Project Polaris, led by the BIS Innovation Hub Nordic Centre, aims to develop secure and resilient systems for central bank digital currencies (CBDCs). The project focuses on both online and offline CBDC systems and provides central banks with the necessary information for decision-making, architecture, design, implementation planning, and investments. It also addresses long-term change and operational considerations. The Polaris workstream roadmap includes several key components, such as a handbook for offline payments with CBDC, a security and resilience framework for CBDC systems, closing the CBDC cyber-threat modelling gaps, and a high-level design guide for offline payment. Each component is accompanied by a specific release date ranging from May to October 2023.
