Cantor8 Research Program: $200,000 to Fund Research into Agentic AI on Canton "The rise of agentic payments systems is inevitable, and Canton is the only blockchain equipped to deliver the compliance and privacy requirements that institutions demand” Cantor8 is proud to announce that we have awarded $200,000 to Yash Bharti (Wolfson College, Cambridge) to fund the development of a Canton-native standard protocol specifically for agentic AI. Yash is a seasoned researcher, having already received a grant from the @Ethereum Foundation, and hailing from institutions like Cambridge University, Harvard, and NYU. Studies estimate that Agentic AI will generate up to $450B in economic value and Canton’s unique privacy capabilities position it well to capture vast amounts of this value. What is missing, however, is a standard protocol to allow Canton-based agents to… (i) Advertise their capabilities (ii) Establish reputation (iii) Orchestrate multi-party workflows … and that is exactly what is being built now, as a result of the new funding. At Cantor8, we’re privileged to be able to connect @CantonNetwork $CC with world-leading talent at universities like Cambridge, Oxford and Imperial. This is just the beginning.
