Project Jasper Primer

Payments Canada, the Bank of Canada, financial innovation firm R3 Lab and Research Centre and seven financial institutions have come together as an industry to investigate distributed ledger technology (DLT) – a shared database – for interbank payments.

The associated project, named Project Jasper, marks a significant milestone in the payments industry. It is the first time in the world that a central bank participated in a DLT experiment in partnership with the private sector.
