A Drop-In 'Sign In With Your EU Wallet' For Indie And Self-Hosted Apps, Because The eIDAS 2.0 Deadline Is Here And The Only Options Are Heavy Enterprise Stacks

api service real project •• multiple requests

eIDAS 2.0 forces EU relying parties to accept EU Digital Identity Wallet logins (OID4VP) by January 2027, and developers are now asking for it in the tools they actually run. Keycloak, the default self-hosted identity server, has no native support, and the alternatives are enterprise identity platforms. The opening is a Clerk/Auth0-style, low-friction 'accept an EU wallet credential' drop-in for small teams.

builder note

Do not try to out-walt.id on the full credential lifecycle. The wedge is purely the verifier/relying-party side ('accept an EU wallet login') packaged for people who currently use Clerk/Auth0/Keycloak, with the regulatory deadline as your built-in urgency.

landscape (3 existing solutions)

The protocol layer exists and the big vendors sell it, but everything is pitched at banks and governments. The gap is a cheap, maintained, indie-friendly verifier (especially a first-class Keycloak path) so a two-person EU SaaS can become wallet-ready before the 2027 deadline without buying an identity platform.

walt.id Community Stack / SDK Full OID4VP/OID4VCI SDK, but it is an infrastructure stack you adopt and operate, aimed at organizations, not a five-minute 'add a login button' for a side project.
Sphereon / Talao / Authlete (EUDI-as-a-service) Enterprise/regulated-sector pricing and onboarding. Overkill and over-budget for indie devs, small SaaS, and self-hosters who just need to accept a PID credential.
kshitij1708/eudi-wallet-keycloak (community plugin) Unofficial single-maintainer Keycloak plugin. Shows the appetite, but it is not native, not guaranteed maintained, and risky to bet a compliance deadline on.
