I have seen 0 articles relating GNU Taler with the digital Euro, and I am very worried this incredible project will end nowhere. Because the digital Euro is definitely coming and that would be the moment to put Taler to work.

Taler has a completely different application. Digital euro won't use it

AFAIK Taler is for payments, the Digital Euro is for storing value.

Yes, but also, your Taler wallet stores value too, I guess.

In any case, I wonder why Taler has not made it a point that they are (or could) be a payment system for the digital euro.
