Gate News Report, March 11 — The European Central Bank (ECB) officially released the Appia strategic roadmap, aiming to build a European tokenized wholesale financial market ecosystem anchored by central bank digital currency. The core component of the roadmap, Pontes, is a distributed ledger technology (DLT) settlement solution for the euro system, expected to go live in Q3 2026, at which point it will interconnect with the euro system’s TARGET payment settlement service. Currently, the ECB has opened a public consultation channel to gather opinions and suggestions from the public and private sectors on the roadmap, with a feedback deadline of April 22. Additionally, the digital euro pilot program is expected to officially launch in the second half of 2027.
