Supanova Brings Token Launchpad to Canton, With Fairer Trading by Design
New York, New York, November 9th, 2026, Chainwire
On blockchains with public mempools, a retail buy can be seen before it lands, and automated traders are waiting to jump ahead of it. Supanova brings permissionless token issuance to Canton Network, where the infrastructure that orders transactions cannot read their contents, pairing that protection with a fee model built to keep more value with creators and their communities.
Supanova, a wallet and trading app built for Canton Network, has launched a token launchpad that lets users create a token, trade it, and follow it through graduation without ever leaving the app. Its ambition is to make Supanova the fairest place in Web3 to launch a token. The case starts with a simple difference: pending trades are not broadcast through a public mempool for bots to exploit.
The launch expands retail participation on a network best known for institutions. Broadridge runs its distributed ledger repo platform on Canton, and DTCC’s newly launched Tokenization Service is integrated with the network. Digital Asset, the company behind Canton, raised $355 million in June 2026 in a round led by a16z crypto, with Citadel Securities, HSBC, BNP Paribas and CME Ventures among the investors.
Permissionless token issuance and AMM trading add another use for Canton Coin (CC): launching and trading community-created assets. For Canton, that broadens the economy around its institutional activity. For retail traders, the privacy that institutions require has a practical benefit of its own: keeping pending orders out of public view.
Supanova reported 10 million CC in trading volume in less than a day following its November 3 launch. The initial activity also tested the funding routes into Canton. In a November 5 update, the company said available CC liquidity on some routes had temporarily run out following launch, with liquidity available again through Squid.
Among the early tokens to graduate into Supanova’s AMM is QUADRILLIONS, whose name plays on Canton’s ambition to bring institutional finance onchain. Canton already uses “Quadrillions” for its Blockworks series and industry events. On Supanova, that language has acquired a community token of its own.
Digital Asset’s co-founders have already joined the conversation. In a November 5 post, Eric Saraniecki, co-founder and head of network strategy, described recent activity as “a great example of the crypto native / tradfi worlds converging in Canton” and said he had bought PAUL on Supanova. Another early graduate, PAUL is a tongue-in-cheek reference to crypto broadcaster Paul Barron’s earlier exchange with Yuval Rooz about memecoins on Canton.
The Trade Everyone Else Can See
Anyone trading a newly launched token can pay a cost that never appears as a fee. If a trade can be seen before it settles, an automated trader can buy just ahead of it, let the retail order push the price up and sell straight back into it. The practice is known as a sandwich attack, one form of maximal extractable value, or MEV. On Ethereum, that view can come from the public mempool, where pending transactions wait in the open. A Cointelegraph Research analysis of EigenPhi data, covering November 2024 to October 2025, put annual trader losses at about $60 million.
In an 11-month study ending in October 2026, the data provider Bitquery counted nearly 6.9 million sandwich attacks on Solana affecting more than two million wallets, extracting an estimated $29.7 million before the bots’ costs. Some 96% of those attacks landed on Pump.fun’s launch curve and its PumpSwap exchange. Launchpad buyers are especially exposed when they set wide slippage tolerances to trade thin, volatile tokens: among Jupiter swaps of Pump.fun coins, Bitquery found that trades allowing 20% to 50% slippage were sandwiched 14 times as often as those allowing less than 3%.
Tools meant to shield traders have not closed the gap. A research paper released in September 2026, which examined protected order flow across six blockchains, concluded that existing front-running protections can offer substantially weaker guarantees than users expect.
Canton removes the public preview. The network has no public mempool, and the infrastructure that puts transactions in order cannot read their contents. Under Canton’s protocol, transaction payloads are encrypted end to end between participants, and the sequencers that order transactions see encrypted messages and routing information rather than what is being bought or sold. On Supanova’s launchpad, that removes the public view of pending orders that mempool-based sandwich bots rely on.
Yuval Rooz, Digital Asset’s co-founder and CEO, has publicly highlighted the same advantage. “Joking aside, memes without MEV are the true flex,” he wrote on X on November 4, pointing to the execution costs that front-running imposes on retail traders.
“On chains with public mempools, your buy can become somebody else’s trading signal,” said spokesperson for Supanova. “Retail traders have been paying for that for years without ever seeing the bill. Canton never built the window those bots look through.”
Keeping The Value Inside The Community
Canton also rewards Featured Apps in CC for qualifying network activity. Supanova says it is working towards that status and, if approved, intends to share the rewards it earns with the creators and holders of the tokens generating that activity. The aim is to give communities a share of the network rewards their participation helps generate, subject to approval and the platform’s reward-sharing terms.
Creators Keep Most Of The Fees
The fee split follows the same principle. According to Supanova, every trade on the launchpad carries a 1% fee, with the majority going to the token’s creator. The fee split follows the same principle. Every trade on the launchpad carries a 1% fee. Without a referral, 80% of that fee goes to the token’s creator and 20% to Supanova. With a referral, the split is 70% to the creator, 20% to Supanova, and 10% to the referrer.
By comparison, Pump.fun’s published bonding-curve schedule for SOL and USDC pairs lists a 1.25% fee, of which 0.95% goes to the protocol and 0.30% to the creator, before additional interface charges. Supanova’s model aims to encourage creators a reason to keep their community active beyond launch day.
One App, From Launch To Graduation
On Supanova, tokens launch on a bonding curve and, once they meet the graduation threshold, move into the app’s own automated market maker behind the same swap screen. Traders can follow a token from its first trades into an AMM pool without moving to a separate trading venue. Creators keep a single destination for their community as the market develops.
A Fairer Market Is Still A Market
Canton’s privacy does not remove every trading advantage. Sequencers still see timing and routing metadata, and hiding pending orders does not eliminate every automated trading or sniping strategy. Prices can still move sharply, liquidity can be thin, and tokens can fail. The distinction is a fairer starting point for execution, not a guarantee that a token will succeed.
The launchpad is live at launch.supanova.app.
For years, retail traders have bought newly launched tokens in full view of the bots waiting to trade against them. On Canton, Supanova is betting they would rather not be watched.
About Supanova
Supanova is the launchpad and wallet built for Canton Network. The app lets anyone create a token in a few steps, trade it in Canton Coin (CC) on a bonding curve with no gas fees, and follow it through graduation into an open liquidity pool without leaving the app. Every trade carries a 1% fee, and the majority of that fee goes to the token’s creator. Because Canton has no public mempool and its sequencers cannot read transaction contents, pending orders on Supanova are not exposed to the front-running and sandwich bots that target launchpads on public chains. Supanova also offers a self-custodial wallet for holding, sending, and swapping Canton assets, with sign-in by email, Google, or Apple and no browser extension required. The launchpad went live on November 3, 2026, and is available at launch.supanova.app. Learn more at supanova.app or follow @supanova_app on X.
