EBSI.

In 2018, 27 EU Member States, Norway, and Liechtenstein signed a declaration creating the European Blockchain Partnership (EBP). The EBP group assists the European Commission with the establishment of a European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI).

EBSI is a joint initiative from the European Commission and the EBP. The vision of EBSI is to support the creation of reliable cross-border public services..

Since 2020, EBSI has been deploying a network of distributed nodes across Europe, supporting applications focused on selected use cases.

EBSI is the de facto choice for any cross-border application.

Our project: EBSI4ES

Our project has three activities:

  • configure three nodes that form part of the ebsi network build the use case of "diplomas" in Spanish universities. So that the universities issue credentials of verifiable academic degrees in the EBSI.
  • Issue from the National Registry of university graduates of the Ministry of Universities justifications of the registry in the form of credentials with the same legal effects as the degree.
  • Issue an identification card to access university services.
  • Support a blockchain network of Universities interoperable with EBSI.
