Hyperledger Ursa (a shared cryptographic library) has moved to end-of-life status, with the components of Ursa still in use moved to their relevant Hyperledger projects (AnonCreds, Indy, Aries and Iroha). (by hyperledger-archives)

Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Hyperledger SSI Ecosystem
In the beginning, there was no Ursa or Aries, just Indy with all functionality together. As time went by, the Hyperledger community realized that there are a lot of useful cryptographic primitives which can be extracted and used by other Hyperledger projects. That’s the reason why Ursa has been created. It’s only one ursa repository containing encryption, signatures, and zero-knowledge algorithms. I’m not a cryptographer, and I’ve been working mainly with Indy and Aries, so I don’t know many details about it. I will leave that investigation up to you if you need to learn more. However, for many SSI use case implementations, you will be good just with knowledge of Indy and Aries.

Fellow Cosmos holders, I found this to be an interesting share. Apparently Cosmos - dubbed as the internet of blockchains owing to its interoperability - has the Thai government using it for identity verification. That's widely considered as the holy grail in crypto.
Only little is known about what this exactly means. Best is to assume (and hope) that no personal data is stored on-chain. They should implement it as a Self-Sovereign Identity application using Hyperledger Aries where only issuers of credentials need to store their decentralized identifier (DID) on-chain. Usually, SSI is 99% off-chain.

Hyperledger SSI Ecosystem
In the indy-sdk section, I described that it provides functionality to create DIDs, credentials, proofs, etc. Now, you need a way to securely exchange those items in an interoperable and portable way according to SSI principles. That’s the goal of the Aries project. The specification of the protocol is in aries-rfcs, which originated from an older project, indy-hipe (the protocol was part of Indy in the beginning).

Sphereon on DID/VC and LTO Network
and Sphereon's solution will useW3 DiD foundation with SSI Standards around a wallet based on HyperLedger Aries V2
What are some alternatives?
When comparing ursa and aries-rfcs you can also consider the following projects:
aries-askar - Secure storage designed for Hyperledger Aries agents.
verity
indy-sdk - indy-sdk
indy-vdr - A library and proxy server for interacting with Hyperledger Indy Node ledger instances
credo-ts - Typescript framework for building decentralized identity and verifiable credential solutions
indy-node - The server portion of a distributed ledger purpose-built for decentralized identity.
