Getting started
Core concepts
A plain-language reference for Canton identities, market terms and transaction states.
Account and asset identity
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| CC | Canton Coin, used for launchpad funding and the CC side of supported markets |
| Party ID | The Canton party associated with an account and its authorized actions |
| Instrument ID | The full identity of an asset, including its registry administrator |
| Profile | Your product identity and preferences in supanova |
| Wallet | The account connection and authorization interface used for asset actions |
| Network | The Canton environment to which the account and action belong |
Signing in to a profile and authorizing a wallet transaction are separate steps. A matching ticker does not prove that two instruments are the same asset.
Markets
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Bonding curve | The pricing rule used before a coin graduates |
| Net reserve | CC currently backing the curve after the relevant fee treatment |
| Curve inventory | Tokens allocated to sale on the launch curve |
| Virtual reserve | A parameter of the pricing formula; not an additional holding |
| Graduation | The transition from completed curve trading to an activated AMM |
| AMM | An automated market maker that prices trades using pool reserves |
| Liquidity | Reserves available to support trading |
| Market cap | A price-and-supply valuation; not the amount a holder can necessarily sell for |
Quotes and execution
| Term | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Quote | Time-limited terms for a specific action |
| Quote ID | The identifier of those terms |
| Spot price | A marginal price at a particular market state |
| Price impact | The effect of trade size on execution price |
| Slippage tolerance | The permitted change from the quote under your authorization |
| Minimum received | The lower output bound accepted in the reviewed action |
| Operation or command reference | The identifier used to follow a submitted action |
| Confirmation | The service's final confirmed outcome, distinct from preparing or signing |
