NGI eSSIF-Lab Doubles Down its Bet on Gataca ↗
What happened
- Gataca was chosen for eSSIF-Lab's infrastructure-oriented call to develop SSI community standards with €155K equity-free funding.
- Gataca launched the Verifier Universal Interface (VUI) interoperability initiative, a working group to build standard APIs for a Verifier component.
Why it matters to Signicat
- Funding is public-programme grant money, below the €20M funding threshold, and the article describes R&D and standards work rather than a Signicat-market product launch.
