CNTN posts first Canton Network revenue as SV weight unlocks through 2028

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The company booked its first operating revenue (LaaS + SV) and announced an SV weight expansion to 15, with a defined unlock path to 2028. This creates near-term cash-flow visibility and upside optionality from the SV-weight ramp. The Gravitas sale enhances liquidity and reduces non-core exposure, while the stock repurchase authorization signals capital-return intent, potentially providing a floor for the shares. However, the magnitude of revenue and the ongoing net loss, plus CC price sensitivity, warrant cautious upside assessment.
