Whether you write code, run a fintech, shape policy, conduct research, organize communities, or are simply interested in open payments, there is a place for you here.
Every movement grows through the people who believe in it, contribute to it, and imagine what it could become. For years, the Interledger community has brought together people working toward a more open and inclusive financial system. Now, we’re taking the next step with the launch of Interledger Membership, creating new ways to connect, participate, and help shape the future of our community. And since this program is just beginning, you can help shape what it becomes.
The internet runs on open standards: protocols no single company owns that let any network exchange information with any other. We believe that money should move the same way, and that when it does, opportunity will follow.
Membership brings you inside the work and gives you a say in where it goes. Connect with a global community and get special access, opportunities, and recognition for your contributions.
Membership is open to people who have connected with us in one of these ways:
Once you’ve done one, we’ll invite you to become a Member.
Become a Member by November 17 to vote on the holiday design contest and receive a custom sticker!
You don’t have to join the Membership right away to get involved. Whether you are a Member or not, there are four ways to get involved, and most people move between them over time. Start wherever fits, and follow the threads that interest you.
For the people who make payments actually move.
If you write code, run a wallet, or just want to see how far you can push Open Payments in a weekend, this is your corner. Get one payment working, then find out what you can build on top of it.
Technology alone doesn’t create change, people do.
The community spans dozens of countries and every discipline that touches financial access, from code to policy to research to organizing on the ground. Come introduce yourself and see what everyone is working on.
It all makes more sense once you see how the pieces fit.
Dig into how open payments work, why the system is built this way, who it impacts most, and where it is heading, straight from the people building it.
Open systems do not build themselves
Support our mission and our work - through a partnership, by applying for grant, or making a donation - and help it reach the people traditional finance leaves out.
This is a global effort, and the numbers show it.
If you are new and not sure where you fit, the best first step is to join the Interledger Slack (opens in a new tab) and introduce yourself. The community spans dozens of countries and a wide range of disciplines. Join us and say hi, the community team is happy to welcome and support your journey.
Alternatively , a great way to learn more about Interledger is by joining one of our Community Calls. It’s the easiest way to find out more about us and the work being undertaken by our community.
They’re hosted on the second Wednesday of each month, at 3:00 PM UTC.
