- During this interactive session, we will deep-dive into the capabilities of Hyperledger Aries, an open-source project aimed at managing digital identities rooted in blockchain or other distributed ledger technology. Aries includes a shared cryptographic wallet for blockchain clients, along with a set of protocols for enabling decentralized identity.
