Bank of Israel Deputy Governor Andrew Abir said, “I am pleased at the tremendous response to the Digital Shekel Challenge, and I thank the teams that have agreed to provide their time, resources, and capabilities to actively cooperate with us in the thinking, planning, and design of the digital shekel.” He added:
<blockquote>
 “We have learned quite a lot from the process thus far in building the Challenge and in discussions with the teams that have shown interest, and I am certain that we will learn much more from the case uses that will be developed by the selected participants. The digital shekel’s potential to create innovation in the payments array will depend on the private sector’s ability to leverage the platform that the Bank of Israel will build, which is what makes this Challenge so important.”

<a href="https://coti.io/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">COTI’s</a> engagement in this project highlights the importance of privacy and security in CBDC development. As the sole blockchain network chosen for this endeavor, COTI puts its experience at the forefront, with a focus on architectural considerations and advanced functionality.
The company’s privacy-focused Layer 2 (L2) blockchain makes use of cutting-edge technology, such as <a href="https://medium.com/cotinetwork/garbled-circuits-on-the-blockchain-for-the-very-first-time-4c4231337f4d" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">garbled circuits</a>, to provide users with unprecedented levels of anonymity and secrecy. This technique not only improves the security of CBDCs but also lowers operational expenses as compared to existing privacy solutions, making it accessible across several devices.
The relationship with the Bank of Israel provides a unique opportunity for COTI to test and enhance its <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/tag/cbdc" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">CBDC</a> solutions. As more central banks consider the use of CBDCs, COTI is at the vanguard, ready to fulfill the growing demand for dependable and scalable <a style="color: #008000;" href="https://www.crypto-news-flash.com/tag/blockchain" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">blockchain</a> infrastructure.
The company’s technology claims to transform the CBDC scene by providing confidentiality without anonymity. This ensures that organizations, businesses, and individuals can conduct financial transactions in a secret manner while conforming to regulatory guidelines.
As central banks throughout the world continue to assess the possibilities of CBDCs, the challenge of combining transparency and privacy remains critical to user acceptance. COTI’s creative solutions establish it as a pioneer in tackling these issues, paving the path for the future of digital currencies.
