Cross-Chain Token (CCT) — Canton

Choose the guide that matches your starting point:

New Registry instrument

Registry Issuer Guide — Full workflow from Registry onboarding through instrument creation, mint, BurnMint pool deployment, and Token Admin Registry registration. Includes optional canton-registry-kit CLI automation.

Use when: you are issuing a token through Digital Asset's Registry utility and connecting it to CCIP for the first time.

Existing instrument — BurnMint

BurnMint Token Pool Deployment — Deploy a BurnMint pool, register on TAR, and enable a lane. Assumes supply is already on-ledger and the instrument supports BurnMintFactory.

Use when: your instrument admin equals the intended pool owner and the token supports burn/mint.

Existing instrument — LockRelease

LockRelease Token Pool Deployment — Deploy a LockRelease pool, fund liquidity, configure pre-approval, register on TAR, and enable a lane.

Use when: fixed total supply, transfer pre-approvals available, and you prefer lock/release over burn/mint.

After deployment

All guides end with a Go Live checklist:

  1. Verify on-ledger configuration (TAR mapping, pool address, rate limiters).
  2. Stand up the Explicit Disclosure Service for your pool.
  3. Run test transactions — see CCIP on Canton — Overview for send/execute flows.

Cross-chain send and receive (CCIPSender.Send, CCIPReceiver.Execute) are validated by Chainlink operations once your token is registered and lanes are configured.
