Highly Resilient Transaction Processing
Overview
This project aims to research and develop novel Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) platforms, methods, and tools targeting regulated tokenized asset management and accountable governance use cases, such as Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDC), tokenized deposits, securities, etc.
DLTs are well known for the high resilience, transparency, and programmability they bring to many use-cases, but recent trends and modern scenarios pose many additional complex technological challenges. For example, some retail CBDCs, require compliance with GDPR policies, quantum safety, and support for a throughput of multiple tens of thousands of transactions per second.
Our distributed systems and cryptography experts are working to enhance Hyperledger Fabric with innovative Byzantine Fault-Tolerant consensus and highly parallelizable transaction processing components.
