"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."

#InterLedger.org are one of a number of organisations who have been working towards a payments protocol. They drafted a web standard called Web Monetization;

... which @matt of @writefreely was experimenting with on write.as, back in 2020.

If you want to grill @Interledger about it, they're here in the fediverse with their own Mastodon instance.
