(Source: https://github.com/corda/accounts-demo-supplychain)
You can refer to this Supply-Chain project on GitHub to understand
how Accounts model can be effortlessly implemented for a supply-
chain ecosystem.
Accounts model is also hugely helpful for many different business
models in the banking and financial sectors. Especially, “Central
Bank Digital Currency” or CBDC implementation can be greatly
benefitted by the use of Corda’s accounts library.
14.5 Token SDK
R3 Corda has very well developed libraries for creating and
maintaining both fungible and non-fungible tokens. So, the
customers can represent any of their assets as non-fungible tokens
and can sell it on the ledger after the exchange of money. The
libraries give us an option to define our own token, issue it, update
the ownership, or even redeem the token. If needed, the history of
the state of the tokens can be retrieved from Corda’s vault.
Corda Token SDK can also be used in CBDC projects to create
coins with money like features that are not necessarily associated
with any particular account and can be independently traded with the
other assets, just like cash.
14.6 Corda Network
Corda also comes with its public permissioned version running on
the Internet, known as “Corda network”. This network run by not-for-
profit Corda Network Foundation can onboard certified nodes of
different organizations that can exchange cash, digital assets,
bonds, identity etc., on the ledger in an interoperable way. With the
Corda network, R3 has managed to introduce a publicly available
infrastructure, using which organizations can build super-quick
decentralized applications that can eliminate operational complexity.
Corda network also comes with 24/7 assistance and support to
onboard new organizations and help them to operate.
