Central Bank Digital Currency
Persistent WCBDC, RCBDC : For white-labeling and exploration.
Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a centralized digital fiat currency issued and maintained by a monetary authority or central bank. For effective distribution and accessibility, CBDC uses the DLT platform, which also reduces the settlement risk in delivery versus payment. The CBDC platform is to be designed DLT agnostic with REST APIs, and adapters to communicate with the DLT platform of choice.
The CBDC platform offers scalable retail payments having bidirectionally operable CBDCs with distributed ledger for Govt digital services where central bank node is the issuer and a secondary DLT network is run by commercial banks.
CBDC wallets are to be accessible via webapps, android and iOS apps and are linked using the national identifier. Secondary wallets can be run by commercial banks and other operators, which are also supported to offer various features and other retail use cases.
