Deutsche Bank and Standard Chartered’s SC Ventures are testing the Universal Digital Payments Network (UDPN) as an alternative to the traditional SWIFT system for stablecoins and Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs). UDPN, which involves around 25 organizations, serves as an interoperability bridge between various blockchains, ensuring transactions take place in a regulated, bank-friendly environment. Developed by GFT Group and Red Date Technology, it permits transactions across diverse networks, from stablecoins on public blockchains to CBDCs. The aim is to integrate blockchain-based transactions in private settings, a goal pursued by multiple bank consortia over the years. UDPN uses decentralized digital identity standards, enabling it to operate on both permissioned and permissionless networks. For cross-border transfers, the value is tokenized and transferred to a UDPN-managed smart contract, which then releases the target currency, eliminating the need for centralized systems like SWIFT.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://qualitax.gitbook.io/interop/solutions-providers/deutsche-bank-standard-chartered-ventures.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
