# Getting Started

The Canton integration of CatalyX Blockchain Manager enables organisations to deploy, manage, and scale Canton Network infrastructure, validator nodes, and synchronizers as a turnkey, enterprise-grade platform. CAT-BM is a Kubernetes-native solution that provides high availability, enterprise security, GitOps-driven operations, and full lifecycle automation for Canton components.

IntellectEU has been providing node infrastructure on Canton since the public network's inception in July 2024, currently operating 2 Supervalidators (including the GSF multi-tenant Supervalidator) and approximately 15% of the network's Validators. IntellectEU sits on the Global Synchronizer Foundation Board and on its Technical, Legal, and Tokenomics Committees.
