  Not the OP, but I don't really get it. Maybe I'm missing something. They're basically creating cash accounts? Not quite a bank but... not far off it. I feel like a simpler solution is just mandating that banks are required to offer a basic cash account at a set maximum cost. It doesn't feel like the bitcoin part of the experiment is really doing anything special. It's all in a single app and all held by a holding org. They just track who has how much of the reserve. Not really the free and open bitcoin?

    Isn't it based on the lightning network? Does the wallet only connect to a single preapproved node?
