Next Tuesday (30), the Central Bank of Brazil (BC) will hold the seventh and final webinar of the series on the Brazilian digital currency called “O Real Digital”.
The free online event will take place from 11:30 am to 12:30 pm and will be broadcast on BC’s YouTube channel, in Portuguese and English.
The theme of this sixth webinar in the series will be “Technologies for Broadcasting and Compatibility with Existing Arrangements”. The closing of the series, which began in July, will be carried out by the President of the Central Bank, Roberto Campos Neto.
Technologies for emission and compatibility with existing arrangements
In the webinar “Technologies for Issuance and Compatibility with Existing Arrangements”, technological alternatives and existing models will be considered to assess both the interoperability of Real Digital with existing systems and the possibility of integration with international payment systems.
In addition, panelists will debate the ecosystem’s security and resilience to cyber attacks.
To debate the topic in question were invited: Matthieu Saint Olive, product manager at ConsenSys; Ricardo Correia, global head of digital currencies at R3; and Seidemann Wolfram, Executive Director of G+D Currency Technology.
The panel will be moderated by Aristides Andrade Cavalcante Neto. He is deputy head of the BC’s Information Technology Department.
The general public will be able to interact with the event through the YouTube chat and by e-mail real.digital@bcb.gov.br.
About the series “O Real Digital”
The first webinar in the series, held in July, was about the potential of Real in digital format. Then, in August, BC promoted an event on citizenship, data security, confidentiality and traceability.
The third event, in September, was about Offline Operations and the fourth, in the same month, addressed “Smart contracts, IoT and programmable money”.
The fifth episode, promoted in October, was about “Emission and Movement” and the sixth, in November, was about “International Integration”.
The initiative in question is part of BC’s work for the future issuance of a digital currency. As explained by the monetary authority, the objective is to debate with society the general guidelines of the digital currency in Brazil.
In addition, the series aims to present use cases that can benefit from the issuance of a digital Real. At the same time, it will address the most suitable technologies for its implementation.
