The Grantee Report

We’ve recently announced our intent to launch a CFP for ILP-enabled financial services projects. Today, we’ll feature AgnostiPay, a 2022 recipient of the grant.

agnositpay

AgnostiPay acts as a financial service integrator and enabler of ILP technology. We support the adoption of ILP by being on the client-facing or people's side of the tech stack. AgnostiPay seeks to help ILP node and wallet builders enable their end-user to directly connect their financial service providers (e.g. the end user's current banks, exchanges, and wallets) to ILP nodes. For the end-user, this means they can manage all their financial services conveniently and unlock currency-agnostic (peer-to-peer) payments.

You may preview AgnostiPay’s project here.


Open Payments Huddle

You might have heard about Mastodon or the fediverse recently. Federated social media went from an outlier technology to being used by more than 12 million people on thousands of servers in just a few months. A digital creator can now truly own their social media presence, distribution, and relationship with their audience. However, they still need tools for monetization.

The State of CSS survey has been running for the past 5 years and aims to track the evolution of upcoming CSS features and libraries, and help developers decide which new technologies to focus on. It is an open survey for anybody who writes CSS, whether regularly or occasionally, as part of their job, as a student, or just for fun!

The survey will run until July 15, 2023, and the survey results will be released in the following weeks.
