Problem
Developers seeking to build on the Canton network face significant infrastructure hurdles, including the complexity of deploying and maintaining custom blockchain environments. Traditional EVM deployments on Canton lack native composability with its transactions and atomic settlement, forcing developers to choose between compatibility and access to institutional liquidity.
Solution
Zenith delivers an Ethereum-compatible execution environment anchored directly on Canton, enabling developers to deploy existing Solidity applications in minutes without modifying their codebase. The platform provides 100% EVM compatibility with familiar tooling like Hardhat, Foundry, and MetaMask, while achieving high performance of 100,000+ transactions per second with sub-second confirmation times. Applications deployed on Zenith gain native composability with Canton transactions and atomic settlement, granting direct access to institutional money flows within the ecosystem. Developers earn usage-based $CC app rewards tied to the transaction volume their applications generate.
Target Audience
Primary users are Ethereum developers, enterprises, and DeFi innovators seeking to deploy EVM applications on Canton and access institutional liquidity flows.
