Discover the pioneering vision of Canto, where decentralized finance (DeFi) meets public good. Canto redefines the DeFi landscape by proposing that essential financial tools should serve as Free Public Infrastructure (FPI). By focusing on three fundamental primitives—decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending markets, and a decentralized unit of account—Canto transforms how users interact with digital assets. This innovative approach ensures that these critical services are accessible to everyone, promoting inclusivity and financial equity. Join the movement towards a more open and efficient DeFi ecosystem with Canto, where core services are elevated to public utility, fostering transparency and community-driven growth. Explore the future of finance today!

Canto presents the radical notion that core DeFi primitives should exist as Free Public Infrastructure (FPI). Having observed the growth of the DeFi space, three core primitives have emerged to anchor any healthy DeFi ecosystem: decentralized exchanges (DEX), lending markets, and a decentralized unit of account.
Canto chooses to launch all these core DeFi primitives as public utility protocols, or Free Public Infrastructure (FPI).
