The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) released a colorful and fact-filled Project mBridge update on Oct. 31. The publication combines technical and promotional discussions in a shift of tone as the project prepares to become a minimum viable project for commercial launch next year.
The update gathers a significant amount of information about the central bank digital currency (CBDC) bridge that had been scattered or completely unavailable until now. The governance structure is explained in general terms, and technical details are slipped into the text at a level of readability that makes it accessible to non-specialists.
