Basic principles of central bank digital currency

1. It is very clear in the speech of the central bank that the digital currency is M0. What is M0? M0 is cash. We speculate that the basic framework for the central bank to issue digital currency in the future should be a two-tier structure. The core is the database of the central bank, and the periphery is the blockchain of different instries, regions and third parties. Why? Only by using a decentralized system in the second layer can you ensure that the money is controlled by the users themselves and that the digital currency really becomes M0
we speculate that once the central bank issues digital currency in the future, the periphery of the structure must be a decentralized system. At present, blockchain is the best choice
when talking about digital currency, the central bank also mentioned another concept, which is called programmable currency. How to understand? For the computer, it has a certain internal self-control function. Take the early object-oriented language as an example, it requires at least two functions, one is the constructor, the other is the destructor. You have to solve the problem of its creation as well as its extinction
through programming, the central bank can control the whole life cycle of money creation, circulation and withdrawal
in the absence of digital currency and programmable currency, the currency issued by the central bank circulates freely in the society. How to return to the cage in the end? One is the return of derivative currency of commercial banks, the other is the return of basic currency of central bank. The former is controlled by the central bank through deposit reserve and other policies, while the latter is controlled by the tax system. If we go up to programmable digital currency in the future, the central bank will have much more control. Even in circulation, control can be increased. That's why central banks are very interested in blockchain technology.

2. The central bank's digital currency is the legal digital currency approved by the State Council. The central bank organizes market institutions to engage in the corresponding work of the central bank's digital currency research and development
