The central bank delivers the pilot in a live field environment.
Delivery is managed by SODA, the vendor, other technology partners and other actors – banks, fintechs etc.
The test and deploy approach is not a proof-of-concept (POC), or a sandbox or a research project. It’s a pilot with a real CBDC (stablecoin or tokenised deposit) on the central bank’s balance sheet directly or indirectly.
