Universal Digital Payments Network
The Universal Digital Payments Network (UDPN) is a standardized common messaging infrastructure[1] that connects digital currency systems for digital payments and interoperability of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) and regulated stablecoins.[2][3]
The UDPN is a permissioned network and operates as a co-governed platform that does not directly serve end-users.[4]
History
In January 2023, during the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, the UDPN was announced together by German listed company GFT Technologies [de], DLT Piper's digital branch TOKO, and decentralized cloud infrastructure Red Date Technology.[5][6]
In October 2023, Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered's SC Ventures completed real-time on-chain transfer and swap between USDC and EURS stablecoins on the UDPN.[7] This POC brought SV Ventures to win the SBR Technology Excellence Awards 2024 – Financial Technology category.[8]
In December 2023, SC Ventures by Standard Chartered Bank and Giesecke+Devrient completed PoC#10 on the UDPN, executing real-time cross-border CBDC transactions between DLT and non-DLT representations of currency.[9] This solution was shortlisted as a finalist at the G20 TechSprint 2023.[10]
In March 2024, the UDPN opened its sandbox for banks to test their CBDCs and digital currencies.[11]
In June 2024, the UDPN launched tokenized deposit/stablecoin management system and digital asset tokenization system.[12]
