Technology changes people's lives. With the development of science and technology, people's lives in the 21st century can be described as changing with each passing day, developing extremely fast, and the power of science has fully penetrated into all aspects of people's lives. In the past, when we went out to buy or travel, we had to prepare a lot of cash, not to mention that it was not easy to carry, and we had to always beware of money being stolen by others, which was very inconvenient. But with the development of science and technology, electronic payment has appeared in people's lives, with the emergence of third payment platforms such as WeChat and Alipay, now we only need to carry a mobile phone to get everything when we go out.
In order to improve financial security and payment efficiency, and promote the development of the digital economy and society, the central bank has been developing digital currency since 2014. As a financial digital technology brand, Didi Digital Technology (formerly Didi Finance) has been paying attention to the development of digital yuan since its birth in 2016 and trying to make technical reserves. In November 2019, Didi Digital established a digital yuan research team, and in March 2020, under the guidance of the Central Bank Digital Research Institute, it launched the application research and development of digital yuan. Didi Digital has played a tangible role in the development of the digital yuan. It is understood that in terms of the research and development of digital yuan, Didi Digital has been at the forefront of the response. Didi is the first Internet company to reach a strategic cooperation with the Digital Research Institute of the Central Bank, Didi Chuxing is the first cooperative merchant of the digital yuan app, and Qingju Bicycle is the first application scenario of the digital yuan, so it can be said that Didi is one of the earliest Internet companies in the industry to help the development of digital yuan.
As the world's largest conference, the convening of the Chengdu Universiade not only shows the spiritual and cultural outlook of Chinese youth to the world, but also makes the world feel the convenience brought by the digital yuan. In order to help ensure the payment service of the Universiade, Didi Pay provides a digital yuan payment function for travel scenarios. The application of digital yuan not only facilitates the payment method of Chinese people, but also provides convenience for some financial activities carried out by international friends in China.
The application of digital yuan is of great significance, and the application and research and development of Didi Digital Technology on digital yuan has also played a certain role in helping the development of digital yuan, facilitating people's daily life, and promoting the practical integration of the digital economy and the real economy to a certain extent.
