      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a recap of our 13th May 2026 Interledger Community Call, including a summary of the meeting and links to the recordings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes, Recording and Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T_Q_eRZtL8GluJR9rVADd7fvkB8mPluMk-d96LM4vlg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.yzqq865gbg89" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Public note-taking document here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look: &lt;strong&gt;Digital cash, made socially responsible | GNU Taler&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For May’s community call, we had &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://taler-systems.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Taler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project - "Digital cash, made socially responsible | GNU Taler".&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-N9b711xhSs" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Presentation and demo here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About GNU Taler:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
GNU Taler is a Free Software privacy-friendly payment system from the&lt;br&gt;
GNU project.  Taler does not use a blockchain: monetary policies are&lt;br&gt;
expected to be set by a central bank.  Digital money can be issued either by retail banks or by the central bank. Paying with Taler is&lt;br&gt;
extremely efficient: customers authorize transactions with one click,&lt;br&gt;
and then the system takes only a few milliseconds to finalize the&lt;br&gt;
transactions. In this talk, we will introduce the political goals,&lt;br&gt;
architecture and technology behind Taler, demonstrate the current state of the art and outline likely future developments. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Christian Grothoff is a professor for computer network security at the Bern University of Applied Sciences, researching future Internet architectures. His research interests include compilers, programming languages, software engineering, networking, security and privacy.&lt;br&gt;
He is a GNU maintainer and co-founder of Taler Systems SA.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Interledger Community Call: PCH Mexico | 10 June 2026</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Join us for our May Interledger Community Call on &lt;strong&gt;10 June 2026&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Interledger community calls shall be once a month, on the second Wednesday of each month.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look: &lt;strong&gt;People's Clearinghouse (PCH)&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For June’s community call, we will have the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://lacamara.mx/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;People's Clearinghouse (PCH)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About People's Clearinghouse (PCH):&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/HrsTRCZQ0uMh6DhO7lRjpMoPWRIQbRb0Drg2MGy5awk/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzlkZXRueHcx/M2Y0MnhvMnprajNw/LmpwZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/HrsTRCZQ0uMh6DhO7lRjpMoPWRIQbRb0Drg2MGy5awk/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzlkZXRueHcx/M2Y0MnhvMnprajNw/LmpwZw" alt=" " width="" height=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;
People's Clearinghouse (PCH) is a digital payments platform designed to interconnect community banks and savings cooperatives in Mexico, among themselves, with the national financial system, and with international networks for account-deposited remittances. Built on the basis of open-source technology (Rafiki, Mojaloop, ILP), PCH is led by the Mexican Association of Social Sector Credit Unions (AMUCSS), an organization with four decades of experience building community-owned financial institutions in rural and indigenous regions. By routing remittances directly into community bank accounts rather than into cash, PCH aims to create a virtuous cycle: more local capital, more credit for productive projects, less inequality, and less forced migration.&lt;/p&gt;

  Open Payments Month and Open Payments Accelerator:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.interledger.org/open-payments-learning" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Open Payments Month (June 1 - June 30)&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What is Open Payments Learning Month?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Thirty days of hands-on, self-paced learning to take you from knowing that Open Payments exists to running your first transaction running in the test environment. The program includes live talks and sessions throughout the month. The time commitment is flexible, though we recommend a minimum of 6 to 10 hours total over the course of the month. It’s completely free and starts on June 1.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://interledger.org/open-payments-accelerator" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Open Payments Accelerator Launch&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;
The Open Payments Accelerator grant program supports early-stage founders and developers building digital financial services for underserved communities, helping them move from idea to Proof of Concept (PoC) through 4 months of intense mentorship and funding.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Our goal is to lower barriers for innovators, grow a pipeline of Interledger-enabled solutions, and bring more people into accessible, interoperable financial systems.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Timeline: Applications opens on Monday, June 1, 2026 and closes on Tuesday, June 30, 2026 (11:59 PM EDT)&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Time:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Interledger Community Call: Digital cash, made socially responsible - GNU Taler | 13 May 2026</title>
      <dc:creator>Vineel R. Pindi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 07 May 2026 17:51:05 +0000</pubDate>

      <guid>https://community.interledger.org/interledger/interledger-community-call-digital-cash-made-socially-responsible-gnu-taler-13-may-2026-587o</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Join us for our May Interledger Community Call on &lt;strong&gt;13 May 2026&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Interledger community calls shall be once a month, on the second Wednesday of each month.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look: &lt;strong&gt;Digital cash, made socially responsible | GNU Taler&lt;/strong&gt;
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For May’s community call, we will have the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://taler-systems.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Taler&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About GNU Taler:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
GNU Taler is a Free Software privacy-friendly payment system from the&lt;br&gt;
GNU project.  Taler does not use a blockchain: monetary policies are&lt;br&gt;
expected to be set by a central bank.  Digital money can be issued either by retail banks or by the central bank. Paying with Taler is&lt;br&gt;
extremely efficient: customers authorize transactions with one click,&lt;br&gt;
and then the system takes only a few milliseconds to finalize the&lt;br&gt;
transactions. In this talk, we will introduce the political goals,&lt;br&gt;
architecture and technology behind Taler, demonstrate the current state of the art and outline likely future developments. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Speaker:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
Christian Grothoff is a professor for computer network security at the Bern University of Applied Sciences, researching future Internet architectures. His research interests include compilers, programming languages, software engineering, networking, security and privacy.&lt;br&gt;
He is a GNU maintainer and co-founder of Taler Systems SA.&lt;/p&gt;

      <guid>https://community.interledger.org/interledger/interledger-community-call-miplata-presentation-and-demo-205j</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a recap of our 8th April 2026 Interledger Community Call, including a summary of the meeting and links to the recordings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes, Recording and Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T_Q_eRZtL8GluJR9rVADd7fvkB8mPluMk-d96LM4vlg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.f849634qux2u" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Public note-taking document here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For April’s community call, we had &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.miplata.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;miPlata&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;
&lt;a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3LUgUHOWfvI" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Presentation and demo here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About miPlata:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
miPlata is a US-based fintech working with blue-collar businesses to help employees access, spend, and send their paycheck more efficiently. By integrating payroll systems, US debit card products, international money transfer, and stablecoins, miPlata makes it faster, cheaper and safer for employees to support their families across borders. &lt;/p&gt;

  Deeper Look:

&lt;p&gt;For April’s community call, we will have the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://www.miplata.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;miPlata&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About miPlata:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br&gt;
miPlata is a US-based fintech working with blue-collar businesses to help employees access, spend, and send their paycheck more efficiently. By integrating payroll systems, US debit card products, international money transfer, and stablecoins, miPlata makes it faster, cheaper and safer for employees to support their families across borders. &lt;/p&gt;

      <description>&lt;p&gt;If you are an Interledger Foundation Grantee, this post is for you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Interledger Foundation’s work is deeply interconnected with the work of our grantees. As grantees, you are active stakeholders in how we experiment, iterate, and evolve our approach to open payments and digital financial access.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What started as bold experimentation has grown into a shared effort to build real-world, public interest financial infrastructure. Together, we’re shaping a global network of builders advancing open payments and digital financial access.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;From 2020 to 2025, the Interledger Foundation invested $21+ million across 271 projects in 42 countries.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Help us to make more of your work visible, connected, and shared.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Share Your Updates:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’ve created a short form (takes ~5 minutes) where you can submit updates anytime during the month:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4P87EoYi18d-7gYgY_k9AOgocVi-CYV0rBMYbxhvRc7TOlg/viewform" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Interledger Grantee Updates Survey Form 2026&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These updates will be curated into a monthly Interledger Grantee Newsletter. A space to highlight:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Progress or milestones you’re proud of (big or small)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New features, integrations, and experiments&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;New Partnerships and Collaborations&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Recent or upcoming Events, talks, workshops or demos that you are part of &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Research and insights&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Opportunities for peer learning and support&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;What you’re currently building or exploring&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Articles, blogs, videos, or reports&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any calls to action (feedback, connections, support, etc.)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The goal of the grantee community newsletter is for grantees to learn from one another, discover what’s emerging, and find ways to collaborate. And for updates on the overall Interledger Foundation ecosystem, join the &lt;a href="https://interledger.org/subscribe" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Interledger Foundation Newsletter&lt;/a&gt; if you haven’t already.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For your updates to be included in the April edition of the newsletter, please &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSd4P87EoYi18d-7gYgY_k9AOgocVi-CYV0rBMYbxhvRc7TOlg/viewform" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;fill out the survey form before **15th April 2026&lt;/a&gt;.**&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;By sharing updates, you help make your work more visible across the broader grantee ecosystem, surface opportunities for support and feedback, identify common themes and needs and strengthen the collective story of Interledger.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You’re welcome to submit multiple times a month.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We’re excited to build this with you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you have any questions or ideas for the newsletter, feel free to reach out to &lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://community.interledger.org/ayeshaware"&gt;@ayeshaware&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a class="mentioned-user" href="https://community.interledger.org/vineel"&gt;@vineel&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>Interledger Community Call Summary: KanzuCode demo and deeper look</title>

      <description>&lt;p&gt;Here is a recap of our 18th February 2026 Interledger Community Call, including a summary of the meeting and links to the recordings.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Notes, Recording and Podcast&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For March’s community call, we had &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://kanzucode.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;KanzuCode&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;KanzuCode is building an open, instant microloans infrastructure embedded within their flagship platform, Kanzu Banking, and powered by Rafiki and the Interledger Protocol (ILP).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This solution is designed to address the persistent challenges faced by community-based savings groups such as SACCOs, VSLAs, and investment clubs. While these groups play a vital role in grassroots financial inclusion, they continue to face long loan processing times, fragmented systems, and limited access to credit when it’s needed most.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;KanzuCode's aim is to provide a mobile-first, interoperable platform where SACCO members can apply for and receive microloans instantly via mobile wallets—with repayment terms tailored to their needs. By leveraging open payments technology, we are eliminating bottlenecks and enabling true financial agility for underserved communities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Join us for the Interledger Community Call - 11 March 2026 | KanzuCode Demo</title>
      <dc:creator>Vineel R. Pindi</dc:creator>

      <guid>https://community.interledger.org/interledger/join-us-for-the-interledger-community-call-11-march-2026-kanzucode-demo-1g80</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Join us for our February Interledger Community Call on &lt;strong&gt;11 March 2026&lt;/strong&gt;!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Interledger community calls shall be once a month, on the second Wednesday of each month.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look:
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For March’s community call, we will have the &lt;strong&gt;&lt;a href="https://kanzucode.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;KanzuCode&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt; team sharing a deeper look into their project. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;KanzuCode is building an open, instant microloans infrastructure embedded within their flagship platform, Kanzu Banking, and powered by Rafiki and the Interledger Protocol (ILP).&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;This solution is designed to address the persistent challenges faced by community-based savings groups such as SACCOs, VSLAs, and investment clubs. While these groups play a vital role in grassroots financial inclusion, they continue to face long loan processing times, fragmented systems, and limited access to credit when it’s needed most.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;KanzuCode's aim is to provide a mobile-first, interoperable platform where SACCO members can apply for and receive microloans instantly via mobile wallets—with repayment terms tailored to their needs. By leveraging open payments technology, we are eliminating bottlenecks and enabling true financial agility for underserved communities.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

      <title>Building local impact through Community-led initiatives</title>
      <dc:creator>Vineel R. Pindi</dc:creator>
      <pubDate>Thu, 05 Feb 2026 17:54:14 +0000</pubDate>
      <link>https://community.interledger.org/interledger/building-local-impact-through-community-led-initiatives-13j2</link>
      <guid>https://community.interledger.org/interledger/building-local-impact-through-community-led-initiatives-13j2</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;Last week, I spoke at the Builders Guild by HackUnion, a community-driven gathering focused on builders, innovation and hands-on learning.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The session explored how open systems like &lt;a href="https://webmonetization.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Web Monetization&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href="https://interledger.org/open-payments" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;Open Payments&lt;/a&gt; enable a participatory way to build and sustain the Internet of Opportunity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;What stood out was the curiosity of participants. The questions ranged from understanding the open-source journey, to practical use cases, to how individuals can get involved. It often starts with a question and trying to understand how these ideas fit into their own context and reality.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/77EsrgnT5Q3w1QGOAupQD25hoHyf2FDIipuYdm9E21c/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzJrcDljaTF0/cHNxam8wbDltejA2/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/77EsrgnT5Q3w1QGOAupQD25hoHyf2FDIipuYdm9E21c/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzJrcDljaTF0/cHNxam8wbDltejA2/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The HackUnion organizers have been connected with the Interledger Foundation for the past four years and have been actively engaging in the Interledger Hacktoberfest campaign since 2023. This continuity shows how local communities sustain.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Community-led events like Builders Guild by HackUnion remind us of the importance of enabling and supporting real-world, grassroots initiatives to do what they already do well that especially matters locally. Many of these efforts are powered by volunteers who give their time and energy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;These local events create low barrier to entry for anyone to build understanding, ask questions, cross-pollinate ideas and develop perspective.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/n4b8ddD9vHq8Q1czl98uFBS8oso9ufcDBqYyyZGtqdE/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzhiM3ZkNmp2/OHpodnh2aGpnMTQ4/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/n4b8ddD9vHq8Q1czl98uFBS8oso9ufcDBqYyyZGtqdE/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzhiM3ZkNmp2/OHpodnh2aGpnMTQ4/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;At Interledger Foundation, supporting local communities is part of practising openness, creating spaces where participation is meaningful, accessible, and rooted in real-world engagement. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/r69lv5psLCbN_Eaoy0RifKZjWxnNyrSiuwfrzPMc1L8/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzL2dyM202MnVy/cTRpZmtzb3l0b3o2/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/r69lv5psLCbN_Eaoy0RifKZjWxnNyrSiuwfrzPMc1L8/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzL2dyM202MnVy/cTRpZmtzb3l0b3o2/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="450"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Deeper Look: Interledger Foundation 2026 Goals &amp;amp; Strategy
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For January’s community call, we led a share-out and feedback session about ILF’s 2026 plans:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;We kick-started the call by asking everyone to share one word to describe their journey with Interledger in 2025:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/zqxwXm2XFlRik2nNBbXayoNJjspkLBeW7_s2CvLIZn4/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzVsZTR2bzMy/bzBsdHVqdTU5ZWp1/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/zqxwXm2XFlRik2nNBbXayoNJjspkLBeW7_s2CvLIZn4/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzVsZTR2bzMy/bzBsdHVqdTU5ZWp1/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="371"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Then everyone shared what they are excited about / looking forward to in 2026:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/VsrLLqRh8r4MsYjtOuPBf2_79Afw9VsvFXznwJVviLE/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzL2VnYWtpZ2Fn/bzJiYmtsYmZrOGsy/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/VsrLLqRh8r4MsYjtOuPBf2_79Afw9VsvFXznwJVviLE/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzL2VnYWtpZ2Fn/bzJiYmtsYmZrOGsy/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="374"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Pillars of Strategic Plan
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://community.interledger.org/images/2W_nX-tgs32T-dsb3SIKXfM-xxGGfsRvBzwvdO_FSwc/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzN1Nm11Mjly/YnJyMjdmOWIxOWxr/LnBuZw" class="article-body-image-wrapper"&gt;&lt;img src="https://community.interledger.org/images/2W_nX-tgs32T-dsb3SIKXfM-xxGGfsRvBzwvdO_FSwc/rt:fit/w:800/g:sm/q:0/mb:500000/ar:1/aHR0cHM6Ly9jb21t/dW5pdHkuaW50ZXJs/ZWRnZXIub3JnL3Jl/bW90ZWltYWdlcy91/cGxvYWRzL2FydGlj/bGVzLzN1Nm11Mjly/YnJyMjdmOWIxOWxr/LnBuZw" alt=" " width="800" height="421"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Here is the full presentation of the 2026 plans with key pillars:&lt;/p&gt;

      &lt;/div&gt;
    &lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;


&lt;p&gt;There were some incredible inputs, ideas and enthusiasm for the questions, "How would you like to contribute in 2026?" and "What would you most like Interledger Foundation to do more of in 2026?". You can read more about the &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1v7ctNYBxC4rYOu4XeW2LQwX1lnCtCIXeF0jWo9nZu9o/edit?usp=sharing" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;responses here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

We concluded the session with a breakout group activity and invited everyone to discuss:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Share their personal favourite prompt from the surveys&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Come up with something they would love the Interledger Foundation Community to be proud of or have accomplished by the end of 2026.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;You can read the &lt;a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1T_Q_eRZtL8GluJR9rVADd7fvkB8mPluMk-d96LM4vlg/edit?tab=t.0#heading=h.p7mwkk4v8l36" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;breakout group share-outs here&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;We will continue to evolve the strategy based on your inputs and build on it. Thank you for shaping this with us!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
