BRICS PAY or BRICS Pay is a decentralized and independent payment messaging mechanism system that is not affiliated with the BRICS organization or any of its councils.[1][2]

System

[edit]

The project is a joint venture between the BRICS states to receive and make payments in their own local currencies.[3][4][5][6] The venture was launched in 2018 by the BRICS Business Council. The team that cooperatively runs BRICS PAY consists of financial, banking technology experts from the four founding nations of BRICS, as well as South Africa. The purpose of BRICS PAY is to make international payments less costly and complicated, encouraging international cooperation between the growing crowd of BRICS members.[7]

On October 23, 2024, China has backed BRICS PAY.[1]

BRICS DCMS

[edit]

BRICS PAY will feature a decentralized Cross-border message system (DCMS), introduced by the Center of Saint-Petersburg State University. DCMS operates without a central owner or hub. Participants manage their own nodes, allegedly making the system resistant to external control or interference. The system does not feature mandatory transaction fees, but allows participants to optionally charge one another. DCMS automatically builds transaction routes between participants, aiming to ensure reliable communication even in case that direct transmission is unavailable. The goal is to minimize settlement imbalances between counterparties. Messages will be encrypted and signed, with multiple encryption mechanisms available. Participants can establish currency conversion rates and transaction limits. With recommended settings, DCMS claims to reach 20,000 messages per second, while on the other hand not posing minimal hardware requirements. DCMS is also planned to be open source, after passing the piloting phase. [8]
