About Canto

Canto (CANTO) is an EVM-compatible Layer 1 blockchain built on Cosmos SDK with a unique philosophy: core DeFi infrastructure — DEX, lending market, and stablecoin (NOTE) — is provided as free public goods. No fees are charged for using these native protocols, and liquidity providers in the native DEX do not earn fees (to avoid extractive behavior). Canto launched with no VC funding, no team token allocation, and a fair launch. The ecosystem includes a native stablecoin (NOTE), lending market, DEX (Canto DEX), and free public infrastructure contracts anyone can build on.
