The Digital Dollar Foundation (known as public education as well as advocacy team) and Accenture (an infotech consultancy firm) are the platforms responsible for establishing the Digital Dollar Project.
In April, for testing CBDC infrastructure, the Depository Trust and Clearing Corporation (categorized among the biggest providers of financial services within the United States) took the Digital Dollar Project as its partner and released “Project Lithium.”
