For custodians · Canton Network · Pilot

A role in every fund that holds assets in your care.

Custodians holding the assets that back tokens and funds.

What you get

What’s in it for you.

More assets to hold

Every fund launched on these prices needs its backing held somewhere, and the issuer keeps its own custodian.

Your confirmation is part of the fund value

The daily fund value only publishes once your holdings match the ledger.

In one line. “Funds need a custodian. Your daily confirmation is part of every fund value.”

What you do

What we ask of you.

  • Once a day, confirm the totals you hold match the fund’s records. A few numbers, never your statements or client data.

Cost: Free. Never charged, never paid.

The detail: what we ask each committee seat · how it works, role by role · who pays.

How the pieces feed each other

More trusted prices, more funds, more volume.

Firms that already trade, lend or issue a token help make its daily price

Exchanges, lenders, custodians and the token’s issuer each check the part they know.

With a trusted price, funds can be built on the token

We do the ETF plumbing that usually takes five or more firms, in one system on Canton.

Each fund buys the tokens it holds, and its shares can list on exchanges

Investors buying the fund means the underlying tokens are bought and held too.

More volume for the token, its exchanges and its lenders

And every later fund reuses the prices already signed, so each one is faster to launch.

This is what we are building, not a result yet: no fund has launched on ETP Foundry. Status below.

Where it stands today

Built and running on a test network. You would be among the first.

Live
Our own Canton DevNet node
Running since 24 Sep 2026. It already holds real DevNet tokens from their issuers: BitSafe CBTC, onRails cETH and Canton Coin.
Not yet
Outside firms signing
No outside firm has taken a seat yet, so every price today is labelled pilot.
Not yet
A fund on real money
That comes after outside signers and an independent code audit.

Live checks: system status. Not a registered benchmark administrator: Regulatory.
