Build a multi-purpose Open Source Engine

A wide variety of use cases will be supported by the wallets, including identity, payments, and digital keys, and it aims to achieve features similar to the best wallets currently on the market.

“With the OpenWallet Foundation we push for a plurality of wallets based on a common core. I couldn’t be happier with the support this initiative has received already and the home it found at the Linux Foundation,” said Daniel Goldscheider, who initiated the initiative.
Jim Zemllin, Linux Foundation Executive Director added that “We are convinced that digital wallets will play a critical role for digital societies. Open software is the key to interoperability and security. We are delighted to host the OpenWallet Foundation and excited for its potential.”
