About the Interledger Foundation
The Interledger Foundation is working towards a more equitable and creative global society through an open payments network that connects and benefits each human, regardless of identity, geography, or income. To drive this vision forward we:
- Connect a powerful community of web advocates and leaders
- Promote creative and innovative solutions to connecting humanity
- Steward technology and standards work that advances open payment technology
Financial exclusion and scarcity have often been a tool for oppression, discrimination, and systemic inequity.

Our extraordinarily ambitious goal is to decentralize power, privilege, and financial control.
