but in short: central bank reserves are held in a segregated account and tokenized so that they can be used for settling transactions.

this is not commercial bank money.
this puts it in a different league from faux "stablecoins" which are backed by deposits in a commercial bank and therefore take on the credit risk of those smaller banks.

Breaking: yesterday the Stellar network went down for about 2 hours... only those who run validators noticed it.

no new transactions were added for ~2 hours.

dashboard.stellar.org
what basically happened was that a critical mass of nodes went down causing a cascading failure and so the entire network went down but because it isn't frequently used, few noticed.

this scenario was discussed in a new paper from @yongdaek et al. sites.google.com/view/stellar-a…
