  • Progress on Aries Framework JavaScript in implementing Aries Interop v2.0 (AIP 2.0), and its capability as the foundation of an Bifold, an Aries React Native mobile wallet.
  • An "Aries Mobile Summit" was held and significant progress as been made in open source mobile wallet delivery velocity. There are now Aries React Native mobile wallets being deployed by various groups into the App Stores.
  • A new repo "aries-mediator-service" has been created that can be used by mobile Wallet providers as an Aries Mediator to enable communication between the mobile wallet and all other Aries agent. The repo is built on the latest ACA-Py release configured to act as an Aries mediator.
  • Continued progress on the Aries VCX framework toward AIP 2.0, a Rust-based framework suitable for use in a number of server-side and mobile use cases.
  • Continued evolution of the open source implementation of the Aries Interop Profile RFCs by the FIndy (Finland) project.
  • The Aries Agent Test Harness, continues to be a focal point for the community in verifying interoperability, with ongoing adjustments based on test results as the various frameworks evolve.
  • A new Aries Mobile Test Harness was added for automating the testing of Aries Mobile Wallets.

There continues to be lots of delivered, verified code, let alone the increases in participation and use of Aries.

  • There has been a significant growth in building common code for mobile wallet apps using both Aries Framework JavaScript and Aries VCX.
    • This is the same as in the last quarterly report – it was correct this past quarter and will continue to be so as Aries Framework JavaScript implements Aries Interop Profile 2.0 and mobile wallets are released.
  • Most Aries teams are focused on adding the core capabilities of AIP 2.0 to their code bases. the work is nearing completion in Aries VCX, Aries Framework JavaScript and Aries Cloud Agent Python.
  • A focus on standardizing AnonCreds to provide increased comfort of the solid foundation in Aries and use beyond Aries.
  • The ACA-Py team is looking at what more needs to be done to jump to an ACA-Py 1.0.0 release.

Maintainer Diversity

Aries is a multi-codebase effort, and each codebase has its own set of maintainers. The diversity of maintainers closely matches contributors, with notes below.  Cross framework collaboration continues to increase through the use of the Aries Agent Test Harness. For example, interop tests are executed daily across the Python, Go, .NET, Rust (VCX) and JavaScript frameworks, plus two non-Hyperledger implementations of Aries.
