June 23, 2022
Belgium-based SettleMint, US-based Corda Technologies and IBM would provide technology support for the project driven by the Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) Innovation Hub in Bangalore, three people familiar with the matter told ET. Axis Bank, Bank of Baroda and Union Bank of India are also involved.
The pilot project, called ‘proof of concept’ in industry parlance, will harness blockchain technology where ‘blocks’ of transaction data are stored in ‘chains’ with peer-to-peer access to enhance traceability of money flow.
Different technology providers are engaging with select individual banks under the stewardship of the RBI.
“This is to assess how blockchain can facilitate and secure our banking system,” said one of the persons cited above.
