Visa Announces Participation as a Canton Network Super Validator

BlockBeats News, March 26th, Visa announced that it will join the Canton Network as the first major global payment company to serve as a super-validator. Visa will be one of the 40 super-validators, helping banks and financial institutions move payment flows onto the chain.

Rubail Birwadker, Head of Global Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, said: "Many banks see a lack of privacy as a fatal flaw preventing meaningful on-chain activity. By operating as a super-validator on the Canton Network, we will bring Visa-level trust, governance, and operational rigor to privacy-protecting blockchain infrastructure, enabling regulated financial institutions to move payments on-chain without having to rethink their operations."
