A company backed by a16z aims to fill the compliance gap in Canton cross-chain liquidity.
NEW YORK CITY, NY / ACCESS Newswire / July 14, 2026 / Interstice Digital today launched the Cross-Chain Swap Engine to transfer assets between Canton and Ethereum. The Cross-Chain Swap Engine screens both sender and receiver for KYB/KYC and AML before settlement executes, purpose-built for organizations that cannot compromise on privacy or regulatory standing. This opens a path to cross-chain liquidity for regulated institutions and compliance-minded organizations that did not previously exist.
It is a Featured App on the Canton Network.
Unlike public blockchains, Canton shields transaction intent from counterparties and competitors while maintaining a complete, immutable audit trail. For organizations concerned with compliance, primarily those based in the United States, that distinction is the difference between infrastructure they can use and infrastructure they cannot. Moving liquidity cross-chain to and from the Canton Network compliantly has been complicated, until now.
The Interstice Digital Cross-Chain Swap keeps intent private and execution certain. The engine is non-custodial; Interstice Digital never holds client assets at any point in the transaction. Every transaction settles atomically, meaning it either completes fully or does not execute at all. Cross-chain bridging volume runs approximately $884 million per day across all networks. As assets accumulate on Canton, the Canton-to-Ethereum corridor is poised to become one of the most significant in institutional crypto.
“Cross-chain liquidity has existed for years,” says Janine Yorio, CEO of Interstice Digital. “We just built it for companies that have compliance officers on the network where Wall Street is converging with crypto capital markets.”
The launch comes as institutional deployment on Canton accelerates. Goldman Sachs, Visa, and Nasdaq are among the institutions that have committed to the network, and DTCC is set to complete a pilot to tokenize U.S. Treasuries. It also follows a $355 million raise by Digital Asset, Canton’s creator, led by a16z crypto, the same firm backing Interstice Digital.
Interstice Digital is a Featured App on Canton Network. Users can get started at intersticedigital.io.
