Spanish Royal Mint (FNMT) appointed Gataca as technology partner to implement SSI technology in a pilot with Spanish universities.

Spain Kicks Off Pilot for Decentralized Digital ID | Gataca ↗

What happened

  • The pilot provides a mobile app, Cartera Digital, for users to generate and store verifiable credentials.
  • Participating universities are UC3M, UMU and URV.
  • Credentials include a verifiable ID issued by FNMT and a 'MyAcademicID' credential issued by universities.
  • Gataca will provide technology for issuance, management and verification of these credentials, plus the ID wallet.

Why it matters to Signicat

  • Assessed: a national-mint pilot with Gataca as wallet and credential provider is a direct competitive signal in Spain, a Signicat core market, for EUDI-aligned verifiable credentials.
  • Assessed: the pilot is scoped to higher education and described as a pilot, so near-term volume impact on Signicat is likely limited.
