About Canto
Canto is a permissionless general-purpose blockchain running the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM). It was built to deliver on the promise of DeFi – that through a post-traditional financial movement, new systems will be made accessible, transparent, decentralized, and free. Canto aims to establish free public infrastructure, core DeFi primitives will not have sovereign governance tokens, nor the capacity to extract rent in the future. Where possible, Canto avoids interface-driven user ownership. Public infrastructure DEXes will have no swapping interface, so all users must trade on third-party aggregators. This will facilitate user acquisition for new protocols. Canto is a distributed community of DeFi advocates for a free public infrastructure.
