    • AATH – tests implemented for did:peer:1, 2, 4
    • PR 2748 with fixes for Credo/ACA-Py for did:peer:4
      • Before 0.5.0 there was not a framework that does did:peer:2 or 4 in a standard way.
      • Perhaps – we should do did:peer:1 emit in ACA-Py (we already do receive).
    • Want to get Credo working for AATH – upgrade to backchannel controller for DID Exchange and OOB, restart the agent with new settings for everything
      • Sheldon is looking at this – starting with devcontainers so that a local environment is not needed.
      • Pick the devcontainer when you start the project – good pattern for the use of devcontainers on our repos

    • Bottom line summary – 310/issuances per minute.
    • Some changes to be pushed into Akrida
  • DRPC Support – Aries RFC 804 PR - work is completed, documentation has been passed and a demo being done.
  • ACA-Py Issue 2000 – moving webhooks – Race condition in issue-credential v1.0 leads to credential exchange switching to abandoned state
