This is why Interledger does not have a currency or blockchain built in
Interoperability doesn't work if there's a built-in token. If you create a great protocol that makes you super rich, I have a strong incentive to fork it and create a competing protocol that makes me super rich, undermining interoperability. Only pure/thin protocols like IP work

Interledger connectors can use $XRP, $BTC, $USD, or any currency they want as a medium of exchange.
ILP is just a standard for how to say "hey connector, please forward this packet of money over there", it's not tied to any one currency or network.

Great post on "slim protocols". Building a token into a protocol creates an incentive to fork it.
This is why Interledger isn't tied to any currency or blockchain. Interoperability protocols tied to any one system will end up with many forks and no interoperability.
Below is the link to our first official article as Althea by co-founder, Justin Kilpatrick.

published timely thoughts about the Blockchain hype, backlash and a way forward. He focuses on interoperability issues and what the Interledger Protocol is doing to advance the open architecture of digital payments. Also a fun history lesson on the web!
Blockchain today is all about hype, no substance. More people are coming to that realization. But I haven't really seen anyone break down *why* and how to close that gap.
What’s preventing both wider adoption and progress towards better architectures? /🧵

Great point: open protocols/standards are about enabling competition and reducing lock-in, not about fighting fundamental economies of scale.
Looking forward to enabling more competition in payments & blockchains through
#interoperability
!
The value of decentralized protocols is not that they eliminate big providers on the network. What they do is eliminate lock-in. Discovery of a new provider no longer relies on who has the biggest advertising budget ...

The question to ask to decide whether something is just a protocol or a network is whether there's a single network you need to connect to to use it. Can you use the "Bitcoin protocol" without talking to the same network? Can you use Cosmos without the Tendermint network?
