We Build the Tech
We steward open standards and build infrastructure so financial systems can connect once, and integrate with many.
Rewriting the rules that move money
We build open infrastructure, fund the people implementing it, and collaborate with regulators and institutions to make open financial systems work in the real world.
Our Financial Systems Weren't Built to Work Together
Today, money runs on systems that were never designed to work together. Each has its own rules, formats, and ways of connecting.
That's if they connect at all.
For the institutions trying to get these systems to talk to each other, it's expensive and slow. For the people those institutions serve, it's worse: higher costs, fewer options, and for over a billion people, no real access at all.
The Interledger Foundation is changing that.
We see a world where money moves freely and opportunity follows.
Making Money Move like Data
The internet was built on open standards. Protocols that no single company owned, that anyone could build on, and that made global information exchange possible.
Money should move the same way: reliably, across systems, using one set of rules.
No permission required at the center, no rebuilding the connection for every new partner. Just open infrastructure that creates opportunities for people, businesses and economies across the globe.
About us
Real-world Progress
From early experiments to real-world systems, this is what progress looks like in practice.
Open Standards, Independently Governed
Open standards only stay open if the organization behind them has no reason to close them.
The Interledger Protocol and Open Payments are stewarded by a foundation with no commercial stake in either. We have no fees, no investors, and no business model that benefits from closing what was built openly.
The standards exist for public benefit, and the Interledger Foundation was founded and structured to keep them that way.
