It also noted that future versions of the platform could be expanded to areas beyond CBDCs, such as bank-led tokenized deposit networks.<\/p>\n<h2>Smart contracts for TradFi<\/h2>\n<p>Specific use cases include trade payments, foreign exchange, delivery versus payment (DvP), and liquidity-saving mechanisms.<\/p>\n<p>SWIFT said its sandbox solution involves multiple digital ledger technology (DLT) networks. The company used <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/hyperledger\/\">Hyperledger<\/a> Besu for the tokenization platform. It used <a href=\"https:\/\/cryptoslate.com\/companies\/r3\/\">R3<\/a> Corda and Hyperledger Fabric for buyer and seller networks and settlement instructions.<\/p>\n<p>SWIFT also described atomic settlements and swaps, a blockchain or DLT-based approach to settlement involving the instant and simultaneous exchange of two assets. This type of settlement is similar to delivery versus payment (DVP) in traditional financial networks.<\/p>\n<p>The platform also used smart contracts to automatically ensure that payments were executed once conditions were met. All four of SWIFT's major use cases involved the use of smart contracts.<\/p>\n<h2>Largest test of its kind<\/h2>\n<p>SWIFT said its sandbox test involved 38 institutions over six months and called it &#8220;one of the largest known CBDC experiments to date&#8221; in this regard.<\/p>\n<p>It added that, in terms of network activity, over 125 sandbox users carried out more than 750 transactions in the process. About 60 representatives from participating financial institutions participated in 20 collaborative working group meetings to discuss use cases.<\/p>\n<p>The company plans to develop a production roadmap for the SWIFT connector but noted that progress will be based on &#8220;market developments and readiness.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The service could meet growing interest in CBDCs around the world. Countries with active CBDCs include China, the Bahamas, Jamaica, and Nigeria.
