Privacy-enabled blockchain infrastructure and Daml tooling for institutional finance
Digital Asset builds the technology behind the Canton Network, a privacy-focused public blockchain for financial markets, with a polyglot stack of Daml, Scala, Haskell, Java and Go running across GCP, AWS and Azure. HSM and AWS KMS usage plus Pekko and gRPC point to security-critical, distributed settlement systems. Hiring weighted toward senior and principal engineering and product talent, alongside Splice adoption, signals a push to activate stablecoin and payment use cases on Canton.
