The discussions delved into various specific points, which are as follows:

The National Blockchain Framework:

The layered architecture of the “National Blockchain Framework” was discussed, and physical copies were handed over to Mr. Valentin Makarov. The framework aims to provide a single source of truth for all transactions and ensure transparency and accountability.

UPI-driven payment between India & Russia:

The participants discussed the use of UPI-driven payment between India & Russia for quick settlements and agility. The UPI platform has been a game-changer in the Indian payment ecosystem, and its adoption in other countries can facilitate seamless cross-border payments.

Building a new financial system between India & Russia:

The participants also talked about the use of Blockchain to build up a new financial system between India & Russia to facilitate scalability, real-time settlements, common consensus, and security. The current payment systems face several challenges, including payment data localization, which is a hindrance to cross-border payments. Blockchain can provide solutions to these challenges by ensuring data security and seamless cross-border payments.

Programmable Currency:

The participants proposed the use of “Programmable Currency” between friendly nations to address and automate specific payment needs and motives. Automation of specific discounts, duty waivers for payments with specific needs, and social causes was also discussed. This will enable the countries to facilitate transactions based on their specific needs and requirements.

Industry 4.0, Digital Cloning, and Progressive Business Intelligence:

These technologies can revolutionize the way businesses operate, and their adoption can lead to a more efficient and effective business ecosystem.
