TechFlow news — On August 19, the Official Monetary and Financial Institutions Forum (OMFIF) will host a专题 meeting titled "Central Bank Digital Currencies and Blockchain: Exploring New Technology Solutions," discussing how blockchain can benefit central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and exploring design choices of distributed ledger technology (DLT), the use of smart contracts or "programmable money," and interoperability across cross-border blockchain networks.
According to official information, officials from more than thirty central banks worldwide will attend the event. Speakers include senior executives from the Swiss National Bank, the Bank of England, the Hungarian National Bank, De Nederlandsche Bank, and the founder of Cypherium, a hybrid consensus blockchain platform.

Cypherium is a highly scalable, permissionless hybrid-consensus blockchain platform based on proof-of-work and Byzantine fault tolerance, designed to meet enterprise-grade performance requirements and provide technical solutions for central bank digital currency issuance. It is a member of the US Faster Payments Council under the Federal Reserve.
