ZealiD published a blog article titled 'Germany's Fortress Wallet: A Lesson for Europe'.

Germany’s Fortress Wallet: A Lesson for Europe ↗

What happened

  • The article reports that around 35 % of German citizens have activated the Ausweis eID function and only about 22 % have ever used it.
  • The article describes the German EUDI Wallet as a national trust stack including a PID Provider and eID Server, a Wallet Provider Backend, and Platform Attestation.

Why it matters to Signicat

  • The fragmentation argument ('fortress wallets') is a narrative ZealiD uses to position itself as an open, interoperable alternative; Signicat's Wallet Hub competes in the same EUDI market.
