Canton Builders Office Hours: HackCanton showcase

CrossDesk presented on Canton Builders Office Hours: HackCanton, a builders' panel hosted on the Canton Network Discord Builder Stage alongside two other Season 2 teams. The slot showed the wrapper-mark fixing — a benchmark print and a committee-attested par factor as two signed fields, and a venue attestation refused by the ledger when its observed range does not contain the price — running on the hosted sandbox.

The hosted desk is a sandbox, not a Canton Network participant. A participant remains the standing blocker to a DevNet deployment.

Signer protocol, version 1

The rulebook for the people who sign a fixing: per seat, the named conditions a member verifies before confirming — redemption integrity for the issuer, book acceptance for the lender, the observed traded range for the venue — with the venue's range enforced on the ledger. The protocol is served as data by the API and the desk renders its checkboxes from it.

Fixing methodology, version 0.1 (draft)

Identification, what a fixing measures, the calculation waterfall with minimum quality conditions, strike time, inputs, restatement, oversight, cessation, changes and publication — and a per-section table of what is implemented on the ledger and what is policy.

Best Financial Application — HackCanton Season 2 Grand Final

CrossDesk was awarded Best Financial Application at the HackCanton Season 2 Grand Final. The entry was the sealed closing auction, the K-of-N committee fixing, and in-kind creation and redemption settling against it, running as a Daml package on the shared hackathon participant. During the season 4.16 real cBTC was claimed through a CIP-56 registry flow onto the desk's parties, on the issuer's own templates.
