“Transparency gave markets their rails. Privacy gives them their legitimacy.”

The Canton Network Track at Proof of Talk brings together the operators, allocators, and builders actually laying the rails for institutional on-chain finance.

Where capital meets infrastructure. Where tokenised markets move from thesis to settlement — and the Canton ecosystem sits at the table that decides how.

The day before.
Where deals close off-agenda.

  • June 1, 2026 — the day before the conference
  • ~70 guests — investors, founders, and allocators
  • Golf, private dinners, and off-record conversations
