I suspect many project people who were at Discover doing that trial are no longer there and have moved on (to Apple Card or other companies). There is still not a peep from Discover about offering a current generation contactless card option. They do have the technical standard, so it seems that people using their Discover via mobile wallets should be fine if the merchant processor/acquirer has coded in their "D-PAS" standard. It would be great if someone knew if it was working.
Pretty sure the standard certification test cards include Discover contactless test cards. So they support it, they just haven't chosen to roll it out yet. https://b2ps.com/products/b2-emv-test-card-sets/
