Pay securely with an Android smartphone, completely without Google services: This is the plan being developed by the newly founded industry consortium led by the German Volla Systeme GmbH. It is an open-source alternative to Google Play Integrity. This proprietary interface decides on Android smartphones with Google Play services whether banking, government, or wallet apps are allowed to run on a smartphone.

Before you buy into graphene's BS, this is completely open source and no one is stopping Graphene from joining the consortium, well other than the voices in Mikay's head.

Graphene doesn't say it's not open source. Graphene critizes that the manufacturer decides what operating system the user may use.
