The European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI), is a multi-country project, governed by the European Blockchain Partnership regrouping all EU Member States, Norway, Lichtenstein, and Ukraine as observer, in cooperation with the European Commission. EBSI is the first pan-European, public-driven initiative of its kind, tapping into blockchain's tamper-evident, immutable and decentralised properties to support better public services for all Europe. The blockchain ledger can be used to store information in a trusted, decentralised way, allowing for new forms of verification, traceability and transparency for citizens and enterprises.

It supports in particular the exchange of diplomas or other education credentials in a way which make them easy to verify and extremely difficult to fake or hack. It provides also solutions for anti-counterfeiting or the implementation of Digital Passport Product that can be used in support of the EU green agenda.
