Service: The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI)

Responsible organisation: European Comission (Academic-Research)

The European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI), a pan-European blockchain network, is the project of the European Blockchain Partnership. It provides reusable software, specifications and services that help out EU institutions and European public administrations. The European Commission selected four use cases for the project. The first is notarisation: using blockchain for digital audit trails; to automate compliance checks quickly; and to prove the integrity of data. The second is to log education credentials on the blockchain, “significantly reducing verification costs and improving authenticity trust”. The third is to create digital identities, which EU citizens can use to “create and control their own identity across borders without relying on centralised authorities.” The fourth is for secure data sharing among EU customs and tax authorities.
