OpenWallet Foundation: Accelerating Wallet Development Through Open Source
summary
OpenWallet Foundation launches just over a year ago and now hosts production code: Bifold and Credo as full wallet stacks, an Android identity library contributed by Google that is already part of the EU reference wallet, and a small inclusion called the farm worker wallet OS. The EU funds a $22 million reference wallet and mandates all 22 member states provide citizen wallets. Core work focuses on key management, backup/restore, JWT/SD-JWT and W3C verifiable credentials, plus sync, secure enclave variance, and deployment-ready integration.
