Summary

This proposal establishes a standardized operational risk operationalization framework for Canton-based infrastructure through ecosystem-facing monitoring methodologies, governance-aligned operational oversight workflows, and implementation guidance aligned with the GBBC Risk Mitigation Framework (RMF).

The initiative focuses on operational resilience visibility, Super Validator accountability, governance transparency, onboarding assessment workflows, and continuously monitored operational oversight methodologies for ecosystem participants operating on or evaluating Canton-based infrastructure.

Notes for Reviewers

SIG Alignment: regulatory-compliance

The proposal is designed as ecosystem-facing operational infrastructure and public-good operationalization guidance rather than application-specific tooling or protocol modifications.

The implementation operates exclusively as an external operational oversight layer atop existing Canton telemetry surfaces and does not modify protocol logic, governance structures, or validator operations.

@nikos-metrika, thank you for your interest in the Canton Development Fund!

Your proposal needs a valid Tech & Ops Committee champion organization. The champion field is either empty, contains placeholder text, or names an organization that is not a current Tech & Ops Committee member.

Per CIP-0100, all external proposals require a Tech & Ops Committee champion.

Next steps:

1. Identify a Tech & Ops Committee member organization willing to champion your proposal
2. Update the Champion field with their name
3. Reopen this PR

If you need help finding a champion, reach out to SIGs or any Tech & Ops Committee member.

This PR is being closed automatically. You are welcome to reopen it once a champion is confirmed.

Could you please provide some guidance on the correct process for adding the required labels (SIG, sponsor/champion) so the PR doesn’t automatically close? I noticed that in the main file, the SIG group and sponsor are already listed, so I wanted to make sure I’m following the expected process correctly.

Thanks for the response. Let us look at the bot configuration but in the meantime it should be in the right spot now.
