Visa Announces Becoming Super Validator for Canton Network

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

Rubail Birwadker, Head of Global Growth Products and Strategic Partnerships at Visa, said: "Many banks believe that lack of privacy is a critical barrier to meaningful on-chain activity. By operating as a super validator on Canton Network, we bring Visa-level trust, governance, and operational rigor to privacy-protecting blockchain infrastructure, enabling regulated financial institutions to put payments on the chain without rethinking their operations."
