EUDI Wallet Hackathon 2026

With the EUDI Wallet Hackathon, we opened access to the German EUDI Wallet ecosystem for the first time and invited a broad community to actively contribute to its development. The goal was to turn innovative ideas into concrete applications—regardless of participants’ roles, experience, or industry background.

The hackathon took place online on June 4 and 5, 2026, and was open to both individuals and teams. More than 100 participants joined the kickoff call at the start. In total, participants from 12 different time zones took part, demonstrating strong international interest and the diversity of the community.

Participants had the opportunity, for the first time, to work not only with Person Identification Data (PID) but also with Electronic Attestations of Attributes (EAAs). No prior knowledge of digital credentials or extensive preparation was required to participate.

Over the course of two days, interdisciplinary teams worked intensively on concrete applications, integrations, and publicly accessible software components. The focus was on five challenge tracks, in which innovative approaches within the EUDI Wallet ecosystem were further developed and tested, from well-founded concepts and functional prototypes to technical contributions:

• Public Sector: How can the EUDI Wallet enable seamless interactions between citizens and public authorities? From change of address to document issuance – this track focuses on solutions for fully digital public services.
• Private Sector: How can the EUDI Wallet help businesses reduce complexity and build trust when securely verifying identities and credentials, preventing fraud, and delivering a seamless customer experience?
• Builders Challenge: Digital identity unlocks its full potential especially in physical interactions. This track seeks innovative solutions that connect EUDI Wallet credentials with hardware or IoT environments.
• Creative Use Cases: How can the EUDI Wallet enable creative applications beyond traditional identity verification? Ideas from gaming, education, healthcare, or travel are highly welcome.
• Developer Tools: Widespread adoption of the Wallet depends on easy-to-use developer tools. Open source solutions, reusability, and high-quality documentation should support the smooth integration of Wallet functionalities into everyday development workflows.

At the end of the hackathon, a total of 42 solutions were presented. An open principle applied: everyone who wanted to present their work had the opportunity to do so. The final presentations were accessible to all participants, and the sessions could be followed live. A recording of the final presentations is available here.

Top teams from the different challenge tracks were invited to present their results live at the EUDI Wallet Community Event EUDI ON on June 25, 2026, in Berlin. We congratulate the winning teams:

• Ctrl Alt Verify: For every citizen who ever had to trust blindly (Public Sector)
• Hovi: Verifying Telco Customers on the Fly, Stopping SIM Swap and Account Takeover (Private Sector)
• TwoPizzaTeam: Meeting Rooms (Builders Challenge)
• EUDICATION: EUDI Wallet & Agentic AI: Unlocking Trusted Autonomy (Creative Use Cases)
• Augenmaß: Who is over‑asking in the EUDI registry (Developer Tools & Community Award)

The EUDI Wallet Hackathon demonstrated the level of innovation within the community and provided valuable impulses for the next steps in the development of the EUDI Wallet ecosystem.
