Digital identity is a foundational part of how we access services, verify information, and interact online. But traditional systems are centralized, fragmented, and prone to breaches. This project aims to change that.

PwC and SKChain are developing a self-sovereign identity (SSI) solution that complies with the EU’s eIDAS 2.0 regulation and supports the European Digital Identity (EUDI) wallet initiative. Instead of storing your data in centralized databases, SSI allows users to fully own and control their personal information, sharing it only when necessary, and only with permission.

Built on World Mobile Chain

The solution is being built on World Mobile Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain that rolls up to Base, Coinbase’s Ethereum Layer 2. That means:

  • Enterprise-grade scalability
  • Low-cost, high-speed infrastructure
  • Built-in privacy features
  • Support for telecom-grade decentralized infrastructure (DePIN)

World Mobile Chain provides the flexibility and performance needed to deploy digital identity solutions at scale without sacrificing user control or security.

The role of PwC and SKChain

  • PwC Italy brings regulatory insight and enterprise adoption expertise. Its Blockchain Competence Center has already worked on digital identity frameworks across healthcare, finance, and public infrastructure.
  • SKChain Advisors handles blockchain architecture and implementation, with deep experience taking Web3 systems from concept to market.

Together, they’re delivering a compliant, scalable, and privacy-first identity product designed for both Web3 and traditional enterprise use cases.

The bigger picture

This isn’t just a pilot or concept. The feasibility study is done. Development is underway. The goal is to give European citizens and companies a real, working solution for secure digital access - one that protects privacy while meeting the technical and legal requirements of a modern identity framework.

Key takeaways

  • A self-sovereign identity product is being built by PwC Italy and SKChain Advisors
  • It runs on World Mobile Chain, a Layer 3 blockchain designed for decentralized infrastructure
  • It supports the goals of eIDAS 2.0 and the European Digital Identity Wallet
  • It puts users in control of their data and privacy
  • It shows the real-world enterprise potential of World Mobile’s blockchain infrastructure

This is a major validation of World Mobile Chain’s ability to support DePIN, telecom, and regulated Web3 services all while staying scalable and user-focused.

Wow, this is massive.

PwC might not show up on Fortune 500 lists, but they’re everywhere behind the scenes, auditing and advising pretty much every major company in the world. And over the years, they’ve grown way beyond accounting. Tech consulting, blockchain, digital identity… it’s a huge part of what they do now.

So for them to partner with SKChain and choose to build on World Mobile Chain? That says a lot. It’s not just validation, it shows that WMC is being taken seriously at an enterprise level.

Also really cool to see World Mobile Chain positioned as the infrastructure layer for something as big as EU digital identity. This is way beyond telco now.

Love this news! PwC is a big one. $55B+ revenue, 370k+ employees, clients in almost every major industry. Tthe signal is loud and clear: one of the most established professional firms in the world is choosing to build on World Mobile Chain before mainnet is even live.

And it’s not some vague partnership, this is real infrastructure, tied to EU regulations, digital ID, and self-sovereign identity. This validates what many of us have been saying for a while: World Mobile isn’t just a telco disruptor, it’s building serious Web3 rails for enterprise and public sector use cases.

Huge respect to the team for landing this. Feels like we’re just getting started.

Real utility season has started. Been behind World Mobile since day 1, saw the vision and here it is playing out. This is how real-world adoption happens. Serious builders, serious partners, and real use cases.

And this is just the start… unbelievably bullish.
