Decentralized Technologies and Public Infrastructure
Sean Bohan, LF Decentralized Trust & Iulian Nita, EBSI
Description:
In a digital‑first world, how are governments adapting the public infrastructure underpinning services for public administrations, businesses, organizations, and citizens? What risks and challenges do they face as they digitize these services?
Sean Bohan of LF Decentralized Trust will sit down for a Q&A about delivering EU‑wide cross‑border services via the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) network with one of the project leaders. This session will dive into the roll‑out of EBSI as a secure, trustworthy digital verification infrastructure for Europe. It will cover how EBSI and other public infrastructure projects serve as a model for verifying identities, credentials, and data integrity with reduced inefficiencies and fraud.
Topics will include:
-
Services EBSI supports—verifiable educational, medical, and travel credentials; patent protections; product authentication; and more
-
Adoption and interoperability challenges of deploying across 30+ countries, each with its own regulatory framework and infrastructure
-
Decision to build on Besu, an enterprise Ethereum client
-
Role of open source, decentralized tech in delivering digital verification at scale
