Digital Currency has the potential to transform financial enterprises, says Sudheendra

UST has announced its role as an innovation vendor for Project Rosalind, an experiment in application programming interface (API) prototypes for central bank digital currencies (CBDC) from the Bank for International Settlements (BIS) and the Bank of England (BOE) via the BIS Innovation Hub London Centre.

Uniting leading innovators from their respective industries, Project Rosalind developed and tested prototypes for an application programming interface (API) specifically built to distribute retail CBDCs.

CBDCs have the potential to positively disrupt and drive innovation across several sectors. UST collaborated with the BIS and BoE on the development of the API layer as well as the exploration of a range of use cases for the CBDC ecosystem. A prototype API layer was developed for the project, featuring thirty-three API endpoints grouped into six functional categories.

More than 30 use cases identified and explored by public and private sector collaborators served as testing and validation for the architecture and features of the APIs.

The success of Project Rosalind proved that API layers can be used by central banks to safely distribute CBDC to consumers via private sector service providers while simultaneously enhancing privacy, accountability and convertibility.

UST played a pivotal role organizing the API development work, running innovation sessions as well as building a secure and functional API layer. UST also partnered with Quant, the blockchain for finance pioneer, to provide the underlying infrastructure and blockchain platform.

“The success of Project Rosalind with UST showcases how public-private collaboration and innovation can significantly accelerate time to market for solutions and result in tangible benefits for everyone,” said Krishna Sudheendra, Chief Executive Officer, UST.

“Digital Currency has the potential to transform financial enterprises and revolutionize the end-user experience,” he said on 27 June 2023.

“I’m proud of the work that we have done on this project and how it exemplifies our focus on transforming lives.”

Francesca Hopwood Road, Head of the BIS Innovation Hub London Centre, said, “The Rosalind experiment has advanced central bank innovation in two key areas: by exploring how an API layer could support a retail CBDC system and how it could facilitate safe and secure CBDC payments through a range of different use cases.” Fiinews.com
