Framework Go
-Hyperledger Aries Framework Go enables trusted communication and data exchange based on interoperable distributed ledger technologies (DLTs) and peer-to-peer (P2P) interactions.
-We provide a flexible toolkit to enable the usage of decentralized identifiers (DIDs), DID-to-DID communications, verifiable credential exchange, transaction authorizations, and data communication protocols. From these building blocks, implementors can build agents, mediators and other DIDComm features in a manner that is agnostic to a particular DID network or governance framework.
-
-We aim to provide Go implementations of:
-
-- Decentralized identity standards including [W3C decentralized identifiers](https://w3c.github.io/did-core/) (DIDs), [W3C DID resolution](https://w3c-ccg.github.io/did-resolution/), and [W3C verifiable credentials](https://w3c.github.io/vc-data-model/).
-- Decentralized data communication protocols anchored in DIDs: [DIDComm](https://github.com/hyperledger/aries-rfcs/blob/master/concepts/0005-didcomm).
-- A pluggable dependency framework, where implementors can customize primitives via Service Provider Interfaces (SPIs). We have a "batteries included" model where default primitives are included -- such as a [key management system (KMS)](docs/kms_secretlock.md), crypto, data storage, encrypted data vault integration, etc.
-
-We aim to enable usage of our protocol implementations in a wide variety of edge and cloud environments including servers, browsers, mobile, and devices.
-API bindings are supplied to enable these environments including:
-
-- Go
-- REST
-- JavaScript / WebAssembly
-- Android
-- iOS
-- C (future)
-
-We implement demonstrations and test cases, that require a ledger system, using [DIF Sidetree protocol](https://github.com/decentralized-identity/sidetree/blob/master/docs/protocol.md) as this protocol enables generic decentralized ledger systems to operate as a DID network.

-## Documentation
-Aries Framework Go documentation can be viewed at [GoDoc](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-go). The project structure is described [here](docs/project_structure.md).
-
-The project structure for the mobile bindings can be found [here](cmd/aries-agent-mobile/doc/project_structure.md).
-
-The packages intended for end developer usage are within the [pkg/client](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-go/pkg/client) folder along with the main agent package ([pkg/framework/aries](https://pkg.go.dev/github.com/hyperledger/aries-framework-go/pkg/framework/aries)).
-
-The project can also be used as a [DIDComm Router/Mediator](docs/didcomm_mediator.md).
