- The Interledger Local Impact Mini-Grants provide small and flexible awards for grassroots initiatives focused on open payments and digital financial access.
- The Interledger Foundation is a nonprofit organization working to expand equitable participation in the digital economy. It supports financial-service initiatives, education programmes, community engagement and technologies intended to make payment systems more open and interoperable.
- Traditional payment networks frequently operate as separate systems. This can make transactions between different providers, ledgers or currencies expensive, slow or inaccessible. The Interledger Protocol is an open protocol designed to enable value to move across independent payment networks. It is not restricted to one company, currency or payment provider.
- Applicants must submit their proposal through the Interledger Foundation’s Submittable portal.
- The official programme factsheet confirms that the resource folder contains an application guide, concept-note template, and budget and timeline templates.
