Linux Foundation launches digital wallet development support foundation

 

It appears that the institution does not intend to create its own digital wallet. Rather, its goal is to make it easier for companies to create their own portfolios


The Linux Foundation, a global non-profit organization that supports innovation within the blockchain ecosystem through access to open source technology, has announced plans to launch the OpenWallet Foundation or OWF.


OWF is a collaborative effort between companies in technology and the public sector, as well as those involved in the blockchain ecosystem, to develop open source software to support the interoperability of digital wallets, i.e. software designed to send, receive, store and monitor digital assets.


According to a press release, OWF's primary goal is to build a versatile open source engine that anyone with a technical understanding can use to build wallets that allow safe, secure, and secure interoperability and ensure privacy. The foundation also said that it seeks to create an environment for better practices for digital wallet technology.


Rather than creating a digital wallet itself, the organization will focus on building an open-source software engine that organizations, companies, and other developers can use to create their own versatile digital wallets. Jim Zemlin, CEO of the Linux Foundation, shared the foundation's vision:

“We are convinced that digital wallets will play a crucial role in digital societies. Open software is the key to interoperability and security. We are thrilled to launch the OpenWallet Foundation and are excited to see its potential.”

David Treat from Accenture, a member of the foundation, said: 

“The global digital wallet infrastructure will create the ability to carry token identity, money and things from one place to another in the digital world. A massive change in the business model is coming, and the winning digital businesses will be the ones who gain the confidence to directly access the real data in our wallets to create much better digital experiences.”

 Joining the Linux Foundation in this endeavor are other well-known companies such as CVS Health, Open Identity Exchange, Okta, OpenID Foundation, Ping Identity, Polypoly, Procivis AG, Transmute and Trust Over IP Foundation.
