ZENBRIDGE, Developed by Dyne.org, RIDDLE&CODE and InfoCert, Selected for Phase 2 of the European Blockchain Pre-Commercial Procurement

The consortium formed by Dyne.org, RIDDLE&CODE and InfoCert has entered the second phase of the European Blockchain Services Infrastructure (EBSI) project and will receive support to further develop and test its multilayered blockchain stack ZENBRIDGE.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20220317005181/en/

Led by the European Commission and 29 member countries that collaborate as a European Blockchain Partnership (EBP), EBSI aims to develop highly secure and compliant cross-border public services on a European level. This involves overcoming gaps in the existing blockchain applications and delivering more demanding solutions that reduce environmental footprint and comply with EU legal frameworks such as the GDPR. The second phase of the project was launched on December 20, 2021, and will run until the end of June 2022.

Some use cases include management and exploitation of data, tracking of digital records and the rights associated with them, automation of tasks through smart contracts and development of incentive models through tokenization of both physical and digital assets.

ZENBRIDGE, a state-of-the-art decentralized system, offers distributed, secure execution of smart contracts and is integrated with blockchain frameworks such as BigchainDB, PlanetMINT, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, Hyperledger Sawtooth and Bitcoin. The system is designed to deliver high-velocity performance, ensure sustainability and provide superior levels of data sovereignty as well as interoperability between various blockchain networks and legacy systems.

During this second phase, research and development results will be lab-tested. Based on these outcomes, a minimum of three projects will be selected for the final Phase (2B), which will run for an additional 12 months and result in real-world field testing.

Quotes from the consortium members:

Thomas Fürstner (Founder & CTO, RIDDLE&CODE): “The expertise of our consortium will hopefully convince the European Commission to make use of blockchain technology as a multipurpose tool to secure both the value of digital assets and data. At the ‘layer zero’, RIDDLE&CODE will work to connect productive machines and sensors with the security of banking-grade backends. This will allow us to establish trusted digital product passports for physical items in motion across Europe and ensure compliance with the European regulatory frameworks in a transparent way.”

Denis “Jaromil” Roio , (Founder and CTO of Dyne.org): “In our success within the EBSI procurement process, we see a big opportunity to provide the European ICT industry with environmentally sustainable solutions that are free and open to community-based adoption models. We leverage cryptography beyond some common financial sector use cases, making it easy to retrofit and recycle legacy infrastructure. Our solution is free from the speculation and waste of crypto-markets, supports computation on low-power embedded hardware and supports future-proof building blocks that are quantum-resistant. With the ZENBRIDGE stack, a developer can go from a smart contract to a ready-to-use wallet app implementation for digital product passports in a week.”

Carmine Auletta (Chief Strategy and Innovation Officer, InfoCert - Tinexta Group): “We’re pleased with the results achieved by the consortium in Phase 1 and proud of the support and trust placed in us to further develop the project in its second phase. Distributed Ledger Technologies will play an important role in the EU digital market and a key component to their market uptake will inevitably be played by their Governance & Trust Framework. Our consortium partners have demonstrated extraordinary technical expertise in distributed ledger technologies, while InfoCert has very distinctive experience in creating Trust Frameworks. Joining forces has proved crucial to ZENBRIDGE’s success.”

Stabilizing Grids and Cutting Costs in Half: Europe Is Banking on Grid-Relevant Storage Systems3.6.2026 15:50:00 CEST | Press release

The European battery market is scaling up at record speed: According to the latest Solar+ Report from SolarPower Europe, at the end of 2025, the installed storage fleet in the EU had reached a total capacity of 40 gigawatts (GW) and a storage capacity of 77 gigawatt hours (GWh). This is an increase of over 45 percent compared to the previous year. By 2030, the study’s Solar+ scenario forecasts that capacity will quadruple to 171 GW, while storage capacity will increase eightfold to 598 GWh. As growing solar and wind capacities place increasing demands on European grids, storage systems will need to shift electricity over many hours. As a result, the average storage duration will go up from 1.9 to 3.5 hours. This represents a technological leap that underscores the need to establish more grid-relevant storage systems. Taking place in Munich from June 23–25, ees Europe will showcase how the industry is meeting this enormous demand. As Europe’s largest exhibition for batteries and energy
