What is Silvana?

Silvana (Silvana Book) is a private orderbook exchange and agent interaction layer built natively for the Canton Network. Designed to transform institutional digital asset trading, the platform separates execution from settlement by utilizing an off-chain private matching engine alongside on-chain atomic Delivery-versus-Payment (DvP) finality. By keeping orders, balances, and strategies away from public mempools, the system eliminates front-running, slippage, and counterparty risks.

Equipped with typed gRPC APIs and developer SDKs, the ecosystem natively supports autonomous AI agents that automate liquidity provision and complex trading workflows without blind authority over assets. Users retain direct self-custodial control over their funds throughout the matching process until final settlement conditions are verified. Functioning as a high-performance venue for tokenized assets, the project bridges institutional privacy with decentralized execution.
