BUCHAREST, 22 October 2026 – Europeum-EDIC, the European Digital Infrastructure Consortium established by Belgium, Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovenia and Spain to operate the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), announces EBSI’s official launch at the first EBSI Ecosystem Roadshow: Romania Edition.
Initiated in April 2026, EBSI’s production network, with 20 validator nodes across 10 countries, provides a shared European infrastructure for trusted digital interactions at national and cross-border levels. Governed by its participating Member States, Europeum-EDIC provides a common framework for the operation and development of EBSI, allowing public and private organisations across Europe to build on shared infrastructure.
The official launch marks the next phase: onboarding real-world projects for production use.
EBSI provides shared European trust infrastructure that public administrations, businesses and organisations across the digital trust ecosystem can build on to deliver trusted digital services. The EBSI catalogue of services will make it easier for wallet providers and other Application Service Providers to integrate EBSI services into their own products, enabling them to verify digital credentials, establish trust in digital records and support product traceability. These services support interoperable solutions across sectors, in line with relevant European regulations and standards.
Three core services form EBSI’s initial catalogue of services:
Verifiable Records & Proofs: creates tamper-proof evidence that a document or piece of data is authentic and unchanged since it was recorded on EBSI.
Trust Chains & Ecosystem of Trusted Issuers: enables organisations to build chains of trust in which accredited issuers provide digital credentials that relying parties can verify without contacting the issuer.
Origin & Traceability: records a product’s origin and the events in its journey between organisations, creating a verifiable trail across supply chains.
Organisations can test Verifiable Records & Proofs in the EBSI Client Portal sandbox, access the catalogue through a single API and begin the onboarding process with Europeum-EDIC to move towards production. Additional services will follow.
Europeum-EDIC is delivering a scalable infrastructure that can support organisations of all sizes in moving use cases towards production. This opens new opportunities across Europe to develop and deploy digital trust solutions for both national and cross-border needs.
Some of the first use cases expected to go live on EBSI include digital product passports to verify product origin and integrity across supply chains, and document anchoring solutions migrating from private blockchains to EBSI.
European Commission services are carrying out technology testing and pilots that assess blockchain technology, for instance, for ensuring data integrity when publishing statistical data and for potential future applications in carbon markets. This demonstrates the growing traction for a trusted decentralised model in publicly governed European digital infrastructure.
“Thank you to our first users to adopt new EBSI services powered by Europeum. Now that EBSI is an infrastructure as a service, our focus is on helping organisations use it at scale.” – Xavier Juredieu, Director of Europeum-EDIC
“Europeum-EDIC demonstrates the value of Member States working together to develop and govern a shared pan-European digital infrastructure. With EBSI, we aim to strengthen European digital sovereignty, support interoperable trust services across borders and make more efficient use of public resources.” – Alberto López, Chair of the Europeum-EDIC Assembly of Members and Representative of Portugal
“Europe’s digital future depends on our ability to build trust across borders and improve the EU’s competitiveness. The entry of EBSI into its production phase marks a significant milestone. Europeum-EDIC demonstrates how multi-country projects can accelerate cooperation among Member States, for delivering enhanced, resilient, and scalable services to public and private actors.” – Thibaut Kleiner, Director, Directorate-General for Communications Networks, Content and Technology (DG Connect), European Commission
Europeum-EDIC will continue to expand EBSI’s catalogue of services and work with Member States and the wider ecosystem to support new use cases and help organisations integrate trusted digital services into their solutions. Organisations interested in exploring EBSI services can access the EBSI Client Portal sandbox and contact Europeum-EDIC to discuss potential use cases and the path towards production.
