#CBDCs #sandbox
The United States think tank, Digital Dollar Project (DDP), has launched a “technical sandbox” aimed at advancing the exploration of a potential United States central bank digital currency (CBDC) and its application of it including technological, business, and policy solutions for a digital dollar.
What is the project about?
The program will serve as a collaborative space for the DDP participants and financial service providers, offering a neutral environment for the evaluation of the technological, business, and policy approaches to CBDCs. Program participants will examine real-world technology, explore potential implications to business strategies and operations, and experiment to uncover possible use-case specific solutions.
Each cohort of the DDP Technical Sandbox Program will consist of two phases: an education phase and a pilot phase. Through the education phase of the Technical Sandbox Program, the DDP partners and participants will develop a business and functional understanding of the technology and evaluate the differences in possible design choices.
During the pilot phase, the DDP partners and participants will identify and test specific CBDC use-case hypotheses with the aim of gathering data on business-level impacts. The results gathered will be broadly shared and used to inform both private and public sector stakeholders on how advancing technical solutions can unlock business value in a transformative way.
