OpenWallet Holds the Key to Unlock a New Wave of Trustworthy Digital Services
summary
Project launched in February with the first code contribution arriving days ago, aiming to build an open, interoperable wallet layer that implements standards like W3C Verifiable Credentials, C2PA provenance and EU digital ID architecture as reusable middleware. Core claims: a portable client-side vault for keys and credentials enables automated, privacy-preserving consent and removes account databases. Governance includes a government advisory council and GitHub/Discord workflows; initial project proposals and sponsor-backed prototypes exist but the codebase is still very early and largely exploratory.
