April 2025 Newsletter
iGrant.io™
Enable data exchange with consent using eIDAS2 compliant digital wallets - Lawful, Scalable and Verifiable.
Welcome to the fourth edition of our newsletter for April 2025. We’re excited to share the latest updates on our products, upcoming events, and industry insights with you. In this edition, we cover the following:
Product updates and new features
April has been a month of tangible progress at iGrant.io™ , reflecting our continued commitment to shaping a secure, interoperable, and regulation-aligned future for digital identity and data sharing. From showcasing real-world use cases to aligning with the latest regulatory frameworks, our efforts this month were focused on delivering impact where it matters most: real users, real data, and real value.
We started April with significant momentum across the EU Digital Wallet Consortium (EWC) Phase 02 pilots, with a primary focus on travel-related scenarios. To bring these use cases to life, we released four demonstration videos that provided a hands-on view of how the EU Digital Identity Wallet can simplify cross-border mobility. These videos covered four key scenarios: the hotel registration scenario, applying an age-based discount, the easy flight check-in scenario, and booking a ferry ride with a student concession.
The Phase 02 travel pilot officially concluded on April 28 2025, marking a significant milestone in demonstrating the potential of digital wallets in everyday travel situations.
Completed surveys: 310 🚀 | Visitors: 3,264 | Average bounce rate: 48%
Throughout the month, we also deepened our community engagement. A key highlight was our joint webinar with Intesi Group , where we demonstrated a payment use case using iGrant.io™ Data Wallet and Organisation Wallet.
Watch the payments use-case demo here:
Product-wise, we made meaningful enhancements with the release of versions 1.8 and 1.9, integrating EU ARF (Architecture and Reference Framework) updates to reflect evolving technical and policy requirements. On the regulatory front, twelve new Implementing Acts were published: a vital step for all actors in the digital identity ecosystem. With the RFC (Request for Comments) window now open, we align our solutions with these new standards to ensure readiness and compatibility.
We're also happy to share our newly published article, "The EUDI Wallet Decoded," which explores how the emerging technology is poised to unlock value across both public and private sectors.

Finally, we are humbled to have been recognised by MyData Sweden for our leadership in ethical data governance, privacy-first technology, and business innovation. This recognition is a nod to the values that guide every step we take. Congratulations to Lal Chandran on receiving the MyData Sweden Award in the Thought Leadership and Technology categories.

What’s Next
New Implementing Acts Now Open for Consultation
The European Commission has released a new set of 12 draft Implementing Acts under the eIDAS 2.0 framework, now open for public consultation as part of the Request for Comments (RFC) initiative. These acts are critical to strengthening the EU’s electronic identification and services trust framework. This consultation offers a valuable opportunity for stakeholders, including public and private sector actors, trust service providers, and digital identity experts, to provide input and shape the future regulatory landscape. Feedback is open until 13 May 2025, and we’ll dedicate time to review them together during our Friday Session on 9 May. All documents, including annexes, can be accessed and commented on via the following link here.
EWC RFC work is ongoing for phase 03
As part of ongoing RFC (Request for Comments) work for EWC Phase 03, iGrant.io™ actively contributes to developing and testing trust mechanisms (RFC012)that will support seamless credential exchange in real-world scenarios. The Large Scale Pilot is scheduled for June 2025, marking a key milestone as we move towards near-production trials. This phase will focus on real-world testing of the EU Digital Identity Wallet in operational environments.
A key requirement in this phase is onboarding to the EWC Trust List, which ensures that all participating entities, across Work Packages 2 and 3 (WP2 & WP3), can be reliably verified within the ecosystem. Explore the relevant materials below:
Great roundup! The demos really help bring the EUDI Wallet use cases to life. Looking forward to seeing what’s next.
