Development Fund Proposal Submission

Proposal file:
[proposals/cantonflow-visual-builder.md](proposals/cantonflow-visual-
builder.md)


Summary

This proposal requests funding for CantonFlow, a visual BPMN builder for
Canton that lets teams design workflows in a Camunda-compatible modeling
environment and compile them into Canton-native Daml applications. The project
aims to reduce the barrier to building multi-party workflows on Canton by
combining BPMN-based design, BPMN-to-Daml transpilation, deployment tooling,
and a constrained AI-assisted workflow drafting experience.


Checklist

  • Proposal file added under /proposals/
  • Milestones and funding amounts defined
  • Acceptance criteria included
  • Alignment with Canton priorities described

Notes for Reviewers

Please review the proposal as a deliberately scoped Phase 1 ecosystem tool
rather than a full enterprise workflow platform. The proposal explicitly
prioritizes transpiler correctness, CBP-v1 compliance, BPMN round-trip
compatibility, and LocalNet/DevNet deployment over broader BPMN semantics,
advanced analytics, and large-scope security audit work.

Incorporate insights from architectural deep research: two-layer
architecture framing, CBP-v1 profile with required/deferred elements,
7 canonical mapping rules, security/identity architecture, monorepo
layout, community vs enterprise mode, and strengthened acceptance criteria.
