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

Could you expand?

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.
