Our unparalleled advantage

By providing innovative solutions that are faster, more secure, and more cost-effective than traditional systems, Canvas is helping to unlock the potential of digital finance globally. 

Canvas was created in the belief that tokenised deposits, CBDCs and digital securities will radically transform financial and capital markets over the next decade with trillions of dollars of securities and currencies to be tokenized and traded 24/7/365.

Innovation is behind everything we do
By leveraging emerging technologies like Zero Knowledge Proofs and Layer 2 networks, Canvas is able to provide the critical infrastructure needed by governments, financial institutions and corporates as they begin to adopt Digital Assets & trade digital securities in the Digital Economy.

Our Commitment to privacy and confidentiality
We understand the need for financial institutions and governments to protect confidential information and comply with regulatory compliance requirements. We are committed to safeguarding sensitive information whilst benefiting from the efficiencies gained with public blockchain technology.

Canvas Connect, our core privacy layer, is built with privacy at the forefront. It ensures that financial institutions canmove confidently into the digital economy whilst providing their clients with ahigher level of security and confidentiality, and comply with regulatoryrequirements related to data privacy and protection.

Leading the industry to a better financial future
We think that regulation of the industry is important to safeguard market participants and as such we are registered as aDigital Currency Exchange with Austrac. We are also authorised by ASIC to create, arrange and deal in financial products. 

We have decades of experience in FinTech and bring this level of expertise and professionalism to an emerging market. Not theoretical – we create and deploy  live real commercial applications of blockchain technology that generate long term recurring revenue from blue chip clients globally. 

We share our time, experience, knowledge and networks with the community with the aim of establishing Australia as a global leader of digital assets.

Our company mission

“To create financial infrastructure for the digital economy enabling the next billion blockchain users”.
‍

Our company core purpose

“To build a financial environment to bring people and opportunities closer together”.
‍

The 4 belief pillars we live by are:

1.
Treat It Like You Own It
‍
‍
We want people to treat this business like it’s their own. Take responsibility for their actions, their work and their attitudes. We can only change the world if we all turn up every day as the best versions of ourselves and leave the business and our customers in a better place than we found them that morning.
2.
Say No To Isolation
‍
‍
We are a team, we look up, we look around, we care more than others, we care more for others, we learn from others and our eyes are always on the horizon. We know ideas come from people’s experience and different backgrounds. We trust each other to deliver on what we say we will.
3.
Every Problem Has A Solution
‍
‍
We are a yes and business. Action trumps inaction every day and done is better than perfect. Through our experience, drive, innovative attitudes and relentless urge to succeed we will always find a solution.
4.
What’s Coming Up Is More Important Than What’s Happened
We are a future focused business. We are literally transforming the way finance is done all over the world, we need to be focused on the future not the past. We make decisions every day with the information and resources we have to the best of our ability and back ourselves. We need to be ahead of the game and planning way into the future not looking back at the past.
