Note
Work in progress.
The framework has two distinctive parts.
- A core that is developed by the Fetch.ai team as well as external contributors.
- Extensions (also known as packages) developed by any developer which promotes a modular and scalable framework.
Currently, the framework supports three types of packages which can be added to the core as modules:
- Skills
- Protocols
- Connections
The following figure illustrates the framework's architecture:
In most cases, as a developer in the AEA framework, it is sufficient to focus on skills development, utilising existing protocols and connections.
