Breaking the Rules: How Open Source can be used as a competitive edge in Finance

Prof. Alex Lakatos

Interledger Foundation, USA

Open source remains controversial in finance due to security, compliance, and competitive concerns; I can talk about how Interledger navigated these barriers to widespread adoption.

Explore the strategic, technical, and community-building decisions Interledger made to foster trust and collaboration across the industry.

Understand why embracing transparency through open source can enhance innovation, interoperability, and ultimately, market positioning in the financial sector.
