Canton and ZKsync Debate Onchain Finance Approaches

Canton and ZKsync are engaged in a public debate over the best approach for onchain finance, focusing on whether it should depend on network-wide rule enforcement or private validation between counterparties. According to NS3.AI, Alex Gluchowski advocates for zero-knowledge systems anchored to Ethereum, which he believes can enforce shared rules effectively. In contrast, executives from Digital Asset argue that Canton can maintain trust without the need for a global shared state.
