// the evidence
Claims, and where each one stands.
Every claim on this page carries its evidence tier. Nothing is smoothed over, and nothing a project told me is presented as something I checked.
The Canton product page heading is The Canton Network, deploying validators with Kiln. The page, bylined John Mulreany, Protocol Specialist, 3 March 2026, says Kiln has been elected to run a Super Validator in the Canton ecosystem, and that Kiln has been approved by the foundation as a Super Validator.
kiln.fi/protocols/cantonThe same page says Kiln offers a white-labeled service that deploys and whitelists a validator in the Canton ecosystem with API-led implementation.
kiln.fi/protocols/cantonThe homepage lists Canton among live protocols and links that card to kiln.fi/protocols/canton.
kiln.fi homepageOn 13 November 2025 Kiln published that OKCoin Japan went live as a validator on Canton, running on Kiln's infrastructure, and that OKJ validates transactions on Canton while Kiln handles the technical operations. The post quotes OKJ CEO Zhongyang Feng and Kiln CEO Laszlo S.
kiln.fi OKCoin Japan Canton postOn 12 August 2025 Kiln published that Kiln has been approved as a Supervalidator on Canton, and that as a Super Validator Kiln helps secure and maintain Canton by participating in consensus.
kiln.fi Super Validator postThe legal identification page says the website is published by KILN SAS, a simplified joint-stock company with share capital of 7209.48 euros, office at 17, rue Henry Monnier, 75009, Paris.
kiln.fi/legalThe contact page has a Media enquiries line at media@kiln.fi. support@kiln.fi appears on the site as support.
kiln.fi/contactJohn Mulreany, in a 4 September 2026 reply to Canton Catalyst about Kiln Canton coverage gaps, wrote that liveness rewards were discontinued in April of this year, so any mention of them or uptime rewards is redundant, and that Kiln will update its documentation. Given the email date, April of this year means April 2026. kiln.fi/protocols/canton, still served, continues to describe validator liveness rewards. This page does not treat liveness or uptime rewards as a current Kiln Canton product claim.
Mulreany email 4 Sep 2026// what would move the score
Catalysts.
Each one names what I am watching and what would prove me wrong.
kiln.fi/protocols/canton still states Kiln has been elected and approved as a Super Validator.
Falsified if: that page drops the Super Validator claim, or 404s.
The 4 September 2026 Mulreany reply still stands as the current statement that liveness rewards were discontinued.
Falsified if: Kiln republishes current liveness or uptime rewards as a live product without dating the change.
// what I could not verify
Gaps.
These are findings, not omissions. I looked and state what I found.
Canton-scoped versus platform-wide counts. The homepage states Assets delegated (ATH) $18B+ and Yield generated through Kiln $800M+. Those are Kiln's platform-wide figures and are not scoped to Canton.
Named Canton customers. Kiln's Super Validator post says enterprise infrastructure on Canton has already been trusted by 1kx, CoinShares, Reown, Kronos Research, and more. Those names are Kiln's list and are not independently counted here.
// open to the project
Sections Kiln can fill.
These stay empty until the project supplies them. Anything supplied is labeled as supplied, dated, and never rendered as something I verified. Declining changes nothing else on this page.
Architecture
How the product is built, in the team's own words.
Audit
Any audit, review or internal security practice not published today.
Roadmap
What ships next and when, so the catalysts above can carry real dates.
Usage figures
Published usage with a methodology, so a count can move off announced tier.
// conflicts
Position.
Position disclosure. I hold $CC and $CNTN. This page covers a Canton-native product, which triggers disclosure under my map. Kiln itself is not a holding of mine. The full conflicts register is on the disclosure page. Kiln has no commercial relationship with Canton Catalyst, and nothing here was requested, reviewed or paid for.
