Crunchfish to Present at Digital Euro Conference 2026: Enabling Offline Payments at Scale

As digital payment systems become foundational to modern economies, the ability to operate seamlessly offline is increasingly viewed as essential for resilience, inclusion, and preparedness. Crunchfish's approach to governed offline payments demonstrates how digital money can continue to function securely without requiring constant network access, while remaining fully aligned with existing financial infrastructure.

Joachim Samuelsson's keynote, titled "Enabling Offline Payments at Scale as Digital Money," will take place from 10:40 to 11:00 CET and will address one of the most critical challenges in the evolution of digital money: how to ensure payments remain resilient and functional even when connectivity is unavailable.

The presentation builds on Crunchfish's latest whitepaper, which outlines a model for offline payments based on payer-controlled conditional settlement, where transactions are initiated offline and settled once predefined conditions are fulfilled. This architecture enables a controlled and auditable process for deferred settlement, supporting both security and scalability in offline scenarios.

"Offline capability is not a feature. It is a requirement for any robust digital money system," said Joachim Samuelsson, CEO of Crunchfish. "The question is no longer if digital money should work offline, but how to implement it in a bankable, implementable, and governed way."

The Digital Euro Conference gathers policymakers, central banks, and industry leaders to discuss the design and implementation of digital currencies, including CBDCs and next-generation payment infrastructures.
