Description
Description | Project Agorá is a flagship cross border payments initiative by the Bank for International Settlements exploring how tokenization and programmable ledgers could overhaul the correspondent banking model. It involves seven central banks and over 40 financial institutions, aiming to address pain points in wholesale cross border payments such as speed, efficiency, transparency, and risk reduction. The project uses a two-layer architecture to keep central bank money under local control, separating tokenized commercial bank deposits on a shared ledger from tokenized central bank reserves on independent jurisdictional ledgers. |
