Visa Announces Becoming a Canton Network Super Validator

BlockBeats news, March 26, Visa announced it will join the Canton Network, becoming the first major global payment company to serve as a super-validator. Visa will be one of 40 super-validators, helping banks and financial institutions move payment flows onto the blockchain.

Rubail Birwadker, Head of Global Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, stated: “Many banks view the lack of privacy as a critical barrier to moving meaningful activity on-chain. By operating as a super-validator on the Canton Network, we bring Visa-level trust, governance, and operational rigor to privacy-preserving blockchain infrastructure, enabling regulated financial institutions to put payments on-chain without rethinking their operational approach.”
