Canton Network validator operations

Operate your Canton validators with eyes open.

Tributary is enterprise-grade monitoring, round-aware reward analysis, and compliance reporting for Canton Network validators — whether you self-host or run behind a Node-as-a-Service provider. Stop guessing whether your coupons minted.

The problem

Canton validators reward the attentive — and punish the blind.

Reward coupons on Canton expire the round after they're issued. Miss a mint — because your participant drifted, your traffic ran out, or automation silently failed — and that CC is gone forever. There is no slashing to warn you. There is no retroactive claim. There is just a quiet, recurring leak.

Today, validator operators pick between two bad options: stand up their own observability from scratch, or run on a managed NaaS provider whose dashboards show uptime but nothing about whether rewards actually landed.

Tributary closes the gap. Deep operational intelligence for any Canton validator — self-hosted or NaaS-managed — with a reward-accounting layer built for the protocol, not bolted on top of it.

What's in the box

A validator operations platform, not a generic dashboard.

Everything is scoped to Canton's actual protocol mechanics — 10-minute rounds, expiring coupons, burn-mint equilibrium, synchronizer traffic fees. The product is the depth.

Canton-native monitoring

Validator health, synchronizer connectivity, participant throughput, and traffic consumption — sampled every 30s and correlated against mining rounds. Not a generic Prometheus board with Canton labels bolted on.

Round-aware reward analysis

Every coupon issued, minted, and missed — per round, per validator — with USD impact at the prevailing CC rate. Know which round leaked and why, before the next one closes.

Alerts that fire before money is lost

Pre-built rules for downtime, synchronizer loss, traffic exhaustion, and missed mints. Email in v0.1; Slack, PagerDuty, and webhook channels in the enterprise release.

Compliance-grade reporting

Exportable validator audit trails, reward completeness reports, and traffic fee accounting. Built for internal audit, financial close, and regulatory review — not just dashboards.

Works with any validator

A single Go agent runs alongside your validator and streams outbound over TLS. No inbound ports. No ledger access. Self-hosted, NaaS-managed, or a mix — Tributary sits on top.

Reward syndication on the roadmap

A Daml-native token layer for distributing validator rewards to internal stakeholders, partners, and consortium members — with auto-mint monitoring, reserves, and snapshot-based allocation. Shipping after the monitoring MVP.

How it works

Fifteen minutes from zero to live metrics.

  1. 01

    Install the agent

    A single Go binary runs next to your Canton participant. Outbound-only over TLS, read-only against your Admin API, under 50 MB of RAM.

  2. 02

    Connect your org

    Sign in to the portal, generate an API key, and point the agent at it. First telemetry lands in the dashboard within minutes of install.

  3. 03

    Stop losing rewards

    Dashboards light up with round-by-round reward accounting and live health. Default alerts fire on downtime, sync loss, and missed mints — before the next round closes.

Talk to us before your next round closes.
