Project Agorá – Tokenisation of Wholesale Central Bank Money


Project Agorá, launched by the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), a group of leading central banks and the Institute of International Finance (IIF), is inviting the private sector to join its exploration of how tokenisation can enhance the functioning of the monetary system.

The BIS and the IIF selected a diverse set of firms from applicants that met the eligibility requirements and other criteria laid out in the public call for participation. Smart contracts can enable new ways of settlement and unlock types of transactions that are not viable or practical today, in turn offering new opportunities to benefit businesses and people. BIS Innovation Hub projects are experimental in nature and aim to explore and deliver public goods to the global central banking community.
