How to retrieve policies

Relying parties can retrieve Ecosystem policies to check whether:

An issuer is allowed to issue a certain credential type in the ecosystem.
A verifier is allowed to verify a certain credential type in the ecosystem.

Once the policy is retrieved, relying parties can apply their own business logic based when applying the policy rules and permissions.
