Digital Money Pilot

Definition

A Digital Money Pilot is an experimental program initiated by central banks or monetary authorities to test the practical implementation and functionality of a central bank digital currency (CBDC) or other forms of state-backed digital money. These pilots assess various aspects, including technological infrastructure, user experience, security protocols, and potential economic impacts. The trials help refine the design and operational models before a broader public release. They represent a cautious approach to financial innovation.
