In this Future Money Podcast episode, host Sabine Schaller converses with Stefan Thomas and Evan Schwartz, the Interledger Protocol (ILP) co-creators. They explore ILP’s development journey, scalability, and its potential to create a universal payment network.

The conversation delves into their design process, which aims to simplify and route payments seamlessly across different networks, much like how the Internet handles data.

The discussion also touches on future outlooks, focusing on automated transactions, Dassi (a peer-to-peer implementation driving ILP adoption), ILDCP’s potential, and community involvement through events like the Interledger Summit in Cape Town and hackathons.

At this year’s summit, Stefan Thomas will present his keynote, “How I Learned to Love Packetization,” which you can view through the Interledger Summit livestream on Saturday, October 26, 2024 10:00 AM (30 minutes).
