What is EBSI?
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) network will consist of distributed nodes located across Europe that will use blockchain technology to provide cross-border public services. Blockchain technology is a multipurpose technology that will ultimately revolutionize how people, governments, and businesses communicate with one another.
The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure's primary goal is to employ blockchain to create cross-border services for public administrations and their ecosystems to verify the information and make services trustworthy.
Since 2020, EBSI has been building a network of distributed blockchain nodes throughout Europe, allowing applications focused on specific use-cases. EBSI is the first EU-wide blockchain infrastructure led by the public sector that complies completely with European principles and regulations.
Now there are thirty-six nodes across Europe that are connected to EBSI which are working on several use cases such as:
Lithuania’s involvement
Lithuania's membership in the Single Digital Market gives a chance to join EBSI – all that is required is the establishment of an EBSI node. On the other side, the Lithuanian DLT node will have an impact on the Single Digital Market by providing an extra EU route for data sharing and tracking.
A significant number of EBSI nodes throughout the EU may result in more standardization of existing and planned use cases, resulting in improved accessibility and simplicity for end-users — whether individuals, companies, or public bodies.
EBSI nodes will enable interoperability between bodies in EU member states and Lithuania, enabling trusted, secure, and reliable information-sharing – incoming and outgoing document flows, tracing, and monitoring across the EU, without interfering with the work of other countries' institutions. As well as control their own wallets and information which they are sharing with the institutions.
DLTnode project
The main aim of the project is to develop and test the EBSI node, validate, and integrate it into European Blockchain Service Infrastructure (EBSI) and strengthen the capacity of public services, institutions, and stakeholders to use EBSI.
Lithuania’s team consists of a team of partners which are:
The initiative is supported by:
And the mentioned project is funded by Connecting Europe Facility of the European Union.
Training
