We are excited to announce the addition of Chavanette Advisors to the Digital Pound Foundation as Associate Members. Chavanette is a recognised thought leader in Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs), regulated stablecoins, and Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI).

Chavanette collaborates closely with Central Banks, monetary authorities, commercial banks and private organisations to design, implement, and drive the adoption of CBDCs and regulated stablecoins. Their CBDC NOW approach, ensures that key design, technology, and policy decisions are made to support a successful transition to the digital economy. Chavanette has also published the CBDC NOW Handbook and Encyclopedia, which is being recommended as essential reading in higher education programmes.

Alexander Feenie, Managing Partner, Chavanette Advisors, said: “The Chavanette team is thrilled to have joined the Digital Pound Foundation. Our Alpha Knowledge Platform (⍺LP) and GALACTIC GRID CBDC Technology Assessment Framework are essential tools for central bank researchers, technologists and decision makers, looking to navigate core CBDC topics and the complex technology landscape. We hope that these important CBDC research innovations will add value to the DPF and its membership, and continue to smoothen the path to successful CBDC deployment and adoption.”

David Rennie, Privacy and Identity Working Group Lead, Digital Pound Foundation added: “Privacy and identity are amongst the most sensitive design aspects of a CBDC. I am delighted that Chavanette Advisers will be members of the DPF. We will benefit from their invaluable experience of the decision making processes in other parts of the world and the implication those decisions would have on a digital Pound.”

About the Foundation

Whilst most CBDC experiments have involved private sector technology providers, the overwhelming majority of these experiments, to date, have not involved participation from other private sector actors. The Digital Pound Foundation is unique in proposing a model whereby the public and private sectors can fully engage in the design, development and adoption of a digital Pound, thus contributing to its successful roll-out and helping drive forward the UK’s transition to a digital economy.
