The Brazilian Blockchain Network and CBDC: searching for creating a Digital Public Infrastructure
Vanessa Almeida, Marie Anne Macadar · 2024
This manuscript presents an early research proposition about the opportunity of Blockchain to support the creation of a digital public infrastructure in a developing country. By studying the RBB (Brazilian Blockchain Network) and the DREX (Brazilian CBDC), we propose to create a design to integrate their networks at strategic and information systems levels. The interplay between these two case studies and the design proposal will result in the theorization around the main concepts of this research: Blockchain in Government, central bank digital currency (CBDC), and Digital Public Infrastructure.
