DCash is one of the oldest CBDC projects still going. Now it plans to integrate settlements into the DCash system.
The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) has issued a request for vendor information (RFVI) in its discovery process for the launch of a retail central bank digital currency (CBDC) that it is calling DCash 2.0.
The ECCB is looking for “input from parties which have developed a retail CBDC solution or core components of such a solution which is deployment-ready.” It listed wallet providers, core banking systems, identity managers, business intelligence and offline payment providers among the systems that may be integrated with the current DCash system.
The current version of DCash was developed by Bitt, a software developer located in Barbados. According to its website, Bitt also has projects in Ukraine, Belize and Nigeria. In February, the Central Bank of Nigeria announced it was in talks with a new technology provider for its eNaira.
