Alpend on Canton

Credit infrastructure suite on Canton: a confidential money market plus Alpend-1, a vault that locks CC to mint ONE, a $1-pegged CC-backed stable unit. Private, deterministic, institutional.

About Alpend

Alpend is a credit infrastructure suite on the Canton Network, built for institutional participants. It pairs two protocols: Alpend Market, a confidential money market where participants supply assets to earn yield or borrow against collateral; and Alpend-1, a vault protocol that locks Canton Coin (CC) as collateral to mint ONE, a CC-backed debt instrument geared to $1 that circulates as a stable unit of account across Canton DeFi. Positions are private by default through Canton selective-disclosure, settlement is deterministic on-chain, and protocol logic runs through transparent, auditable contracts. Backed by Draper VC.

Connected Projects

Alpend is a Featured App on the Canton Network and a General Member of the Canton Foundation, placing it alongside DTCC, Euroclear, BNP Paribas, HSBC and other institutional members. The ecosystem directory tags Alpend across Market Infrastructure, Financing, Liquidity, and Tokenized Assets. Backers are described as "leading crypto-native investors and strategic ecosystem partners," with Draper VC consistently surfaced in external references; specific round size and lead investor are not publicly disclosed. Alpend's privacy and deterministic-execution design directly leverages Canton's native confidentiality model (sub-transaction privacy via Daml), positioning the protocol as institutional-grade credit rails inside the Canton ecosystem rather than a public-mempool DeFi clone.
