There is an EU fund for silly projects like Gaia-X which are mostly about vanity rather than actually producing anything useful. I am suggesting they've formed a non-profit to try and benefit from this fund.
Yeah I don't see what's silly about providing a resolver with the features being offered, no matter the "EU" branding or official project funding. Right off the bat I'm willing to bet these guys are more genuine and honest about privacy/integrity than e.g. Google.
Gaia-X isn't EU funded, it was just endorsed by EU parliament members. It's actually funded by different entities in the manufacturing industries (like car manufacturers). EU funded projects have distinctive markers on their pages.
