The inexorable rise of digital currencies globally has brought with it a proliferation of digital payments initiatives, each seeking to deliver faster, cheaper and more efficient payments to end users. One of the major challenges to solve for in digital currency payments is that of interoperability to enable the transferring and swapping of different currencies underpinned by different protocols.
The Universal Digital Payments Network, or UDPN, is one initiative in the digital currency payments space that solves the interoperability challenge, and then goes further to differentiate itself from both new and incumbent approaches to cross-border payments. The UDPN is a global messaging network supporting government-regulated digital currency systems, including regulated stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs).
