The primary goal of the Digital Pound Foundation’s Use Case Working Group is to begin defining the universe of possible use cases and quickly progress to focussing on leading opportunities, which will be fully worked up with the intention for members to build actual demonstrations and proof-of-concept services. All of our work will be backed by the power of the DPF network, hosting sessions with regulators, banks and other stakeholders held as necessary.
- To enable Members to discuss and gather information regarding potential use cases for exploration, with external CBDC and new forms of digital money stakeholders invited as guests (as deemed appropriate)
- To identify and prioritise a broad variety of digital Pound use case possibilities that are of value and intelligible to UK citizens, and then to shortlist for a deeper dive into the detail
- To develop chosen use cases with a view on how to pilot or build proofs-of-concept, helping to facilitate introductions and collaboration opportunities between Members
- To showcase the use case work, expertise and learnings from sandbox/pilot environments with consideration to opportunities for further webinars, written output and private roundtable events
- To build on this initial phase by exploring wider use cases, with the potential to create sub-working groups as specific areas of focus and interest emerge (e.g. beyond retail)
