Project Rosalind: building API prototypes for retail CBDC ecosystem innovation
16 June 2023
Bank for International Settlements
Project Rosalind is an experiment exploring application programming interfaces (APIs) for retail central bank digital currency (CBDC). The project is based on a two-tier model representing a public private partnership. At the centre of this architecture is an API layer, which connects public and private infrastructures. The API layer offers a set of standardised functionalities to enable different systems to interoperate. The project explored how central banks could address the need for a universal and extensible API layer for retail CBDC payments. Collaborating with the private sector, the project also explored what the building blocks of a CBDC ecosystem would be and how the APIs could support innovation.
