-<h1>2024-08: Enabling withdrawal of digital cash through third parties in GNU Taler</h1>
-<p>
-Striving to enhance the integration of GNU 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.
+<h1>Cashless to e-Cash: Enabling withdrawal of digital cash through third parties in GNU Taler</h1>
-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.
+<h2>Cashless to e-Cash</h2>
-Therefore the <a href="https://docs.taler.net/core/api-terminal.html">Terminals-API</a> is introduced as part of the bank-integration of GNU Taler.
+This thesis develops and implements a framework that allows for cashless withdrawals
+using GNU Taler, with the objective of increasing the easy onboarding and acceptance
+of GNU Taler as payment system. Currently, the GNU Taler payment system permits the
+withdrawal of digital cash using different means of payment. However, GNU Taler cur-
+rently lacks the possibility using cashless payment means such as credit cards to with-
+draw digital cash. To address this gap, this thesis introduces a novel component, called
+cashless2ecash (C2EC), which establishes a reliable connection between the Taler ecosys-
+tem and payment service provider’s terminals. The reference implementation estab-
+lishes the process between the payment service provider Wallee and the GNU Taler
+Exchange by implementing the new Terminals API in C2EC. The implemented process
+guarantees the finality of the transaction to the GNU Taler Exchange and the terminal
+operator. The finality enables the withdrawal of digital cash using GNU Taler with-
+out the use of cash. The liability for the transaction is borne by the payment service
+provider, which assumes the guarantees for the GNU Taler Exchange.
