In recognition of these data governance issues, some CBDC designs aim to safeguard anonymity through additional overlays, even for account-based CBDCs. The other approach is built on verifying users' identity ("account-based access") and would be rooted in a digital identity scheme.15 This second approach is more compatible with the monitoring of illicit activity in a payment system, and would not rule out preserving privacy: personal transaction data could be shielded from commercial parties and even from public authorities by appropriately designing the payment authentication process.

This calls for a CBDC that is account-based and ultimately tied to a digital identity, but with safeguards on data privacy as additional features. These studies also cover novel forms of decentralisation enabled via distributed ledger technology (DLT, see glossary). Central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) offer in digital form the unique advantages of central bank money: settlement finality, liquidity and integrity.
