Hyperledger Quilt v1.0 is here!
Hyperledger Quilt v1.0, a Java implementation of the Interledger protocol that enables payments across any payment network was recently announced. Much like the Internet did for information, Interledger provides open protocols and standards to enable payments interoperability — across any currency, fiat or crypto — with no single company or organization controlling the Interledger. Instead, by specifying a common set of protocols to follow, the Interledger will consist of a variety of entities and institutions who can decide which other Interledger networks to connect to.
