Choose a CBTC path

Choose the path that matches your role and immediate task. Start with a read-only check before any state-changing workflow.

Institutions and trading firms

Start with CBTC overview, then review transfer operations and the security model. Use the mint or redemption guides only if your organization runs the required Canton infrastructure and has approved access.

Application developers
