+<h1>Book chapter on Taler as sCBDC technology published</h1>
+<br/>
+<p>The recently published Springer book "Tokenisation of Money: From Fiat Currencies to Stablecoins" includes the chapter "Taler as a synthetic Central Bank Digital Currency" by Christian Grothoff, Mikolai Gütschow and Valentin Seehausen.
+It discusses the potentials and benefits of GNU Taler as a technological enabler for privately issued CBDCs.</p>
+
+<p>The chapter is published as <a href="https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-22946-5_9">DOI 10.1007/978-3-032-22946-5_9</a> and the author's preprint is available <a href="/papers/euro-bearer-online-2021.pdf">here</a>. The abstract reads as follows:</p>
+
+<p style="margin: 2em;">
+A synthetic Central Bank Digital Currency (sCBDC) is a privately issued
+payment instrument fully backed by central bank liabilities. GNU Taler is
+a token-based digital payment system that offers a range of unique features
+to its users, pairing ease-of-use with payment privacy and informational self-
+determination. As it is Free Software, any retail bank can easily adopt the
+technology to create an sCBDC, benefitting from its unique features and low
+operational costs, while receiving risk-free interest rates from central bank
+reserves. Our work introduces the concept and contrasts it with related payment
+instruments.
