About Us
Our Mission
The Interledger Foundation is a non-profit advocate for the web, promoting innovation, creativity, and inclusion by advancing open payment standards and technologies that seamlessly connect our global society.

We Believe
Monetary interaction should be as easy as information exchange.
Humans should be able to transfer their money with each other without any barriers or friction.
The unbanked and underbanked should have equitable access.
Content creators and digital innovators should be fairly compensated.
All of the work we do is to connect and benefit each and every human, regardless of identity, geography, or income.
In short, we believe connecting all currencies is connecting all of humanity.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
We are committed to building fair and equitable pathways to financial access. And all of the work we do is to connect and benefit each and every human, regardless of identity, geography, or income.
Financial exclusion and scarcity have often been a tool for oppression, discrimination, and systemic inequity. The Interledger Foundation is committed to building financial systems to include voices that have been traditionally excluded. Our extraordinarily ambitious goal is to decentralize power, privilege, and financial control.
