extended data:

practical significance

the digitalization of central bank's currency helps to optimize the central bank's monetary payment function, improve the central bank's monetary status and the effectiveness of monetary policy. The central bank's digital currency can become an interest bearing asset to meet the holder's reserve demand for safe assets, and can also become the lower limit of bank deposit interest rate

can also become a new monetary policy tool. At the same time, the central bank can affect the bank's deposit and loan interest rate by adjusting the central bank's digital currency interest rate, and help break the zero interest rate lower limit

operation system

fan Yifei, vice governor of the people's Bank of China, said in the article that the digital currency of the people's Bank of China should adopt a two-tier operation system. This model does not change the relationship between creditor's rights and debt of currency in circulation, does not change the existing money supply system and al account structure, does not constitute a competition for commercial banks' deposit currency, and does not increase commercial banks' dependence on the interbank lending market

will not affect the lending ability of commercial banks, and will not lead to the phenomenon of "financial disintermediation". At the same time, because it does not affect the existing monetary policy transmission mechanism, it will not strengthen the pro cyclical effect under the pressure environment, and it can improve the convenience and security of payment, and it also has the credit advantage of central bank endorsement

2. "Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency, which can be used for real goods and services transactions. Digital currency has the main characteristics of network packets. This kind of data package is composed of data code and identification code. The data code is the content to be transmitted, while the identification code indicates where the data package comes from and goes
definition of digital currency:

the alternative currency in the form of electronic currency belongs to digiccy
digital currency is a kind of unregulated and digital currency, which is usually issued and managed by developers and accepted and used by members of specific virtual communities. The European Banking authority defines virtual currency as the digital expression of value, which is not issued by the central bank or authorities, nor linked with legal currency, but because it is accepted by the public, it can be used as a means of payment, and can also be transferred, stored or traded electronically
digital currency can be considered as a virtual currency based on node network and digital encryption algorithm

the core characteristics of digital currency are mainly reflected in three aspects: first, e to some open algorithms, digital currency has no issuing subject, so no one or institution can control its issuing; ② Because the number of algorithm solutions is fixed, the total amount of digital currency is fixed, which fundamentally eliminates the possibility of inflation caused by the overuse of virtual currency; ③ Because the transaction process needs the approval of each node in the network, the transaction process of digital currency is safe enough

the emergence of bitcoin poses a great challenge to the existing monetary system. Although it belongs to the generalized virtual currency, it is essentially different from the virtual currency issued by network enterprises, so it is called digital currency. This paper compares digital currency with electronic currency and virtual currency from the aspects of issuing subject, scope of application, issuing quantity, storage form, circulation mode, credit guarantee, transaction cost and transaction security.

3. Digital currency is an alternative currency in the form of electronic currency. Both digital gold coin and password currency belong to digital currency. It is different from the virtual currency in the virtual world, because it can be used for real goods and services transactions, not limited to online games. At present, the central bank does not recognize or issue digital currency, and digital currency does not have to have a benchmark currency. The popular digital currencies in 2015 include bitcoin, Leyte coin, infinite coin, etc.

4. It is reported that the central bank's research on the issue of digital currency is not a temporary move. Since 2014, the research on the central bank's digital currency has been carried out for five years. In 2017, the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China was officially established, and has applied for more than 70 patents related to digital currency technology< In recent years, with the development of Internet technology, especially blockchain technology, many so-called "virtual currencies" have emerged in the world, such as bitcoin and Laite currency, which are controversial in recent years. So, how is the digital currency proposed by the central bank different from these commercial "virtual currencies"? The following is an analysis of the patent of Xiaoju

some patents of the digital currency Research Institute of the people's Bank of China (data source: huijuyun)

what is digital currency? --[ Invention patent] digital currency system

cloud computing is the mainstream direction of the future back-end server, and the digital currency back-end system adopts cloud based solutions

in e-commerce activities, e to different roles, the requirements for digital currency are different: customers require digital currency to be easy to use, safe to store and anonymous; Businesses require digital currency to be certifiable and can be converted into real currency; Banks require that digital currency cannot be illegally used or forged. Therefore, digital currency d-rmb should have the following characteristics:

1. Security: it can prevent any party in business from changing or illegally using digital currency< 2. Non repeated spending: digital currency can only be used once, and repeated spending can be easily detected

3. Controllable anonymity: banks and businesses collude with each other and can't track the use of digital currency, which requires that the system can't link the purchase behavior of e-cash users, so as to conceal the purchase history of digital currency users, but the issuer of digital currency can track the use of digital currency

4. Unforgeability: digital currency that users cannot fake

5. Fairness: the payment process is fair, which ensures that either the two parties succeed in the transaction, or both parties have no losses, so as to prevent one of the parties from suffering losses in the transaction

6. Compatibility: the issue process and circulation of digital currency in d-rmb system should refer to the issue and circulation of physical currency as far as possible

as for digital currency, it should be able to adapt to various use scenarios of existing currency and be freely convertible with existing currency

this patent provides a digital currency system, including central bank digital currency system, commercial bank digital currency system, and authentication system

among them, the central bank's digital currency system is used to generate and issue digital currency, and to register the ownership of digital currency; The digital currency system of commercial banks is used to perform banking functions for digital currency; The authentication system is used to provide authentication for the interaction between the central bank digital currency system and the terminal equipment used by the users of the digital currency, and for the interaction between the central bank digital currency system and the commercial bank digital currency system
