• you can pick them up later from mediator service using pick up protocol

Mediator/ Agency are useful for scenarios like mobile phone agents which can't always receive messages. Due to reasons including:

...

• Written in NodeJS. A Rust based mediator service would be desirable for better integration with vcx
• Does not support pick up protocol (uses custom data exchange)
