@MIT is working with @quant_network on CBDC design, and with the @BostonFed on a Digital Dollar.

This new pilot is through the @NewYorkFed, but youโ€™d have to imagine the banks compare notes on projects of this magnitude.

@quant_network is a key member of @LACChain, and will be launching the Latin American Dollar in 2023.

The LATAM Dollar opens payment and remittance corridors between Latin America and the US, with @Citi acting as the backbone for the latter. twitter.com/i/web/status/1โ€ฆ

HSBC, the largest bank in Europe, recently partnered with @Oracle to digitize their entire banking infrastructure.

Oracle uses Overledger and $QNT for smart contract and digital asset interoperability.

Gilbert Verdian (Quant CEO) & Martin Hargreaves (CPO) both worked for @Vocalink, a subsidiary of Mastercard.

๐Ÿ”ฅ Martin was promoted 10x in 12 years and Gilbert won โ€˜CISO of the Yearโ€™ in 2017.

Their connections at Mastercard run deep. ๐Ÿค๐Ÿฝ ImageImage
In my opinion, with all of these players in the same room, itโ€™s logical to assume #Overledger will be discussed as a serious option in the design of a Digital Dollar. ๐Ÿ’ต

If selected, it will be monumental for $QNT, as itโ€™s required for all transactions on Overledger. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Addendum: Iโ€™ve been linked to a more detailed article that says the pilot will use SETL, DAML and SWIFT for interoperability.

I still believe Overledger will be discussed as an option in connecting this system with other CBDCs globally to create a network of networks. Image

๐ŸŽฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ NEW $QNT VIDEO!

Speaking in front of the @ietf, @quant_network CPO Martin Hargreaves confirmed an implementation of Overledger + SATP API Gateways finished ๐Ÿ‘๐ซ๐ ๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ ๐จ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐ŸŽ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐›๐ฆ๐ข๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ at the latest #SWIFT hackathon! ๐Ÿš€

A thread ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ
Youโ€™ll notice Martin says โ€œwe were joint third with NatWest.โ€

Itโ€™s unclear if that means they tied NatWest for 3rd place, or there was a joint effort between the two.

The latter would further link $QNT to @fnality, as NatWest was an integral part of their 2022 cross-chain PoC. Image
The @ietf meeting overall was extremely bullish for the future of SATP (formerly ODAP).

Attendees agreed โ€˜digital asset transfer standardsโ€™ are a problem worth solving, then voted whether the @ietf was the right place to solve them.

The unofficial vote was 35-3 in favor of Yes!

โš”๏ธ๐Ÿ”ฅ Official documents from @Oracle reveal $QNT will be integrated across TEN (10) MULTI-TRILLION DOLLAR sectors.

Oracle produced a slide deck unveiling the scope of their enterprise blockchain platform, which relies on Quantโ€™s #Overledger for interoperability.

A thread ๐Ÿงต๐Ÿ‘‡๐Ÿผ Image
@Oracle is a massive organization with 430,000+ clients, generating $44B revenue in the last 12M alone. ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Their cloud infrastructure, OCI, is the fastest-growing cloud platform in the world.

โšก๏ธ In fact, @Gartner_inc suggests OCI may eventually pass @Google, @AWS & @Microsoft. ImageImageImage
โš”๏ธ Since 2018, @Oracle has onboarded thousands of enterprise clients onto the OCI Blockchain Platform (OBP).

These companies use OBPโ€™s low-code โ€˜Blockchain App Builderโ€™ to assist with rapid development, testing and deployment of smart contracts across different DLT networks. ๐Ÿ’ป ImageImage

๐Ÿ”ฅ๐ŸŽค It was at this same event in 2019 that $QNT co-marketed Overledger with @Oracle as part of the @OracleStartup program.

@quant_network has of course gone on to become the preferred DLT interoperability solution for @ORCLBlockchain and its customers. Image
