Over this last month, we released version Alpha 20 of Rafiki, which included a few new features and contributions from community members participating in Hacktoberfest. Thank you to those who contributed over the last month!
Most of our time, however, was spent preparing for, and hosting the Interledger Summit in Cape Town, South Africa. The Summit is a great opportunity to meet community members, grantees, partners to discuss and see the work being done in digital payments & financial inclusion, and if you didn't get a chance to attend, we have all of the main stage & demos uploaded on our YouTube channel.
In this update, we want to highlight a few videos from the Summit that particularly relate to Rafiki:
- Introductory plenary: Our CTO, Alex Lakatos gives a broad update across the tech team, including Rafiki.
- Rafiki Ecosystem Updates: myself, along with one of our Engineering Managers, Timea Nagy, cover what has changed in Rafiki itself, demo the rebranded Test Wallet, and our Rafiki-powered, live Interledger Wallet with card support supported by GateHub.
- People's Clearinghouse (PCH) presentation & demo: One of our Rafiki developers, Jason Bruwer, presents alongside the PCH team, where we see how Rafiki is integrated as part of a new remittance corridor between US and community banks in Mexico.
Of course, we had plenty more of great presentations and demos from the summit that I would encourage you to view. Also, we also have our community call today at 10.00 AM CDT / 4.00 PM UTC to give us a deeper look into the event.
Now that the summit is behind us, we are looking forward towards 2025 where we have many plans to grow and improve the software. Before the year is done, however, we are planning on a release that will take us from alpha into beta! Because of this milestone, we will be releasing an in-depth article about this change, what it includes, and what is next, so keep an eye out on our Engineering blog.
