Interledger Foundation

Interledger Foundation - Internet of Opportunity

Overview

The Interledger Foundation stewards the Interledger Protocol (ILP)—free, open-source technology connecting financial systems worldwide. Built on the same principles as the Internet (openness, interoperability, universality), Interledger enables banks, mobile money systems, fintech platforms, and payment networks to work together.

Core Technology

Interledger Protocol (ILP)

An open protocol for routing payments across any payment network, enabling value transfer between previously incompatible systems.

Design Principles

• Openness: Free, open-source protocol
• Interoperability: Connect any payment system
• Universality: Works globally across jurisdictions

Mission

"The Internet connected people. Then it connected devices. Now, it's connecting financial systems."

Key Activities

• Protocol development and maintenance
• Grant programs for ILP adoption
• Community events (Interledger Summit)
• Educational resources and content

Why Interledger

Interledger provides the foundational protocol layer for payment interoperability, enabling a world where value moves as freely as information on the Internet.
