📱 The Central Bank will consider the possibility of creating an application for the digital ruble. This idea was proposed to the regulator by the Association of Banks of Russia (ABR).
According to ABR experts, small and medium-sized banks are concerned about the cost of developing software for implementing the national currency into their systems, which is estimated at 85-150 million rubles, and is "disproportionate to the scale of their business".
The Central Bank expressed its readiness to provide participants in the digital ruble platform with specialized software for cryptographic operations free of charge.
