Peer-to-peer (P2P) payments should be instant, secure, and frictionless. Chimoney has leveraged the Interledger Protocol (ILP) to create a seamless P2P payment experience within the Chimoney App. By integrating Interledger, users are able to send and receive money effortlessly using their unique Interledger wallet address.

This article explores how Chimoney’s integration with Interledger is redefining P2P transactions.

The Role of Interledger in P2P Payments

Interledger is a breakthrough protocol designed to facilitate seamless financial transactions across different payment networks. Traditionally, sending money across platforms and borders involves high fees, delays, and compatibility issues. Interledger solves this by acting as a universal connector, allowing payments to move effortlessly between different systems in real time.

How Chimoney Leverages Interledger for P2P Transfers

Chimoney has embedded Interledger technology into its ecosystem, making P2P payments as easy as sending a message. Here’s how it works:

1. Automatic Interledger Wallet Address Issuance

When users sign up on the Chimoney app and complete Know Your Customer (KYC) verification, they are automatically assigned an Interledger wallet address. This wallet serves as their unique digital identifier, allowing them to send and receive payments seamlessly across different networks.

Think of it as receiving a phone number when activating a new SIM card—except this one is designed for instant financial transactions.

2. Instant, Frictionless Money Transfers

With an Interledger wallet address, Chimoney users can send and receive funds instantly. The process is as simple as:

• Entering the recipient’s Interledger wallet address.
• Confirming the transaction.
• Seeing the funds reflected in the recipient’s account instantly.

It’s like sending a text message and having it delivered in real time. No delays, no intermediaries, and no unnecessary fees.

Step-by-Step: How It Works in the Chimoney App

Step 1: Complete KYC Verification

To maintain security and compliance, users undergo a quick KYC verification. Once approved, they automatically receive an Interledger wallet address.

Step 2: Sending Money

Using the Chimoney app, users can:

• Enter the recipient’s Interledger wallet address or scan their QR code.
• Initiate a transfer instantly after entering their secure PIN without additional processing delays.

Step 3: Receiving Money

• Users can share their Interledger wallet address or QR code with others.
• Payments are credited instantly to their Chimoney wallet.

Why This is a Game-Changer for P2P Transactions

Traditional peer-to-peer (P2P) payments are often plagued by inefficiencies and interoperability challenges between different financial networks. Despite the rapid growth of digital payments, a significant portion of the global population still lacks access to traditional banking services, limiting their ability to participate in the modern economy.

Cross-border payments, in particular, face numerous hurdles. Transactions can take several days to settle, and fees are often prohibitively high, especially for smaller amounts. These inefficiencies are compounded by the fragmented nature of financial systems, which struggle to communicate seamlessly across borders and currencies.

Chimoney’s integration with Interledger Protocol (ILP) is tackling these problems head-on, ensuring P2P payments are faster, cheaper, and more accessible than ever before. Here’s how:

• Instant Settlements – With Interledger, payments are processed instantly eliminating settlement delays.

• Low-Cost Transfers – By integrating Interledger, Chimoney significantly reduces transfer costs by eliminating the need for intermediaries.

• Borderless Payments – Chimoney’s integration with Interledger removes geographic restrictions, allowing users to send and receive money effortlessly across regions regardless of local banking infrastructure.

• Secure & Transparent Transactions – Security is non-negotiable in P2P payments. By leveraging Interledger’s cryptographic security model, Chimoney ensures every transaction is encrypted and tamper-proof.
