Building decentralized alternatives is no longer the problem. The struggle is finding a way to handle the money without middlemen. The current systems prove people will pay. I think they can just be asked to, not forced to. If only the systems were as easy to use, especially if they knew much more of it would go to whose work they appreciate.

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.

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 🚀

Eventually we'll all be paying for our media via a donation amount we set up to be auto distributed to creators based on the percentage of our time spent with their work, out of all the time we consumed media for that month. It will liberate creators from advertiser and business concerns and put independents on the same level as big media corporations.
But to get there, we need a fiat transfer protocol. Maybe somebody who will benefit could give them some press.

Great episode with @rabble and @mallory. In this new age of our government going after even big media creators, we need to reach out to them to help fund #SocialWeb decentralized distribution (that thus nobody can squeeze). That will also require a decentralized funding solution like #interledger. Maybe #PublicPatron.

"New AI-powered Smart Disputes will be enabled in July 2025"
"We’ll automatically enable this new product on your account ...
If you win a dispute using Smart Disputes, you’ll pay 30% of the recovered disputed amount. If you don’t win, then no fees for Smart Disputes apply. The fee for receiving a dispute still applies to all disputes, including ones countered with Smart Disputes."
We need a vendor-neutral payment protocol that doesn't depend on enshittifiers
