  - CBDC workflows
  - FX swaps
  - Commodity token redemptions
  - Settlement contracts

### Security

- TPM-backed nodes

## 4. ZK-CBDC Validation Framework

### Purpose

Zero-Knowledge CBDC Validation ensures privacy-preserving compliance by enabling:
- Balance verification without revealing balances
- Transaction compliance without revealing transaction history
- ZK-enabled AML and sanctions screening

### ZK Validation Modes

**Mode 1 – ZK-Balance Proofs (zkBP)**
- Proves wallet has sufficient funds without revealing amount

**Mode 2 – ZK-Compliance Proofs (zkCP)**
- Ensures:
  - AML rules satisfied
  - Sanctions clear
  - Transaction within policy limits

**Mode 3 – ZK-Identity Proofs (zkIP)**
- Provides confirmation that wallet belongs to verified entity
- Without disclosing identity attributes

### Smart Contract Verification

Smart contracts validate:
```
if zkBP && zkCP && zkIP:
    execute_CBDC_transfer()
```
