The Digital Euro
Investigating a currency that does not yet exist.

- 23 infographics

one infrastructure in six layers
Read the records in their order of proof.
The final regulation, holding limit and several technical choices remain open. The investigation therefore separates adopted provisions, proposals, test assumptions and what public records still cannot establish.
The EPUB preserves reading order, canonical links, sources, limitations and text alternatives for the infographics. It remains readable offline while retaining a path to every public correction.

l0g method
Every status remains visible.
Legislative texts, ECB documents, procurement records, commissioned studies and test scenarios do not carry the same decision status. The edition preserves those distinctions and marks unknowns instead of filling them in.
