Belgium plans to promote the construction of public blockchain infrastructure in Europe

On November 22, Belgium plans to accelerate the development of a European blockchain infrastructure during its term as rotating presidency of the European Council in 2024, to store and manage official documents such as driver's licenses and property certificates. The proposal was put forward by Mathieu Michel, Belgium's Secretary of State for Digitalization, with the aim of promoting European digital sovereignty.This infrastructure will reshape the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) project launched by the European Commission in 2018, renamed as "Europeum" and built as the European Digital Infrastructure Alliance (EDIC).
