Re: DIDKit: A Cross-Platform Toolkit for VCs + DIDs

Hi Wayne,

Amazing to see this work on handling VCs and DIDs, thanks 🙏🏽 for sharing
with the community!
Checking out the pre-release kit and docs!

Would get in touch re: our roadmap on Universal Resolver drivers,
supporting multiple DIDs and VCs esp. for SafeTravel integrations with
other travel and health partners.

Cheers!
Kishore
