A presentation on Interledger Web from the ILP community call on 2 October 2019.

This presentation is intended to stimulate discussion and debate around the Interledger protocol stack, the protocols being used on top of ILP today, the use cases we wish to support, and some ideas for things we could do differently.

To join the discussion please go to https://interledger.org/community.html

The ideas here represent my personal thoughts (not Coil's) and those of colleagues that have helped me put this together (Matt de Haast and Donovan Changfoot).

Our hypothesis is that there is a huge opportunity for ILP to be used to internetwork existing payments systems today but this is being held back by our determination to model ILP on the Internet stack.

Our work suggests that ILP is more like ISO 8583 (a payments clearing protocol) than IP and we should embrace this.

The video has been edited to reduce the total time (questions and discussion have been removed).
