Cardano’s parent company, IOG, has decided to discontinue Atala Prism, a project that was originally planned for implementation in Ethiopia. The decision to axe Atala Prism comes as a surprise, as it was once seen as a promising initiative. Atala Prism was intended to provide digital identities for Ethiopian citizens, but it seems that IOG has decided to shift its focus elsewhere. This development may disappoint those who were looking forward to the implementation of Atala Prism in Ethiopia, but it also signals a change in priorities for IOG. It remains to be seen what the company’s next steps will be in the realm of digital identity solutions.
