+<h1>2024-08: Enabling withdrawal of digital cash through third parties in GNU Taler</h1>
+<p>
+Striving to enhance the integration of Taler into the existing world of payments, the bachelor thesis 
+"cashless2ecash" realizes a framework to integrate into existing means of payment to allow the 
+withdrawal of digital cash in GNU Taler.
+
+This addresses a report commissioned by the European Central Bank (ECB), which identified the universal 
+acceptance as one of the most important aspects of a digital euro. This will therefore lead to better 
+acceptance of GNU Taler by better integrating its ecosystem into the existing systems.
+
+Therefore the <a href="">Terminals-API</a> is introduced as part of the bank-integration of GNU Taler.
+
+The thesis with further explanations and link to the report can be found at the 
+<a href="https://git.taler.net/cashless2ecash.git/plain/docs/thesis.pdf">cashless2ecash git repository</a>
