#LINUX RENAME DRIVERS#
In the US, Apple lets drivers store their licenses in digital form on their iPhones.Īccording to David Treat, who leads metaverse and blockchain projects at Accenture, “universal digital wallet infrastructure will create the ability to carry tokenized identity, money, and objects from place to place in the digital world.” Diia also grants access to over 50 governmental services, and the government eventually plans to make all kinds of state-person interactions available through the app. One such example is Diia, an online portal and mobile app that allows Ukrainian citizens to use digital documents on their smartphones instead of physical ones for identification and sharing purposes.

The sector, however, has already evolved beyond payments, often offering replacements for things people might keep in their physical wallets.

Read the press release here: #OpenWallet /ERkT2U5oeb We are excited to announce OpenWallet's intent to form the OpenWallet Foundation, under the umbrella of the Linux Foundation. I couldn’t be happier with the support this initiative has received already and the home it found at the Linux Foundation,” Daniel Goldscheider, CEO of open banking startup Yes.com who started the initiative, said in a statement. “With the OpenWallet Foundation, we push for a plurality of wallets based on a common core. Some of the projects supported by the Foundation include Linux, Kubernetes, Node.js, and the enterprise-focused blockchain initiative Hyperledger. One potential use case could include a cryptocurrency, but that will not be the only use case that could be addressed by the OWF open source engine,” Dan Whiting, Director for Media Relations and Communications at the Linux Foundation, told Decrypt.įounded in 2000, the Linux Foundation is the world’s leading project for collaboration on open-source software, hardware, standards, and data. “The OWF intends to enable many use cases where digital credentials and digital assets can be stored and easily accessed by users. Possible use cases also include crypto wallets that nowadays represent a part of a broader digital economy. The idea is that the wallets created under the OWF umbrella will support a wide variety of use cases, such as identity verification, payments, and digital key management.
#LINUX RENAME SOFTWARE#
The effort will focus on building an open-source software engine that other organizations and companies can leverage to develop their own digital wallets instead. The initiative has already earned support from several technology companies, including Accenture, Avast, and the Open Identity Exchange, as well as standardization organizations and representatives of the public sector, the Linux Foundation said in a press release Tuesday. The Linux Foundation today announced plans to form the OpenWallet Foundation (OWF), described as “a new collaborative effort to develop open source software to support interoperability for a wide range of wallet use cases.”
