1ecosystem use cases
  • compatibility issues (technical, policy)
  • cannot solve compatibility and end up with silos
  • we cannot cope with the "stability" of paper (issuance, but also verification)
  • we cannot provide good enough usability → silos for fixing this
2credential flow
  • other standards and architectures are imposed on us, requiring us to change a lot
  • not good enough user-friendliness makes the wallet-ecosystem fail as a whole
  • GAFAMs to impose their way (including browsers as "their" tool, interference with their business interests)
3credential governance
  • how about other governance models being forced upon us?
  • intermediaries trying to keep their influence
  • overcoming national borders might impose barriers
  • failing to communicate the new "VC world" to end users and those engaged in the process
  • if usability is missing, the trust governance cannot be communicated appropriately
4Wallet and protocol governance
  • Most EU standarisation is behind closed doors and politisized
  • Unclear how EUDI will be goverened in the future
  • Unclear how much impact EUDI will have. If it does not go beyond Government based data, our sector will maybe create a parallel ecosystem
