I'll offer this article that Inrupt linked to in their latest newsletter. Apparently already published at the start of this month. Lots of it is vague and hand-wavy, so I'm not sure what to think yet, although the future sketched by the author in the intro sounds fairly dystopian: https://thenextweb.com/news/eu-digital-id-supports-universal-digital-wallet

@noeldemartin This is a very worrying development, inrupt never really participated in the Solid community which is bad enough and now they seem to actively working against everything we are doing. -
@noeldemartin This is a very worrying development, inrupt never really participated in the Solid community which is bad enough and now they seem to actively working against everything we are doing.@angelo @noeldemartin It is open source at least, so there's that: https://github.com/inrupt/inrupt-data-wallet
Looks to be a fairly basic API. I wouldn't necessarily say that it's working *against* Solid, as much as that it looks like it doesn't have much to do with Solid. Just yet another enterprise service.
As for what Tim thinks: https://www.inrupt.com/solutions/data-wallet
> Data Wallets will drive a user-centric Web 3.0.
(No mentions of Solid. So maybe a pivot away from Solid?)
