Tokenization is in full swing. However, alone, it is not enough. Assets need to be effectively handled. Increasingly, these operations will be performed by software agents rather than humans.

We believe that:

1. Ultimately, all assets will be tokenized.
2. Agents will operate them.

<Callout icon="chain" color="#cf65c9">
  Silvana is the agent interaction layer for the next generation of tokenized assets.
</Callout>

Our vision extends to treasury management, lending, payroll, compliance, reporting, audit, due diligence, RWA, and corporate operations, and far beyond.

# Why Canton?

Silvana and Canton are a powerful match. Canton ensures privacy and secure institutional-grade settlement, while Silvana provides a framework for building agentic apps to manage tokenized assets.
