Canto is a permissionless blockchain built with the Cosmos SDK that offers an EVM execution layer and core financial primitives, including a decentralized exchange, lending market, and unit of account (NOTE).Since launch, core development on Canto continues, spearheaded by the Canto Protocol Improvement Cluster (CPIC). Released earlier this year, Contract Secured Revenue (CSR) offers a new source of revenue for smart contract developers, while features yet to hit the chain include streamlined bridging and a native liquid staking protocol.In support of Canto’s Free Public Infrastructure – a framework that advocates for DeFi primitives to be provided as public utilities, among other tenets – the COH encourages projects centered on sustainability, authenticity, and creativity.
