This November, we’re heading to Mexico City, and we want you to join us!

At the @Interledger Foundation Hackathon, you’ll have the chance to Unlock the Internet of Opportunity using Open Payments, our open-source, interoperable technology designed to make sending, receiving, and streaming payments seamless across borders and currencies.

We’re calling on developers, designers, and innovators to build creative solutions that:

Simplify cross-border and multi-currency transactions: tools that make international payments effortless and affordable.

Advance financial inclusion: applications that bring essential financial services to underserved communities.

Automate payments and workflows: solutions that reduce friction, speed up transactions, and increase efficiency.

Bring your vision to life for a chance to win prizes, connect with global innovators, and showcase your work to the Interledger community.

Let’s build an internet where payments work for everyone, everywhere.

Is AI biased or unbiased?

AI can inherit the biases of its training data.

– Skewed datasets = skewed results.
– Discrimination can be invisible but systemic.
– Ethical AI means constant testing & correction.

Machines don’t choose fairness and ethics — humans do.

Let's Take Back Control of Our Online Experience!

I recently watched an engaging conversation between Dr. Caroline Orr Bueno and Rick Wilson on "Doomscrolling, Disinformation, and Algorithmic Tyranny." They unpack how algorithms are exploited to spread disinformation and what we can do to fight back.

Key Takeaway: "If a service is free, YOU are the product." Let's be mindful of how we engage online and take steps to protect our digital wellbeing.
