With it, users will be able to perform operations with tokens and smart contracts placed on the Sberbank platform.
What is known about the blockchain platform? Sberbank’s platform allows customers to issue their own tokens and create smart contracts. In addition, integration with the bank’s information systems makes it possible to make payments in rubles as part of smart contracts.
