Decentralized Technologies and Public Infrastructure
summary
EU-wide verification infrastructure runs on Besu/EVM, uses a QBFT proof-of-authority consensus with no native token, and keeps personal data off-chain while storing issuer and schema registries on-ledger. A four-year pilot shows about 40 nodes and 150 legal entities with 24-node pre-production clusters and a goal of 100 validators for production next year. Deliverables include an EBSI-in-a-box open source stack, audited smart contracts, and a security push to move validator keys into HSMs for real-world resilience.
