Credo is a framework written in TypeScript for building SSI Agents and DIDComm services that aims to be compliant and interoperable with the standards defined in the Aries RFCs.

Note The Aries Framework JavaScript project has recently been rebranded to "Credo" and was moved from the Hyperledger Foundation to the Open Wallet Foundation. We are currently in the process of changing the name of the project to Credo, and updating all the documentation and links to reflect this change. You may encounter some broken links, or references to the old name, but we are working hard to fix this. Once the new name has been decided we will update this README and all the documentation to reflect this change. You can follow this discussion for updates about the name: https://github.com/openwallet-foundation/agent-framework-javascript/discussions/1668
