What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Track; not yet

Why
Proven, multi-year-live template for phone-number/VPA-based real-time cross-border settlement between two central-bank-operated instant-payment rails, but it is national payment infrastructure operated by RBI/NPCI/MAS — not a technology pragma.vision integrates directly; its value here is architectural precedent (identifier-based routing without bank-account exchange), not direct adoption.
Next
Reference as architectural precedent when evaluating identifier-based (VPA/phone-number) cross-rail settlement patterns for AP2/ACP/UCP; revisit if a multilateral successor (e.g., BIS Project Nexus) reaches pilot status relevant to pragma.vision's protocol stack.
