Join us for our May Interledger Community Call on 13 May 2026!
The Interledger community calls shall be once a month, on the second Wednesday of each month.
Deeper Look: Digital cash, made socially responsible | GNU Taler
For May’s community call, we will have the Taler team sharing a deeper look into their project.
About GNU Taler:
GNU Taler is a Free Software privacy-friendly payment system from the
GNU project. Taler does not use a blockchain: monetary policies are
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
extremely efficient: customers authorize transactions with one click,
and then the system takes only a few milliseconds to finalize the
transactions. In this talk, we will introduce the political goals,
architecture and technology behind Taler, demonstrate the current state of the art and outline likely future developments.
About the Speaker:
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.
He is a GNU maintainer and co-founder of Taler Systems SA.
