** eIDAS 2.0 (Electronic Identification, Authentication and Trust Services)

EU regulation (amended 2024). Creates the EU Digital Identity Wallet — mandatory
for member states to offer, optional for citizens. Requires: qualified electronic
signatures/seals/timestamps, qualified trust service providers (QTSPs), and the
EU Digital Identity Wallet for identity verification across borders.

Who must comply: Trust service providers, government digital identity systems,
any organization accepting eIDAS-qualified identities. 27 member states must
provide wallets by 2026.

Penalties: Member state enforcement; penalties vary but non-compliance blocks
access to the EU digital identity market.

Why it matters: eIDAS 2.0 creates a verified digital identity layer across the
EU. The gate stack can integrate with eIDAS wallets as the identity provider
for gate rules — "only X, authenticated via eIDAS wallet, may approve this
transaction." First-mover advantage: wallets are being built now; the provider — the one that First-mover advantage: wallets are being built now; the provider that integrates with the gate stack first becomes the compliance standard for eIDAS-authenticated transactions.
