In addition to the work on the engine itself, one of the primary workstreams at present is to complete Bruce Conrad’s excellent work to use DIDs and DIDComm as the basis for inter-pico communication, called ACA-Pico (Aries Cloud Agent - Pico). […] This work is important because it will replace the current subscriptions method of connecting heterarchies of picos with DIDComm. […] because DIDComm is protocological, this will support protocol-based interactions between picos, including credential exchange.
every pico is serverless and cloud-native, presenting an API that can be fully customized by developers. Because they’re persistent, picos support databaseless programming with intuitive data isolation. As an actor-model programming system, different picos can operate concurrently without the need for locks, making them a natural choice for easily building decentralized systems. W3C Press Release - Decentralized Identifiers (DIDs) v1.0 becomes a W3C Recommendation worth reading to see who contributed comments (and notice who didn’t)
For individuals in particular, DIDs can put them back in control of their personal data and consent, and also enable more respectful bi-directional trust relationships where forgery is prevented, privacy is honored, and usability is enhanced.

Pico is short for “Persistent Compute Objects.”

What are Picos?
Pico Engine 1.0 released in January
Picos show that image-based development can be done in a manner consistent with the best practices we use today without losing the important benefits it brings.
The project name, PICOS, is an abbreviation of “Privacy and Identity Management for Community Services”. The objective of the project is to advance the state of the art in technologies that provide privacy-enhanced identity and trust management features within complex community-supporting services that are built on Next Generation Networks and delivered by multiple communication service providers. The approach taken by the project is to research, develop, build trial and evaluate an open, privacy-respecting, trust-enabling identity management platform that supports the provision of community services by mobile communication service providers.
Learn more about the motivation, the objectives, tasks and achievements of PICOS, and get to know the PICOS exemplary communities.
- Announcing Pico Engine 1.0 Windley
I’m excited to announce a new, stable, production-ready pico engine. The latest release of the Pico Engine (1.X) provides a more modular design that better supports future enhancements and allows picos to be less dependent on a specific engine for operation.
Summary: Picos are a programming model for building decentralized applications that provide significant benefits in the form of abstractions that reduce programmer effort. Here are ten eleven reasons you should use picos for your next decentralized application.
