In this article we'll explain how proposed BRICS digital currency can be realized as a cryptocurrency, thus challenging the claims made in the 'Digital Money Options for the BRICS' paper. We'll explore how a public blockchain with smart contracts, combined with Zero-Knowledge Proof protocols like zkSNARKs and zkSTARKs, provides a natural fit for implementing the BRICS currency. We'll learn how the dynamic supply mechanism, legal compliance on-chain, and the integration with DeFi and zkLocus for authenticated private geolocation can be materialized. Discover how the BRICS nations can leverage these technologies for a more decentralized, interoperable, and efficient financial system aligned with Web3 principles.
