Secure private networks for digital money and market innovation
Central banks are exploring DLT to enhance the efficiency, resilience, and transparency of payment and settlement systems while maintaining monetary and financial stability. Use cases include wholesale central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), tokenized central bank money for on-chain settlement, and improved cross-border payments through programmable, interoperable infrastructure.
Why HashSphere?
By experimenting with DLT in controlled environment like HashSphere, central banks can assess how new technologies support faster settlement, reduced counterparty risk, and more direct policy transmission, while preserving governance, security, and regulatory oversight
Preserve trust and monetary policy
Comply with legal and jurisdictional requirements while enabling innovation, such as CBDCs and tokenized settlement, within a controlled environment that preserves trust, stability, and sovereignty.
Governance, privacy, and regulatory oversight
With HashSphere, central banks can tightly govern participation, protect sensitive transaction and policy data, and ensure deterministic performance and resilience for systemically important infrastructure.
A path to broader connectivity
When appropriate, HashSphere enables central banks to connect private systems to public networks like Hedera, supporting cross-border settlement or interoperability with market participants.

Strengthening national payments infrastructure
Project Acacia is a joint initiative with the Reserve Bank of Australia and the Digital Finance CRC, exploring stablecoins, real-world asset tokenization, and CBDC use cases across Hedera and HashSphere. The project demonstrates how public and private distributed ledger infrastructure can work together to support secure, resilient, and future-ready national payment systems.
Introducing CLPR–a new Cross-Ledger Protocol
CLPR moves value natively between ledgers cryptographically–without intermediaries and bridges. It enables interoperability between private network Spheres, the Hedera public network and even other public networks outside of the Hedera ecosystem to unlock greater sources of liquidity.
