European Commission holds webinar on EBSI Wallet Conformance Testing

On 28 October 2021, the European Commission organised a webinar on the EBSI Wallet Conformance Testing (WCT). This will help wallet providers ensure conformity with EBSI’s core services APIs and standards.

The EBSI is the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure, it uses blockchain to help public administrations create cross-border services to verify information and ensure trust in digital services.

Thanks to EBSI, citizens can set-up digital wallets and manage their identity credentials (called Verifiable Credentials) across borders. Citizens can also gain digital control of their educational credentials, significantly reducing verification costs and improving trust in documents’ authenticity.

This technical webinar underlined the commitment of commercial wallet providers to work with the public sector – at national and European levels – to help Europe reach its Digital Decade.

The EBSI Early Adopters programme is currently showing us how Europe's emerging blockchain infrastructure will look in practice. Take a moment to look at this incubator helping Early Adopters and their partners imagine, build and launch their EBSI pilot project(s) in production to get involved and, if you're building a blockchain wallet and did not attend this workshop, please register on the dedicated page.
