Introducing Canopy: Peer-to-peer security for Web3 applications.
A new path for builders who want sovereignty, scale, and seamless interoperability from day 1.
Here’s how we’re reimagining blockchain infrastructure:
Builders need a system that grows with applications.
Canopy ditches the central chain model for a self-reinforcing, autoscaling mesh - each app runs on its own chain, secured by a network that strengthens with every new participant.
Independence is powerful, but it’s hard-earned.
We started from first principles and anchored Canopy in five non-negotiables:
1. Zero censorship
2. Security from Day 1
3. No L1 complexity
4. Economic alignment
5. Native interoperability
To make that possible, we built two products:
> The Canopy Stack: Launch apps as L1s with the ease of smart contracts
> The Canopy Network: A marketplace for peer-to-peer security
Together, they power a new kind of network:
→ Recursive infrastructure
→ Permissionless interoperability
→ App-aligned economics
Builders no longer have to choose between independence and connectivity. Canopy offers both.
At the heart of it all: Nested Chains
Built with Canopy, these apps don’t just receive security, they provide it. Mature chains seed new ones, making security a shared responsibility.
This flips the status quo and lets apps grow into ecosystems without ceilings.
We’re proudly bootstrapped and community-driven. Canopy Labs is fueled by builders, not VCs. We believe in grassroots innovation, open collaboration, and sustainable growth.
