General & Platform

The DA Registry is designed for organizations that want to operate a tokenization platform. This includes:
  • Issuers: Organizations looking to deploy and operate the DA Registry to issue their own native digital assets.
  • Platform Providers: Entities wanting to offer a turnkey tokenization platform for their clients to issue assets into the network.
The DA Registry provides the secure, onchain infrastructure needed to get production-ready tokenization up and running quickly.
No, but it is its direct evolution.The DA Registry evolved from the tokenization tooling originally included in the Canton Network Utilities toolbox. It has been completely redesigned to deliver a far more comprehensive, purpose-built experience dedicated specifically to digital asset issuance, registry, and lifecycle management.
The DA Registry dApp UI (decentralized app) is an user interface centrally hosted and provided by DA, so that you don’t have to deploy and host the UI with your validator. It enables asset issuers to quickly launch and manage onchain assets on .By leveraging this fully hosted experience, asset issuers can skip the costly and time-consuming process of building and maintaining a custom front-end interface.

Compliance & Security

The DA Registry provides granular compliance control capabilities for onchain assets operating on the Canton Network through two primary tools:

1. The Credentials Contract

This contract enables you to attach verifiable claims to trusted parties on the network, supporting flexible permissioning use cases like .For example: After onboarding and verifying a financial institution through an off-ledger KYC process, an asset issuer can instantly record that verified credential onchain.

2. On-Ledger Allowlist / Blocklist

DA Registry provides a cryptographically verifiable, on-ledger list that allows asset administrators to programmatically enforce transfer rules. This dynamically blocks or permits actions in the mint, transfer, and burn logic to satisfy strict regulatory compliance and sanction-screening workflows.
