Solutions Architect - Central Bank Digital Currency
The Project
The Bank of Canada is embarking on a program of major social significance to design a contingent system for a central bank digital currency (CBDC), which can be thought of as a banknote, but in digital form. This project will require us to break new ground. It will take into consideration a wide variety of factors, including policy considerations, diverse stakeholder needs, difficult technical challenges and the development of a technical architecture to realize a CBDC pilot system.
The Challenges
We aim to design a CBDC with cash-like properties in digital form:
-
Private:While not aiming for cash-like anonymity, CBDC should be highly private yet meet the obligation to be compliant with anti-money laundering and other regulations.
*Universally accessible: Regardless of their circumstances, CBDC should be usable by all Canadians, even by those without a bank accountor access to a cellular phone, in remote communities not well served by cellular networks, and/or those with sensory, motor and cognitive impairments.
-
Resilient: CBDC should continue to work even during electrical power and network outages.
-
Secure: CBDC must have the highest levels of security so Canadians can use it with confidence, as they do our banknotes.

Of course you are not aiming for that, kek
