Canton Foundation Opens a Public Directory of Wallet Capabilities
Wallet providers list what they support, from Canton Coin to CIP-0056 tokens and pre-approvals, and back their claims with evidence that anyone can check or challenge.
The Canton Foundation has opened a public, community-maintained directory of wallet capabilities on the Canton Network. It was announced on the Canton forum on 24 July 2026 and lives in the Foundation's GitHub repository, canton-foundation/wallets, where the first commit creating it is dated 10 July.
What it tracks
The directory records whether each wallet supports Canton Coin (CC), tokens built on the CIP-0056 token standard, dApp connectivity, transfer pre-approvals and other features. Each claim is meant to be linked to its supporting evidence. It launched with only a dummy example entry.
How a wallet gets listed
- Self-attestation. A provider opens a pull request with a file listing the features its wallet supports.
- Evidence. Providers are encouraged, though not required, to back claims with transaction IDs, screenshots or recordings.
- Outside checks. Anyone outside the wallet's team can confirm a claim, or flag one that does not hold up, by adding their own evidence.
- Mechanics. Contributors copy a template file, add their evidence to a proofs folder, run a script that regenerates the directory table and open a pull request; the full rules are in the repository's contributing guide.
The announcement says there is no gatekeeping and no fee, and that a listing does not imply endorsement.
Who is listed
The first real entries, Dfns and Send, were added on 28 July. By 10 October the directory listed eight wallets: Askardex Wallet, Blockdaemon Institutional Vault, Dfns, Ledger Wallet, Metatarz, Nightly, Send and Walley. On 1 October its compliance entry became a free-text field, after a forum user asked in August what the field was meant to cover.
Why it matters
Which wallets handle CC and token-standard assets, and how, has been a recurring question for holders, exchanges and app builders. Features such as pre-approvals, which let an account receive assets without signing each incoming transfer, matter for exchanges and cold storage. A single, evidence-based list makes those differences easier to compare.
The entries are self-reported, though. A listing is not an audit or a recommendation, so check the linked evidence before relying on a feature.
