Last week, Kodelab had the honour of being invited to participate in a constructive roundtable hosted by the Bank of England (BoE) and the Digital Pound Foundation (DPF) . The dialogue centred on the application of public permissionless blockchain within stablecoin systems. The objective was to explore solutions to critical issues, including governance , settlement finality , operational resilience and cybersecurity , due to the permissionless nature. The discussion was both engaging and dynamic, with all participants contributing their expertise to advance the application of public permissionless blockchain.
Sincere thanks to Lee Schneider and Avalanche for inviting Kodelab to a networking dinner following this productive roundtable. All participants continued their discussions and exchanged ideas on the development of digital currency and blockchain technology in general.

The CBRC Score of 82 has been awarded: ” Real estate equity release is a complex task today, and this solution would make it significantly more accessible for people to be able to: 1) Access the equity from their property (most people cannot do that now) 2) Access a “fraction of the equity” 3) Do it at speed 4) Do it at low cost 5) Use a Digital Currency as the output to invest quickly and safely elsewhere.
Once the property is tokenized, this needs confirming to the bank who will release the Digital currency against the equity. The details then need to be updated with all interested parties and regulators.
Using Blockchain Technology for these tasks will help ensure “one view of the truth”, speed up the equity release process and provide an immutable record of the steps in the process
With the Kodelab TALOC (Home equity line of credit) solution, End-users can drawdown and repay any amount of CBDC/stablecoin up to a certain LTV (Loan To Value), at their discretion, simplifying and making more accessible the ‘revolving credit facility’, over the standard fixed-term loan. Credit-created funds can hugely increase the liquidity within any payments ecosystem.

The Deposit Problem, Faith and Lending Impacts
In 2012, the Isle of Man Treasury issued a crown coin featuring the portrait of Juno Moneta, a Roman goddess, next to whose temple, the Roman silver mint was constructed and produced coins stamped with her image from 273 BC onwards¹. The role of temples in storing wealth across Rome and the perceived guardianship by Moneta remind of the element of faith underpinning fiat currencies, which modern central banks must maintain, as well as the institutional arrangements for currency issuance and payment systems operations.
In the context of cryptocurrencies and CBDCs — such concerns have occupied much of the commentary. One of the core challenges for central bankers has been how to address the perceptions of faith which they consider introduced CBDCs will have and the effect on other banking instruments.
Put shortly, academics have directed much of their focus to the “Deposit Problem” — that perceptions of stability and the risk-free nature of arrangements underpinning CBDCs mean citizens will switch some of their holdings from current fiat-currency accounts with existing banks into accounts denominated in CBDC. A potentially significant reduction of deposits held by commercial banks would lead to reductions in the amount of lending (as the bank’s capital reserves shall also be reduced) and/or increased costs of capital and lending, unless banks took on additional wholesale funding or other measures.
The Deposit Problem (with its impacts on financial stability and lending activity) along with privacy concerns, have proved key sticking points for the analysis of CBDCs.
Two tier CBDC model and the importance of RTGS
Other proposed models of introducing CBDCs and digital currency generally, suggest ways around the Deposit Problem.
It is worth introducing a distinction between two types of CBDC depending on use/distribution — retail CBDC (which is issued to consumers as a payment instrument) and wholesale CBDC (which is issued to financial institutions as a settlement instrument). While under both types the CBDC issuance generates a liability of the Central Bank, there are big differences in the distributional effects between the two models (including, as mentioned above, the Deposit Problem for retail CBDCs). In contrast to retail CBDCs, the distributional effects of introducing wholesale CBDCs are often considered to be relatively minimal (since they involve switching balances from reserves)².
Models of CBDC issuance which incorporate elements of both retail and wholesale distribution (and different roles for the banking sector), called ”two tier models” have been considered by researchers, including the Bank of International Settlements (BIS). In a study with the Hong Kong Monetary Authority in 2022 (Project Aurum)³, the BIS considered four models of implementing CBDCs into the Hong Kong banking system (the first three were developed by Auer and Böhme⁴)

The word "Avatar" comes from the Sanskrit "Avatāra", which in Hinduism refers to the incarnation of a deity on earth. In the film "Avatar", humans use technology to create "Avatars", i.e., shells of alien life forms, allowing human consciousness to "descend" into these shells for communication and exploration. Hence, ATM chose the name Avatar because this project essentially allows users to create a new digital life and "descend" their consciousness, or any consciousness they wish to create, into this new digital life, letting it assist or even replace them in communicating and exploring the new AGI world. An avatar is an extension and enhancement of a user's consciousness. It can become who the user wants to be, more efficient, energetic, and intelligent than the user's brain, yet ultimately capable of integrating perfectly with the user's brain. It's akin to our brains having a left and right hemisphere, which, without the interconnecting corpus callosum, could host two separate consciousnesses. Through constant information synchronisation with the Avatar, we can consider it our second brain, or even part of our brain. Our brains are composed of countless neurons and their connections, without a defined core or boundary. Therefore, seeing the Avatar as an extension, a part of the brain, will be a very natural concept in the new AGI world.
Avatars can also have human faces and voices. In the early versions, users only need to upload a picture to generate their digital human image and a piece of voice data to teach the Avatar their voice. In subsequent versions, we will continuously upgrade, collecting more of the user's appearance, expression, and voice data, making the Avatar's representation increasingly human-like. Given the current pace of AGI development, the possibility of upgrading the Avatar to the physical body level depicted in the film "Avatar" within a few years is not unimaginable. The Avatar itself will also interact with the user's social network and strangers, and the content of these interactions will serve as data support for the Avatar's learning and evolution, regularly reported and feedback to the user. This mutual influence is not only the user changing the Avatar but also the Avatar influencing the user. It is a new kind of sublimation, a sublimation where the user and the Avatar evolve together.
