ECB Selects COTI as Leading Collaborator in Digital Euro Initiative
The digital euro project march forward, with the European Central Bank (ECB) recently announcing that blockchain platform COTI has joined as a Pioneer Partner. This collaboration aims to develop a solution for a euro-wide central bank digital currency (CBDC).
According to the press release, both parties will collaborate with other organizations to create a secure, fast, and even private payment system across the European Union. COTI's expertise in privacy solutions could be a game-changer in the CBDC realm, making digital transactions as secure as cash.
The ECB's Digital Euro project seeks to complement cash and traditional payment methods, ensuring seamless, secure payments across the region's economy. COTI's technology could help make this vision a reality.
COTI CEO and co-founder, Shahaf Bar-Geffen, expressed excitement about the partnership, emphasizing the importance of privacy in the evolving digital landscape. "Privacy is vital for the future of Web3, and it's important that confidentiality is built into the core of these new systems," said Bar-Geffen.
As a Pioneer Partner, COTI will leverage the ECB's infrastructure to test its privacy solution for conditional payments, ensuring asset provenance can be verified without compromising user privacy. This privacy-focused approach is critical for a CBDC system, as it helps maintain the confidentiality promised by traditional cash transactions.
COTI's relationship with the Bank of Israel's Digital Shekel provides a solid foundation for its work with the ECB. Last year, COTI developed a proof-of-concept for confidential, trustless cross-border transactions using garbled circuits.
