Discover what programmable money is and how it is transforming the nature of business and transactions

Programmable money refers to a digital form of money that can be programmed with conditional logic prior to exchange. It has the potential to revolutionize financial systems, which is why organizations are scrambling to investigate its potential applications.
In this article we explore:
Programmable money refers to digital currency that can be assigned conditions about its use by leveraging blockchain-based smart contracts. Digital instruments embedded with logic-based conditions can enhance user experiences and significantly boost the transparency, efficiency, and accessibility of financial services. This can greatly benefit automation while allowing for innovative new business cases.
At its simplest, programmable money can remove the need for trust, limiting how funds can be used by enforcing predetermined conditions. Funds can, for example:
But in order to access the power of programmable money, organizations must leverage blockchain. For this reason, forward-leaning companies are using Catalyst Blockchain Manager to simplify and accelerate their implementations of this technology and allow them to develop programmable money use cases far more easily.
Programmable money can create trust among all participants by providing a transparent record of financial transactions and direct access to transaction history for regulators. Smart digital currencies can track transactions, assisting with anti-money laundering programs and creating barriers for other forms of malicious activities. Organizations could, for example, tightly control how employee benefits are managed and no longer need to concern themselves with logging and verifying receipts for expense reports, as this could be entirely gated and automated.
Having contractual requirements entangled with real payment, programmable money allows the many layers of transaction processes to be combined, drastically accelerating the speed of business and payment settlement. This has massive implications for the efficiency of the financial system, where the automation of transactions and the elimination of intermediaries can streamline processes, reduce administrative burden, and minimize human error — together resulting in greatly improved operational efficiency.
Organizations can stimulate financial innovation with new business models formed on top of programmable money platforms. By leveraging smart contracts, programmable money facilitates automation and conditional payments, allowing the creation of new financial instruments and decentralized applications founded on self-executing agreements and predefined conditions. This opens the path to an entirely new, as-of-yet undefined business reality.
Applied to loyalty and reward programs, programmable money provides radical simplicity and ease of use to a wide-spread business practice – one that is burdened by cumbersome processes related to point systems, point redemption options, and the exchange of points among program partners. A well-designed programmable loyalty token system can render the task of devising, tracking, and assigning loyalty points trivial.
Programmable Money can be encoded to only trigger payment once specific conditions are met. This could transform supply chain transaction settlement, with transactions instantly finalized the moment goods or services are delivered. Payment could travel at the speed of the Internet, providing enhanced traceability through coin transaction data and greatly reducing the need for expensive dispute resolution processes.
Programmable money in healthcare can be used to streamline medical payments and accelerate insurance claims processing. Programmability could also be used to automate the reimbursement process when verification conditions are met.
Programmable money can transform corporate and institutional treasury management by linking payments to identity verification and real-time data. Not only would this eliminate nefarious mismanagement of company funds, but it would also mean payments could be executed based on accurate, live measures of capital liquidity. This would greatly reduce the need for manual monitoring and sluggish forecasting models, altering procurement and corporate resource management for the better.
Energy and utilities markets could leverage programmable money to facilitate and streamline energy billing and settlement processes. It could help with automating aspects of peer-to-peer energy trading, pinning payments to energy consumption.
Programmable money could also be used for:
Developing programmable money requires an organization to have blockchain capabilities. In the current business climate, however, it can be challenging to maintain teams with the deep expertise required for building and developing blockchain solutions from scratch. Regardless of the specific blockchain protocol leveraged by an organization, there will always be obstacles and technical hurdles that require the right knowledge and experience.
For this reason, going it alone comes with risks. An inability to overcome technical problems could bring projects to a halt, and failure to anticipate future requirements could necessitate expensive and time-consuming redesign.
Fortunately, the world has moved on from the early days of blockchain. The technology is now mature and better served, with tools available that can lower technical barriers and enable DLT solutions with greater ease. This is where Catalyst Blockchain Manager changes the game.
