The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) is a pan-European permissioned blockchain network operated by EU member states and the European Commission to deliver cross-border public services. It anchors verifiable credentials and decentralised identifiers, enabling trusted exchange of diplomas, official documents, and identity attestations between governments. EBSI is a leading example of a public-sector consortium blockchain supporting self-sovereign identity.
