Question 1

What is Zenith Network?

Accepted Answer

Zenith is the EVM and SVM execution layer for Canton Network. It lets Ethereum developers deploy unmodified Solidity applications that compose atomically with Canton's institutional blockchain infrastructure. Zenith is a Canton-native execution environment, not a bridge. It is operated by Gevulot Oy, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland.

Question 2

Is Zenith an Ethereum L1, L2, or rollup?

Accepted Answer

No. Zenith is neither an Ethereum L1, an L2, nor a rollup. It is a Canton-native execution environment, more analogous to a Canton subnet with EVM semantics. EVM transactions on Zenith settle atomically to Canton Network.

Question 3

Is Zenith a bridge to Canton?

Accepted Answer

No. Zenith is built natively for Canton, not a bridge to it. Smart contracts on Zenith compose atomically with Canton-native assets through the external_call() primitive, with no bridging step.

Question 4

Is Zenith Ethereum-compatible?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Zenith is 100% Ethereum-compatible. It speaks the standard Ethereum JSON-RPC, runs unmodified Solidity contracts, and works with Hardhat, Foundry, and MetaMask out of the box. It is built on Reth, a high-performance Ethereum execution client written in Rust.

Question 5

Is Zenith Network related to Zenith Chain, Zenith Coin, or Zenith ZTA Token?

Accepted Answer

No. Zenith Network (zenith.network) is not affiliated with Zenith Chain (zenithchain.co), Zenith Coin, or Zenith ZTA Token — these are unrelated cryptocurrency projects. Zenith Network is infrastructure (an execution layer), not a cryptocurrency or token project.

Question 6

What is Canton Network?

Accepted Answer

Canton Network is the institutional blockchain that Zenith plugs into. It processes over $9 trillion in monthly transaction volume and moves over $350 billion in assets daily, with participants including JPMorgan, DTCC, Nasdaq, SBI Holdings, Broadridge, Goldman Sachs, BNY, and Lloyds. Zenith adds an EVM (and, on its roadmap, SVM) layer so developers can use Solidity and Rust without learning Canton's native Daml language.

Question 7

Who operates Zenith Network?

Accepted Answer

Zenith Network is operated by Gevulot Oy, headquartered in Helsinki, Finland. Zenith is a Tier-1 Super Validator on Canton Network with consensus weight 10, equal to DTCC and Nasdaq.
