From the article:
The MIT Digital Currency Initiative, or DCI, is helping the federal reserve bank of Boston build a digital currency with the goal of scaling for consumer use. The DCI’s director Neha Narula told Cointelegraph:

“We're trying to build a high throughput, low latency transaction system that could be used by consumers and could handle the security and resilience required for a national currency.”
