Enhanced financial inclusion for unbanked persons and businesses by granting them greater access to financial services.
Security and privacy are provided by modern technologies at the “genetic” level.
Transparency and traceability for better control of monetary policy and reduction of illicit activities.
Driver for payment innovations and innovators, competition and integration with other emerging technologies.
Depending on the basic use cases and chosen distribution model there are several types and different combinations of CBDC:

How it works

Step 1. Research, design and testing
Step 2. Implementation
Step 3. Scale-up
The first step is to determine the CBDC model, functions, features and underlying technology. Use DCM’s Sandbox facilitates pre-project stage and allows testing of basic processes with CBDC, control and reporting tools as well as interoperability and interaction with existing software.
Iterative implementation of selective use cases and products, gradual launching of participants and partners, studying feedback from the target market and market niches. Modularity of DCM Platform allows to prioritize 1-2 key use cases and niche segments to create the best experience for merchants and customers to build trust and best practices.
Monitoring of market adoption and implicit preferences, clarification of needs.   The openness and interoperability of DCM Platform make it possible to launch partners and leverage existing payment infrastructure to accelerate scale-up.

Network Resilience
Open Network allows privacy to be set up using embedded features or enables external services to combine public sector transparency and confidentiality where necessary.
Programmability
Programmability provides connected and executed transactions using various conditions: embedded network features as well as external tools for smart contracts.
Financial Inclusion
Various innovative services enable unbanked customers and give them access to digital services and channels.
