Show Notes
Boa tarde pessoal!
The Brazilian Central Bank announced its Digital Real pilot on March 6, marking a milestone in the CBDC’s development. I asked Gustavo Cunha to come on the show to help us understand the state of the project and its roadmap. Gustavo has a wealth of knowledge in the realm of stablecoins and central bank digital currencies, and was a great resource to help me understand what makes the Digital Real unique and innovative.

Gustavo Cunha is a Brazilian financial services veteran turned crypto enthusiast, podcaster and writer. In this episode we discuss the Brazilian Central Bank's efforts to develop a central bank digital currency (CBDC) called the Digital Real. We discuss:
* the Digital Real pilot announced on March 6
* the Bank's decision to use Hyperledger Besu for the Digital Real's underlying infrastructure
* the goal of the Digital Real serving as infrastructure for a tokenized financial system in Brazil
* how the Digital Real stacks up against other CBDC projects around the world
* the difference between Pix and the Digital Real, and how the two will interact with one another once fully operative
* plans for the Digital Real to be Ethereum Virtual Machine compatible and eventually incorporate new developments from the public blockchain world
For Portuguese readers I recommend taking a look at his recent column in InfoMoney on the subject.
