Mexico’s payments landscape highlights an opportunity 🌍
In 2023, 85% of POS transaction value was cash-based. Meanwhile, countries like India (UPI) and Brazil (Pix) transformed everyday payments with interoperable, instant systems connecting banks, fintechs, and wallets.
Shared infrastructure enables low-cost, real-time payments 🔗

Last year at #FOSDEM, I met with @pfefferle about hooks in @activitypub.blog in order for @Interledger’s Web Monetization plugin to add wallet addresses to profiles and posts.
A year later, it’s reality! 🙌

We are excited to support @swf as it explores healthier online spaces and more resilient economic models.
Social networks and payment networks both benefit from a decentralized, federated network topology. Interoperability standards make it possible for communities to govern themselves locally while remaining globally connected—socially and financially.
Our first monthly community call of the year will be on Wednesday, January 14.
Join us for a first look at the foundation’s 2026 plans for advancing digital financial inclusion, #OpenPayments, and #WebMonetization.
In 2025, developers worldwide pushed the Interledger ecosystem forward, experimenting, shipping code, opening issues, and sharing ideas across hackathons, meetups, and GitHub.
Thanks for building open payments. Onward to 2026 🚀

Open protocols give communities the freedom to build financial tools that match local realities.
They support mobile-money ecosystems, micro-business tools, cross-border access and digital pathways for informal finance.

I would not be involved with the Web Monetization specification or @Interledger if either existed to promote the use of cryptocurrencies.
The Interledger Foundation is committed to improving digital financial inclusion, with a focus on digital payments.
Digital public infrastructure—such as open banking payments that use central bank-managed clearing, settlement, and currency exchange—are a better path forward than cryptocurrencies. It’s just taking a bit longer to build.
