EU eIDAS 2.0 Regulation establishing the European Digital Identity Framework
What happened: Regulation (EU) 2024/1183 amends eIDAS to establish the European Digital Identity Framework (including the European Digital Identity Wallet).
Why it matters for DEPI: Identity is increasingly the control plane for digital life. As identity frameworks mature, the missing layer becomes unavoidable: delegation, succession, and lifecycle governance (incapacity → death) that aligns technical enforcement with legal/fiduciary intent. DEPI’s lifecycle continuity framing plugs directly into the gap eIDAS does not explicitly solve
