Claims that the Canton Network has “tapped” RedStone to provide DeFi access are not supported by public records. The Canton–RedStone partnership for that purpose could not be identified, while Canton’s institutional-scale design and an official integration with another oracle provider frame the practical path for on‑chain RWA access.
Canton Network is presented as an institutional‑grade blockchain focused on privacy and regulatory compliance, and it is frequently cited in industry material as handling multitrillion‑dollar RWA volumes. Its architecture prioritizes transaction confidentiality and Daml‑based smart contracts to make tokenized collateral usable across institutions while mitigating data‑leakage concerns.
Canton has also announced a strategic integration with Chainlink — including Data Streams, SmartData (Proof of Reserve, NAVLink) and Cross‑Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) — with Chainlink named a Super Validator on the network; that collaboration was disclosed in a Canton press release dated 24 de sep. de 2025.
RedStone, by contrast, is described as a modular oracle provider that focuses on gas‑efficient feeds and specialized pricing models for RWAs and yield‑bearing instruments; it is the documented oracle partner of tokenization platforms such as Securitize. An oracle is a service that delivers external, real‑world price and reference data into deterministic smart contracts. While RedStone is active in the RWA oracle niche and has built specific tooling for complex assets, there is no public evidence that Canton selected RedStone as its primary oracle or contracted it to enable DeFi access to Canton’s reported $6T asset base.
Canton Network partnerships and infrastructure
Tokenization and reliable oracles are central to turning illiquid, institutional assets into tradable or derivativeable on‑chain instruments such as on‑chain repo and securities lending; these use cases are among the capabilities Canton’s design aims to support. The selection of Chainlink as an integration partner signals a preference for an established, market‑standard data and interoperability stack rather than an unannounced swap to a different oracle provider.
For market participants, the operational takeaway is clear: liquidity, hedging, and derivative structures that depend on RWA price feeds will follow the live integrations and standardized data sources Canton endorses. Misattributed or premature reports about partnerships can distort trader positioning and cause avoidable informational risk; derivatives desks and liquidity providers should monitor official Canton and oracle‑provider disclosures before adjusting hedges or leverage.
The evolving RWA infrastructure also increases the importance of counterparty and oracle risk models, since errors or disagreements in feeds amplify losses in leveraged strategies. Next verified milestone: follow official Canton or Chainlink updates and published integration metrics to confirm which oracle feeds underpin on‑chain RWA liquidity and the timing of any broader DeFi composability.
Public records indicate Canton is deepening ties with Chainlink rather than RedStone for its announced oracle and interoperability needs. RedStone remains a significant RWA oracle provider in the broader market but not the confirmed conduit for Canton’s cited asset pool.
