Building an Internet Economy Fit for the Digital Euro
summary
A preview of a joint IEF–Chainlink study argues that the Digital Euro’s concrete design choices determine whether it becomes an innovation platform or a closed payment rail: it models token vs account architectures, sketches how Chainlink oracles and existing rails interoperate, and quantifies tradeoffs for privacy, sovereignty and composability. Recommendations: favor patterns that let startups and DeFi build on top, correct early euro design mistakes, and enable machine‑to‑machine payments and smart‑contract composability without surrendering control.
