CPM Registry

The CPM Registry is the primary discovery interface for Canton Network application packages, displaying an overview of all packages published on the CPM platform.


Core Functionality


Browse the Registry

Through the CPM registry, you can browse all published packages on the platform, including their details and actions to take:

  • The package name as a clickable hyperlink leading to the package detail page.

  • The package description (truncated) - the full description can be found on the package details page.

  • The current version displayed below the name.

  • The package access type (icon left of the package name): a padlock icon indicates a private package, while an open box/cube icon indicates a public package.

  • The publisher identity: a truncated party identifier string.

  • The favourite/ star icon that allows a user to receive updates and notifications related to this package.

  • The download icon that allows users to download the package.

  • The request acces (key) icon that allows a user to request access to a private package.

The CPM Registry can be searched and filtered by both package and publisher to help you locate packages quicker.

View Package Details

Clicking a package name from the registry opens the package detail page. This page displays:

  • Package name as the page heading.

  • Publisher with the full publisher party identifier string.

  • Version as the current latest version, accompanied by a Version History icon link.

  • Full Description.

  • Release Notes and Tags.

  • A Favourite (star) button in the top-right corner to add the package to your subscriptions

Download a Package

To download a package, click the Download icon located under the Actions column.

This redirects you to the Artifactory link hosted by CPM or by the publisher, and provides access to the package.

When downloading a package, you are automatically subscribed to receive update notifications for this package. You can manage your package subscriptions under the notifications tab.

View Package Version History

Accessible via the clock/history icon on a package detail page, the Version History view displays a table with columns:

  • Version (clickable link to a specific version detail)

  • File Type (e.g. "DAR")

  • Actions (a download icon for each version).

Clicking a version number within Version History shows the same detail layout as the package detail page (publisher, description, release notes, tags), anchored to that specific version.

Favourite (i.e. "Star") a Package

Favourite (i.e. star) a package to receive updates and email notifications for this package. You can manage your package subscriptions under the Notifications tab.

Request Access to a Private Package

Request Access to a private package by clicking on the Key icon for a package listed on the CPM Registry.

Once requested, the package publisher will be notified and can approve or deny your request. You will receive an email notification when your package has been approved.
