With this project we propose to research & design an Interledger-based payment protocol that extends our existing Open Source SSI stack to enable micropayments when exchanging W3C Verifiable Credentials. This will enable multiple use cases, bringing great value to the Web Monetization but also to the SSI ecosystems.

    Regulation, including GDPR, consumer law and privacy, presents a barrier to entry to implementing Web Monetization standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop a suite of legal texts including a template for generating a GDPR record of processing, a privacy policy, a generic terms of use, and consumer terms for using Web Monetization Standard and Interledger Protocol. We will develop them in the open, and make them available under a Creative Commons Attribution licence. We want people implementing Web Monetization to concentrate on providing excellent content and a great user experience, and not have to waste time and resources on unnecessarily expensive and time-consuming routes to compliance with legal regulation.
