The SORA network’s decentralized nature is a crucial advantage,
as it operates independently of any national jurisdiction, thus offering a politically neutral platform for CBDC transactions and by providing XORless transfers, allowing on-chain transactions without CBDC holders needing cryptocurrencies to cover fees, Central Bank currencies do not need to face the same issues as those raised using other blockchains such as Ethereum.

Bokolo Cash users will be able to bridge their CBDC tokens to the SORA network,
a decentralised Substrate-based public blockchain network, where they can transfer Bokolo Cash tokens to other users within the network using QR codes through the Fearless Wallet mobile app that is compatible with SORA public blockchain and is also developed by Soramitsu, taking advantage of public blockchain security, availability, and speed.
Within the scope of the PoC, Fearless Wallet is used to simulate cross-border transactions. Because no country owns SORA, it is ideal for central banks to use it without worrying about political exposure. In the future, other central banks could also bridge their CBDCs to SORA, which will aid remittances between multiple jurisdictions.
