The coordinator of the Real Digital project at the Central Bank, Fabio Araujo, said this Wednesday (10) that the Real Digital laboratory will start in September, with an expected duration of four months.
At the end of the process, the BC expects to have mature products and be able to start testing with its CBDC (central bank digital currency), possibly with limited values, groups and regions.
Originally, the digital real lab was scheduled to start at the end of March and end at the end of July, but the BC decided to suspend the schedule due to the servers strike, which started on April 1st and ended on July 5th.
In participation in Lift Day on March 22, the president of BC, Roberto Campos Neto, highlighted that the Lift Challenge laboratory, launched in November last year, involves nine projects focused on innovations related to BC studies for the launch of Real Digital.
The BC president also mentioned projects focused on solutions for inclusion and financial education through Open Finance, in addition to proposing new credit models using technologies such as Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence.
Lift also has innovative projects in rural credit, purchase and sale of assets using DLT technology, and the use of Artificial Intelligence to prevent fraud within Pix.
