Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

And in special situation, I'm even allowed to share that information with others.

Bankless

Anonymity is slightly different, which is nobody gets to see the information.

Bankless

And again, for us, don't take this as me saying anonymity bad, privacy good.

Bankless

It's again, it's a design decision that we said, if I want XYZ buy-side firm to start managing their equity portfolio, their fixed income portfolio on Canton, privacy, not anonymity, is critical.

If I want JP Morgan...

Bankless

To do payments on Canton, privacy, critical anonymity, not going to work.

Bankless

That's, again, a design decision we can be disagreed on, but that's kind of one of them.

Bankless

The second thing, and I think this is, you know, maybe where we're going to start becoming a bit more controversial, but hopefully not.

Bankless

is we believe that the laws of physics do not agree that you can run all of the world financial services on a single ledger.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

That's our view.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

I'm happy to have conversations, and what I mean by that is when you think about Ethereum, Solana, and some of these other ledgers, effectively all transactions go through a single consensus mechanism.

Bankless

And as a result of that, it really forces the design to do a few things.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

First of all, take a lot of the activity off-chain because there's a lot of activity that why would I run it through the most expensive database in the world?

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

And by the way, when I say that, this is not an insult.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

It's a very expensive database because it gives you very unique features that are worth paying for those transactions.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

But that means that a lot of transactions are not, they don't live to that level of importance.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

And therefore, let's do a lot of things off chain, which to me is a bad outcome as a result of that because of what we're trying to do.

Bankless
Is Canton a Real Blockchain? | Canton Founder Yuval Rooz

That's one thing.

Bankless

And then second of all,

The reason that it's not good is because it will eventually create what, in my opinion, happened in Ethereum.
