Professor Katrin Tinn proposes unique design for digital currency

Professor Katrin Tinn recently teamed up with Professor Christophe Dubach from the Faculty of Engineering to propose a new design for the Bank of Canada’s digital currency. By protecting the identity and transactions of individual spenders, their design would address ongoing privacy and compliance concerns with Central Bank digital currency (CBDC).

Tinn’s proposal placed in the top three at the Model X Challenge, a North American competition that seeks innovative design and business models for CBDC.
