About Interledger Foundation
The Interledger Foundation’s largest recent grant, $423,300 to Mywalletguru LLC for development and integration of a payment streaming platform, shows a funder focused on technical infrastructure as much as community use. Across its recent awards, the foundation backs Interledger Protocol-enabled wallets, digital financial services, open payments, research, and ambassador-led outreach. It is a public charity with $97,509,343 in assets and $1,815,144 in annual grants given, and it funds individuals as well as organizations.
Recent grants also point to a practical, implementation-oriented style. Fynbos Technologies LLC received $320,533 for Interledger wallet services and provision of an ILP-enabled wallet, while Thitsaworks Pte Ltd received $250,000 for IT implementation, support, and consultancy service for the credit union sector. Other awards support open payments innovation, privacy frameworks, trust-based banking work, and community ambassador roles. The foundation’s programs include digital financial services, web monetization, education, research, and fellowship or ambassador tracks, with grantmaking that reaches developers, researchers, financial institutions, and community partners.
What Interledger Foundation Funds
In digital financial services, Interledger Foundation funded Thitsaworks Pte Ltd with $250,000 for IT implementation, support, and consultancy service for the credit union sector. That same theme appears in its support for Fynbos Technologies LLC, which received $320,533 for Interledger wallet services and provision of an ILP-enabled wallet.
The foundation also funds work on open payments and interoperability. Mywalletguru LLC received $423,300 for development and integration of a payment streaming platform, and Snake Nation Pty Ltd received $20,000 for the 2024 Interledger Summit community partnership grant.
Research and inclusion are another strand. Smriti Parsheera received $30,000 for research on digital access and financial inclusion in India, while Digital Discretion Company Inc received $30,000 for an ambassador project on privacy framework and outreach.
How Interledger Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster around a mid-five-figure level: the p25 is $34,260, the median is $40,000, and the p75 is $75,000. The pattern is mixed, with both smaller community or research awards and larger implementation grants above $250,000. The foundation operates as a public charity and funds individuals as well as organizations. Its recent list includes recurring names across years, such as My Wallet Guru LLC appearing in 2023 and 2025, alongside one-off awards to many grantees. The July 2025 digital financial services cycle is competitive and accepts unsolicited submissions, while some other programs on the grants page do not.
