Iran is slowly preparing for the introduction of the digital rial

The Central Bank of Iran has completed a theoretical study of CBDC, the press center of the Institute of Monetary and Banking Research (MBRI) and the Bank of Iran (CBI) reports.

On February 20, the regulator announced plans to expand the scope of the project. But Tehran will not rush to create and implement a token secured by fiat in a 1:1 ratio.

After the research stage, testing will begin with the involvement of real users. The CBDC infrastructure will be based on blockchain, its users will be banks and individuals.

Applications for participation in the tests were submitted by 10 banks of the country. After the introduction of the digital rial, every Iranian bank will be able to open electronic wallets to customers for storing and transferring CBDC.

The project started in 2017. With its help, Tehran expects to increase the availability of financial services for the population and businesses.

💻 Blockchain developers are in great demand, despite the fall of the crypt

The aggravation of volatility in the digital asset market has led to a large—scale outflow of capital - both from cryptocurrencies and from blockchain projects. But the demand for specialists in decentralized technologies is growing.

According to DevSkiller, in 2022, the demand for blockchain programmers soared by 552%. Technology companies use this platform to evaluate the qualifications of a potential employee.

IT giants and banks are interested in blockchain as a tool for creating data storage and transmission services. Therefore, they are recruiting specialists who are able to put decentralized technologies into practice for deploying databases and applications.

Tokenization of tangible assets is one of the cutting—edge areas, so analysts predict the continued high demand for blockchain developers in 2023.
