The groups like PBOC came up with this coin first and then the App in the same year. They tested the App, and we have seen many more internal testing from four different nations.

The App has come up with two big things that remain the critical users of e-CNY.

It is then linked to many more bank cards. Only Chinese users have complete access, while others have limited version access.
