-In essence, it would mean adding a new parallel U.S. CBDC transaction network to the existing ACH Network. The new U.S. CBDC network handles the real-time transactions requirements of the U.S. CBDC. This requires the: 
- 
-  * Development of a U.S. CBDC is probably based on Stablecoin Model. 
-  * Use of an energy-efficient Consensus Algorithm 
-  * Development of a bridge between the existing ACH Network and the new U.S. CBDC Network 
-  * Development of a new standardized [[https://​www.omgwiki.org/​dido/​doku.php?​id=dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​a:​api | Application Programming Interface (API)]] to connect the outside world to the newly enhanced combined ACH Network and CBDC Network for the existing intermediaries to use for transfers 
-    : **Note:** The API could be in the form of Web Services, Remote Procedure Calls (RPC), [[https://​www.omgwiki.org/​dido/​doku.php?​id=dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​c:​corba | Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)]], ​ [[https://​www.omgwiki.org/​dido/​doku.php?​id=dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​d:​dds | Data Distribution Service (DDS)]] or other interprocess communication mechanisms defined using [[https://​www.omgwiki.org/​dido/​doku.php?​id=dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.b_stds:​tech:​omg:​idl&​s[]=idl | ISO/OMG Interface Definition Language (IDL)]], [[https://​www.omgwiki.org/​dido/​doku.php?​id=dido:​public:​ra:​xapend:​xapend.a_glossary:​w:​wsdl | standardized Web Services Interface Language (WSDL)]], etc.

-Figure {{ref>​simpleCbdcFlow}} provides a very simplistic overview of how a Dual ACH/CBDC network might work. The intention is to build onto the existing financial system already in place but to allow an option to use a U.S. CBDC probably built as a Stablecoin. The Existing Intermediaries would still fulfill their existing roles while providing an option to use a CBDC network to transfer the money. The existing validation and verification for the number of transactions,​ the quantity of money transferred,​ and all of the checks for criminal activity and assurance for privacy would stay in place. ​
