"privacy friendly online transactions"

I came across this and it's looks interesting it seems to have been out for a while and seems to work well in the demo.

it sounds a bit like Blockchain, but it doesn't seem to be. which i would think makes it more appealing because the setup was easy... but i can't find any examples of it being used in the wild.

i was expecting to see more cases that used it when i saw there is funding for it from https://nlnet.nl/

i think this could be good to add into my app. but i wonder if it might not be a good idea if it hasnt established itself as reliable in the wild.

It's very possible that the digital Euro will be a GNU taler system.

n 2020 the project received a grant from NLnet and the European Commission's Horizon 2020 Next

The European Commission is the Executive Arm of the EU.

Commission is not involved in developing the digital euro, afaik. Am I missing something?
