 # Wallet Framework for .NET
 
-Wallet Framework for .NET is an open framework for building digital identity wallets. The framework was initiated as [Aries Framework .NET](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-dotnet) in the Hyperledger Foundation and was forked to express the goal to broaden the supported identity protocols, especially with regard to [OID4VC](https://openid.net/openid4vc/) and [SD-JWT](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-selective-disclosure-jwt-05).
+Wallet Framework for .NET is an open framework for building digital identity wallets with a focus on [OID4VC](https://openid.net/openid4vc/), [SD-JWT](https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/draft-ietf-oauth-selective-disclosure-jwt-05) and mdoc (ISO/IEC 18013-5).

+The framework was initiated as Aries Framework .NET in the Hyperledger Foundation. The Hyperledger Aries and Indy components have been deprecated, are now considered legacy and will not be supported anymore.

-## Quickstart Guide
-
-The framework fully leverages the [.NET Core hosting model](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/fundamentals/host/generic-host?view=aspnetcore-3.0) with full integration of dependency injection, configuration and hosting services.
-
-### Prerequisites
-
-- Install [.NET Core](https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download)
-- Install [libindy for your platform](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk/#installing-the-sdk)
-
-### Create new web application
-
-Using your favorite editor, create new web project. You can also create a project from the console.
-
-```bash
-dotnet new web -o AriesAgent
-```
-
-To setup your agent use the `Startup.cs` file to configure the framework.
-
-### Add the framework dependencies
-
-Use the `IServiceCollection` extensions to add the dependent services to your application in the `ConfigureServices(IServiceCollection services)` method. Upon startup, the framework will create and configure your agent.
-
-```c#
-services.AddAriesFramework(builder =>
-{
-    builder.RegisterAgent(options =>
-    {
-        options.EndpointUri = "http://localhost:5000/";
-    });
-});
-```
-
-> Note: If you'd like your agent to be accessible publically, use Ngrok to setup a public host and use that as the `EndpointUri`.
-> When changing the endpoints, make sure you clear any previous wallets with the old configuration. Wallet data files are located in `~/.indy_client/wallet`
-
-For a list of all configuration options, check the [AgentOptions.cs](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-dotnet/blob/master/src/Hyperledger.Aries/Configuration/AgentOptions.cs) file.
-
-### Register the agent middleware
-
-When running web applications, register the agent middleware in the `Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IWebHostEnvironment env)` method. This will setup a middleware in the AspNetCore pipeline that will respond to incoming agent messages.
-
-```c#
-app.UseAriesFramework();
-```
-
-That's it. Run your project.
-
-## Demo
-
-With [Docker](https://www.docker.com) installed, run
-
-```lang=bash
-docker-compose up
-```
-
-This will create an agent network with a pool of 4 indy nodes and 2 agents able to communicate with each other in the network.
-Navigate to [http://localhost:7000](http://localhost:7000) and [http://localhost:8000](http://localhost:8000) to create and accept connection invitations between the different agents.
-
-
-## Testing
-
-To run the unit tests, the following dependencies also must be installed: 
-- Docker
-
-### Install libindy library
-Follow the build instructions for your OS on the [Hyperledger Indy SDK](https://github.com/hyperledger/indy-sdk) Readme. 
-
-For macOS, if you get a `'indy' DLL not found exception`, move the built `libindy.dylib` file to the `test/Hyperledger.Aries.Tests/bin/Debug/netcoreapp3.1/` directory to explicitly add it to the path. 
-
-
-### Run an indy node pool on localhost
-```
-docker build --build-arg pool_ip=127.0.0.1 -f docker/indy-pool.dockerfile -t indy_pool docker/
-docker run -itd -p 9701-9709:9701-9709 indy_pool
-```
-
-### Run an indy node pool on server
-```
-# replace <ip_address> with server IP address
-docker build --build-arg pool_ip=<ip_address> -f docker/indy-pool.dockerfile -t indy_pool docker/
-docker run -itd -p <ip_address>:9701-9709:9701-9709 indy_pool
-```
-
-### Run the tests
-First, edit the keyword in the `scripts/tester.sh` file to select the tests you want to run. Then, run the script
-```
-scripts/tester.sh 
-```
-
 ## Releases / Versioning
 This Repository includes a github actions pipeline which builds and releases the wallet framework whenever a Pull Request is submitted or a merge to the main branch happens.
 When the build and release process is triggered by a pull request the build version has a "pr" suffix.
