A Standard for Real-Time Payments Across Networks
Interledger.org
Setting up an Interledger payment requires a few things:
● DiscoveryResolve and discover receiving ledger services from receiver’s account identifier
● QueryQuery receiving ledger to get currency, precision etc
● QuoteGet a quote from the network
● SetupPrepare the ILP packet (get condition etc)
The “Simple Payment Setup Protocol”
● DiscoveryUse WebFinger to resolve account@ledger identifiers
● QueryStandard Web APIs for getting receiver info
● QuoteGet a quote from the network
● SetupStandards Web API for getting a condition from the receiver
The “Simple Payment Setup Protocol” - Discovery
Webfinger (RFC 7033) to look up an identifier (e.g. [email protected])
GET /.well-known/webfinger?resource=acct%3Abob%40red.ilpdemo.org HTTP/1.1
Host: red.ilpdemo.org
Accept: application/json
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: application/json
{
"subject": "acct:[email protected]",
"links": [
{
"rel": "https://interledger.org/rel/receiver",
"href": "https://red.ilpdemo.org/api/receivers/bob"
}
]
}
The “Simple Payment Setup Protocol” - Query
Two receiver types:
PayeePayee information consists of basic account details. Amounts are chosen by the sender.
InvoiceInvoice information includes an exact amount as well as the status of the invoice. (Invoices can only be paid once.)
The “Simple Payment Setup Protocol” - Quote
● Quoting can be done using a quoting protocol
● Getting a quote is done by asking next connector
● Could be multiple quoting protocols based on both dynamic queries or static data
The “Simple Payment Setup Protocol” - Setup
POST /api/receiver/bob/payments HTTP/1.1
Host: red.ilpdemo.org
Accept: application/json
{
"amount": "10.40",
"source_identifier": "[email protected]",
"memo": "Hey Bob!"
}
HTTP/1.1 201 Created
Content-Type: application/json
{
"receipt_condition": "cc:1:1:47DEQpj8HBSa-_TImW-5JCeuQeRkm5NMpJWZG3hSuFU:1"
}

Project Activity Update
● Working implementations from variety of contributors● 190 community group participants● 50+ attendees at first workshop in San Francisco● 150+ registered for workshop in London on 6 July● IETF BoF scheduled for 21 July● Collab with Christopher Allen and Peter Todd on Smart
Signatures/Dex/Crypto-conditions● Plans to collab with Lightning community on payment
channels and integrating crypto-ledgers into the Interledger
What’s next for the W3C?
● Implementations will drive standardization○ BigchainDB/Ascribe.io○ SkuChain○ Financial Inclusion projects○ Multiple Wallets○ Crypto-ledger “plugins”
● Formalization of payment setup protocols will likely be done in a W3C WG
● A payment setup protocol will likely also be spec’d as a payment method by the WG
