Is Now the Canton Foundation

We’ve changed our name – from the Global Synchronizer Foundation (GSF) to the Canton Foundation – to bring more clarity to our role in the Canton Network.

Our mission remains the same: to support the development and governance of the Global Synchronizer, the core infrastructure that enables atomic, privacy-preserving transactions across blockchains in the Canton Network.

All existing members and Super Validators continue to be active participants. This is a change in name only, designed to better reflect our purpose and help the community connect the Foundation’s work more directly with the Canton Network.

The Canton Foundation fosters the growth of the Global Synchronizer and facilitates its governance. It ensures transparency and member participation in decisions made by the Synchronizer’s operators, helping maintain a reliable and trusted network
