Wrapped Canton Coin wallet

What is Wrapped Canton Coin (WCC)?

Canton Coin belongs to the Canton Network, a ledger built for institutional finance where applications run as separate, privacy-partitioned domains rather than one public state that everyone reads. Canton Coin is the network's native unit, tied to the operation of that infrastructure. wCC is a one-to-one representation of it issued on BNB Smart Chain, backed by CC locked on the Canton side.

The gap between those two environments is what defines this token. Canton is not EVM and its ledger is deliberately not openly readable; BNB Smart Chain is the opposite on both counts. Wrapping is the only path between them, and it runs through a controlled mint-and-redeem process rather than an open bridge anyone can push through. So a wCC balance behaves like any BEP-20 token - visible on chain, transferable in one step, gas paid in BNB - while the CC behind it sits under a different set of rules entirely.

A few things follow from that:

• wCC and native CC are not the same holding, and they live on networks with different address formats.
• Anything wCC does happens in the EVM world; native Canton activity requires the underlying coin.
• You need BNB in the wallet before you can move wCC at all.

Tangem's part here is small and specific: the private key is created inside the card's secure chip and signs without ever being exported, with a duplicate card as your backup and a seed phrase only if you want one. A wrapped institutional-network asset is not something you hand around daily, and a key that lives in a chip you keep offline suits a holding like that better than anything kept on a connected device.
