Hello everyone, and Happy New Year! The Rafiki team is looking forward to a productive year of building and innovation ahead.
Here is what we are currently working on at the beginning of 2026:
Open Payments SDKs
We are on the final phases of adding a few more languages into our Open Payments ecosystem. Most recently, we have added GoLang SDK code snippets to the guides in our documentation. In the next few weeks, you should expect to see more detailed overviews of the SDKs at our Engineering Blog.
Encrypted Data Exchange
We are continuing to refine the encrypted data exchange feature in Rafiki for enabling transmission of sensitive data during payments. This requires updates to Rafiki Admin API and webhook events: we are making sure that these changes are clear as possible for integrators to get up to speed and begin using this feature.
Security audit
As mentioned in the previous update, we are in the process of doing a penetration testing company to run an audit of the Rafiki software. This work is ongoing, as the penetration testers are making sure that the new features that we have added since the last audit do not have any vulnerabilities.
Open Payments features
As of this week, we have begun scoping out work for enabling support for directed identity for non-interactive grant requests. Our first step will be making additions to the Open Payments API specifications.
Updated Architecture
A primary focus for 2026 is the roll out of an updated Rafiki architecture. Designed for high performance and increased scalability, this initiative ensures that as our integrators experience growth, the underlying infrastructure can scale to meet increased demand. Currently, we are in the process of refining how some of our payment flows will look like within the new system.
See you in February!
