2016-06: GNU Taler 0.0.0 released

+

+ We have reached our first big milestone, the 0.0.0 release! + The release includes implementations of a bank, exchange, merchant and wallet + and is available on the GNU FTP mirrors. +

+

+ While the exchange implements the + complete protocol, the implementations of merchant and wallet are both + fundamentally incomplete and still lack key features, including important + error handling. GNU Taler still lacks an implementation of an auditor or + logic for integration with "real" banks. + Thus, this release should not yet be used for actual financial + transactions. +

+

+ That said, you can already setup your own functional payment system + and run your own toy currency -- or just try out the demo using + the Chrome/Chromium browser at demo.taler.net. +

+

+ Please provide feedback to our bug tracker. + There, you can also find our roadmap + which contains a list of known open issues and our plans for the near future. +

2021-2: "How to issue a Central Bank Digital Currency" published

+

+We are happy to announce the publication of our paper on "How to Issue a Central Bank Digital Currency" by the Swiss National Bank. +

+

+With the emergence of Bitcoin and recently proposed stablecoins from BigTechs, such as Diem (formerly Libra), central banks face a choice of either leaving the field to private actors or offering their own digital alternative to physical cash. We do not address whether a central bank should issue a central bank digital currency (CBDC). Instead, we demonstrate how a central bank could do so, if desired or needed. We propose a token-based system without distributed ledger technology and show how earlier-deployed, software-only electronic cash can be improved upon to preserve transaction privacy, meet regulatory requirements in a compelling way, and offer a level of quantum-resistant protection against systemic privacy risk. Neither monetary policy nor financial stability would be materially affected because our CBDC would replicate physical cash rather than bank deposits. +

2021-2: Helping the European Commission

+

+In December 2020 the European Parliament asked the European Commission +about the suitability of GNU Taler to establish a digital Euro in a +small inquiry. +In the official answer, +the commission mostly asserts that it is unable "to assess the functioning of the GNU Taler payment system", +and points to a maximum transaction limit of 150 EUR, without really answering +the questions raised by the inquiry. +

+ +

+To assist the European Union with regards to the inquiry, we point +out that the operation of GNU Taler is completely and transparently +made public at https://taler.net/, +so if the European Commission is, like anyone else, in position to assess the +functioning of the GNU Taler payment system. We recently also described +details of how the system would function for an E-Euro in a +working paper +with the Swiss National Bank. Based on our publicly available documentation, +Prof. Birchler, a previous member of the directorate of the Swiss National Bank, +publicly +commented that our approach is the best published proposal for digital cash. +

+ +

With respect to EU policy objectives, we would like to point out that the +150 EUR limit postulated by the European Commission for private payments is +very low, and in our view incompatible with the data protection objectives of +the European Union. We want to stress that with GNU Taler, only the citizen +making the payment can remain anonymous. Thus, Taler is not suitable for money +laundering or illegal business activities as receivers of payments are easily +identified. A recent broad +consultation by the European Central Bank showed that the European +population demands privacy compareable to physical cash when it comes to the +Digital Euro. With cash, the transaction limit is at 10,000 EUR. Thus, were +the 150 EUR limit apply truly to all forms of privacy-friendly electronic +cash, this would be a key point where the European Union should provide for more +citizen-friendly regulation, especially for technical solutions that include +security features that adequately minimize the risk of citizens suffering +financial losses. +

+ +

+Finally, we would like to stress that the GNU Taler project is open to +a cooperation with the European Central Bank, and is happy to answer +questions from specialists of the European Parliament or the European +Commission. +

2021-3: "Why a Digital Euro should be Online-first and Bearer-based +" published

+

+We are happy to announce the publication of our paper on "Why a Digital Euro should be Online-first and Bearer-based". +

+

+The European Central Bank’s “Report on a Digital Euro” considers +two distinct types of designs for a digital euro. It argues that all functional +requirements laid out in the report can be fulfilled by operating the two systems +in parallel: +

+The report does not discuss other choices of hybrid systems. However, the +choice is more arbitrary than it might seem at first sight: bearer-based systems +are not necessarily offline payment systems, and online payment systems do not +need to exclude anonymity. +

+

+We argue that operating a bearer-based payment system to complement an +account-based CBDC in order to gain offline and privacy features is not a good +trade-off. Adding permanent, regular offline capabilities via the bearer-based +payment instrument constantly exposes the CBDC to the severe issues inherent +in offline-capable payment systems. Instead, the offline mode of operation +should be restricted to scenarios where it is actually required, which mitigates +the risks. +
