This new tool provides unprecedented transparency into the network's transactions, participants, and overall activity- marking a milestone for the ecosystem and a significant step toward broader accessibility and engagement.
The Canton Block Explorer enables developers, participants, and the broader blockchain community to view previously unavailable, real-time information about the network. For the first time, users can explore Canton Coin balances, validator connections, token transfers, governance proposals, and more- all through a user-friendly, open-access interface.
'This is the first time anyone can publicly see activity taking place on the Canton Network,' said Chris Matturri, Head of Infrastructure at Proof Group. 'Previously, all of this information was gated and privy only to participants in the ecosystem. Now, we're making it available to the world- demonstrating the real activity, value, and community forming within Canton.'
"One of the core values of the Canton Network is to foster innovation across all of its participants. By showing the work being done, the progress we're making, and the firms involved, we're building trust and engagement. This block explorer is a direct reflection of that—making the network's activity and growth visible to foster a collaborative ecosystem," said Eric Saraniecki, Head of Network Strategy at Digital Asset.
Key Features of the Explorer:
• Balance Histories: real-time updates on the volume of Canton Coin on the Network.
• Network Status: Monitor validator connections and performance.
• Actor Profiles: Insight into the types of participants on-chain.
• Live Feed: View up-to-the-moment network activity.
• Burn Mechanism (Coming soon): Live view of how many tokens are being burned for economic activity on-chain.
• Transfers & Tokenomics (Coming soon): Track token flows and asset movements.
• Governance & Proposals (Coming soon): Insights into current and proposed network decisions are being made, and who's involved.
• Apps & Subscriptions (Coming soon): See how apps are being utilized across the network.
The explorer sets a new standard for transparency in private blockchain environments. Built with proprietary technology, it allows both advanced users and newcomers to gain insights similar to public tools like Etherscan, but tailored for the unique structure and privacy-preserving nature of the Canton Network.
The initial launch is just the beginning. Future updates will include a dedicated Applications Layer, enabling deeper visibility into app-specific activity within the network. This includes enhanced insights into deployments, user interactions, and other critical metrics for decentralized finance and enterprise use cases.

Judge paves the way for college athletes to earn millions
A federal judge has paved the way for college athletes to earn millions after approving a settlement between an Arizona State swimmer and the National Collegiate Athletic Association on Friday. Almost five years ago, Grant House sued the NCAA and its five biggest conferences to lift restrictions on revenue sharing with college athletes. Under the newly approved settlement, each school will now share up to $20.5 million with athletes over the next year and $2.7 billion over the next 10 years to thousands of former athletes who were previously prohibited from collecting revenue, the Associated Press reported. Most of the athletes who will reap the rewards of this suit will be football and basketball players at the biggest sports schools. House said in a CBS Sports article from May 2023 that he was inspired to pursue the lawsuit by Arizona State's music students who could get paid to play at Carnegie Hall. "I always thought it was interesting that … if [those musicians] can monetize this, take it to the farthest reaches, I couldn't because I was an athlete doing my own aspirations and dreams," House said. 'That just didn't sit well with me and confused me a lot,' he added. CBS Sports reported that the NCAA had made claims that compensating athletes would cause issues in the locker room. "I know there are quarterbacks getting millions of dollars. I'm not getting that. Good for them. I want them to actualize that," House said in response. He continued: 'I can imagine [locker room issues] in maybe some places where younger athletes have egos and haven't developed as much. I blame that on the culture. I don't blame that on NIL [name, image and likeness]. If your culture is that fragile, that weak, you as a university need to fix that.'

BREAKING NEWS College sports changed forever as judge approves groundbreaking move
Judge Claudia Wilken has approved the settlement in the House v. NCAA case - which now paves a pathway to allow colleges and universities to directly pay their athletes and changes the dynamic of American collegiate athletics forever. A decade ago, college athletes were treated as amateurs and were not directly compensated for their contributions to athletic departments, nor were they able to be paid by outside companies. With the rise of name, image, and likeness agreements in 2021, athletes could sign endorsement deals with companies and collectives of donors could pool money which could be given to athletes. Now, with this landmark settlement, the NCAA's member institutions will be allowed to pay their athletes directly in the form of revenue sharing agreements. The focal point of this case began with Arizona State swimmer Grant House, who sued the NCAA and its five biggest conferences at the time - the SEC, Big Ten, Big XII, ACC, and Pac-12 - to lift restrictions on revenue sharing. Wilken gave approval to a final proposal after months of negotiating multiple finer points of the deal - including roster limits.

Federal judge approves $2.8B settlement, paving way for US colleges to pay athletes millions
A federal judge signed off on arguably the biggest change in the history of college sports on Friday, clearing the way for schools to begin paying their athletes millions of dollars as soon as next month as the multibillion-dollar industry shreds the last vestiges of the amateur model that defined it for more than a century. Nearly five years after Arizona State swimmer Grant House sued the NCAA and its five biggest conferences to lift restrictions on revenue sharing, U.S. Judge Claudia Wilken approved the final proposal that had been hung up on roster limits, just one of many changes ahead amid concerns that thousands of walk-on athletes will lose their chance to play college sports. The sweeping terms of the so-called House settlement include approval for each school to share up to $20.5 million with athletes over the next year and $2.7 billion that will be paid over the next decade to thousands of former players who were barred from that revenue for years. The agreement brings a seismic shift to hundreds of schools that were forced to reckon with the reality that their players are the ones producing the billions in TV and other revenue, mostly through football and basketball, that keep this machine humming. The scope of the changes — some have already begun — is difficult to overstate. The professionalization of college athletics will be seen in the high-stakes and expensive recruitment of stars on their way to the NFL and NBA, and they will be felt by athletes whose schools have decided to pare their programs. The agreement will resonate in nearly every one of the NCAA's 1,100 member schools boasting nearly 500,000 athletes. The road to a settlement Wilken's ruling comes 11 years after she dealt the first significant blow to the NCAA ideal of amateurism when she ruled in favor of former UCLA basketball player Ed O'Bannon and others who were seeking a way to earn money from the use of their name, image and likeness (NIL) — a term that is now as common in college sports as 'March Madness' or 'Roll Tide.' It was just four years ago that the NCAA cleared the way for NIL money to start flowing, but the changes coming are even bigger. Wilken granted preliminary approval to the settlement last October. That sent colleges scurrying to determine not only how they were going to afford the payments, but how to regulate an industry that also allows players to cut deals with third parties so long as they are deemed compliant by a newly formed enforcement group that will be run by auditors at Deloitte. The agreement takes a big chunk of oversight away from the NCAA and puts it in the hands of the four biggest conferences. The ACC, Big Ten, Big 12 and SEC hold most of the power and decision-making heft, especially when it comes to the College Football Playoff, which is the most significant financial driver in the industry and is not under the NCAA umbrella like the March Madness tournaments are. Winners and losers The list of winners and losers is long and, in some cases, hard to tease out. A rough guide of winners would include football and basketball stars at the biggest schools, which will devote much of their bankroll to signing and retaining them. For instance, Michigan quarterback Bryce Underwood's NIL deal is reportedly worth between $10.5 million and $12 million. Losers will be the walk-ons and partial scholarship athletes whose spots are gone. One of the adjustments made at Wilken's behest was to give those athletes a chance to return to the schools that cut them in anticipation of the deal going through. Also in limbo are Olympic sports many of those athletes play and that serve as the main pipeline for a U.S. team that has won the most medals at every Olympics since the downfall of the Soviet Union. All this is a price worth paying, according to the attorneys who crafted the settlement and argue they delivered exactly what they were asked for: an attempt to put more money in the pockets of the players whose sweat and toil keep people watching from the start of football season through March Madness and the College World Series in June. What the settlement does not solve is the threat of further litigation. Though this deal brings some uniformity to the rules, states still have separate laws regarding how NIL can be doled out, which could lead to legal challenges. NCAA President Charlie Baker has been consistent in pushing for federal legislation that would put college sports under one rulebook and, if he has his way, provide some form of antitrust protection to prevent the new model from being disrupted again. ___
