description: "Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset, highlights that many smart contract blockchains do not have sufficient activity or revenue to support their high valuations. The Canton blockchain addresses this by burning tokens with each transaction and distributing issuance to applications that generate fees, thereby linking value to actual usage. Rooz believes that stablecoins will achieve real product-market fit only when more than half of their usage is not related to crypto trading."

# Canton’s Yuval Rooz says smart contract blockchains face a reckoning over value gap

-   Yuval Rooz, CEO of Digital Asset, the company behind the Canton blockchain, says most smart contract networks lack the activity and revenue to justify multibillion-dollar valuations.
-   Canton burns tokens with every transaction and distributes issuance to fee-generating apps, aiming to tie value to usage.
-   Rooz argues stablecoins will only have true product-market fit when over half of usage is unrelated to crypto trading.
