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

Immutability is a social construct.

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

Yeah, I agree that that's true.

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

But as long as, Ryan, as you stick to the fact that it's a social contract and not a guaranteed, and that's kind of where I go back

Bankless

to the design features that I don't think in today's world, a regulated institution, top tier regulated institution would be able to go to their regulator as of right now.

Bankless

And maybe that will change in the future as of right now and be able to say, I'm choosing this chain because they have a very strong social contract.

Bankless

I don't think that they would be able to convince a regular, we're going to put our books on records.

Bankless

We're going to forget about TradFi off-chain books on record.

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

We're just going to put our books on record on that because they have a very, very, very strong social contract.

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

That's just a personal view that I have.

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

And I don't, again, and this is while agreeing with you about certain chains have a very strong social contract, but at the end of the day, it's not a technical design.

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

It's a social contract.

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

And that's the difference.

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

That's just the reality.

Bankless

So when you even look at some of the announcement recently on native equity on chain, when you read the fine detail, you always still have to have an off-chain redundancy in case that social contract or something else breaks.

Bankless

So our view, and this goes back to kind of where we were a while ago, is by wait a minute, anyway, you're taking risk on the issuer.

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

Anyway, you are exposing yourself to censorship or something that they can do to you.

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

then why not actually give a very strong technical guarantee that said issuer has full sovereignty and control over their ledger.

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

No third party can fork their ledger.

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

And by doing that, they can actually do everything on-chain, nothing off-chain, right?

Bankless

So again, it's not trying to say, this is bad, this is good.
