Core concepts
The building blocks of CanQuest: CC, tokens, locks, preapproval, and party-based identity.
Party ID
Your identity on Canton is a party ID — a string like alice::1220…. One verified account gets one. It's the address you send to and receive CC and tokens at.
CanQuest is non-custodial: your Ed25519 private key is generated and encrypted in your browser and never leaves it. Every on-chain action — send, lock, swap, claim — is signed by you. During setup you save a Backup Key (64-character hex) that can restore your wallet and reset your passphrase on any device.
CC (Amulet)
CC is the native unit of Canton Network (the on-chain instrument is the Amulet). You send it, lock it, pay quest fees with it, and receive it as rewards. Your balance is shown in USD at the live amulet price.
USDCx & tokens
USDCx is a token you can hold, send P2P, and swap against CC via the OneSwap exchange.
| Token | Send P2P | Swap | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| CC (Amulet) | Yes | Yes (vs USDCx) | Live |
| USDCx | Yes | Yes (vs CC) | Live |
| CBTC | Visible | — | Coming soon |
Locked amulets
A LockedAmulet is CC you've locked for a chosen term to reach Full access, which unlocks partner campaigns.
- Your CC stays in your wallet — it doesn't move to a custodian.
- Pick a term (e.g. 7, 15, or 30 days — options come from the server).
- When the term ends, unlock and your CC returns in full. A small network cost applies while locked.
Transfer preapproval
Transfer preapproval lets incoming CC transfers land in your wallet directly, instead of arriving as an offer you must accept. Toggle it per token from Wallet. Enabling pre-pays a one-time network burn (around 1.5 CC), and toggling has a 7-day cooldown.
