  • Abstract:
  • The emergence of Central Bank Digital Currencies (CBDCs) marks a significant shift in the evolution of digital financial systems. As central banks worldwide explore CBDCs to mod- ernize payment infrastructures, Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT), particularly Hyperledger Fabric, has gained prominence as a preferred blockchain framework for secure and scalable implementations. This survey paper provides a comprehensive analysis of CBDCs with a specific focus on their design, implementation, and operational aspects using Hyperledger Fabric as the core engine. It explores the key architectural models, transaction mechanisms, consensus protocols, privacy features, and regulatory considerations that shape CBDC deployment. Additionally, the paper presents case studies of global CBDC initiatives, highlighting the role of permissioned blockchain networks in enhancing security, transparency, and efficiency in digital monetary systems. The paper also examines challenges such as privacy concerns, interoperability, regulatory constraints, and financial stability risks. Finally, future research directions, including programmability, smart contracts, and cross-border transactions, are discussed to provide insights into the evolving landscape of blockchain-based CBDCs.
