Agenda

• Record the meeting
• Credential delay
  • First credential exchange has big delay from accepting offer to receiving credential
  • Doesn't return did when it has found it on one ledger, continues to resolve it from all ledgers
  • the more ledgers added, the larger the delay
  • Qualified dids can provide a solution to this (Because we don't need to fetch the did from all ledgers)
• DIDComm v2 support
  • https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-javascript/pull/1096
  • Main points:
    • Do not add didcomm libarry to core, should be dynamically registered as didcomm/signing/key provider
    • Keys should not leave the wallet, rather the content should be given to the wallet and signed / encrypted content should be returned
