ILP is a protocol for transferring value securely across centralized and decentralized ledgers / blockchains. Interledger and blockchains operate at different levels: blockchains are databases, whereas interledger is an approach for connecting different databases. (I would argue that a number of the value propositions attributed to blockchains have been overstated beyond what they're actually good at, and many of them could be achieved in more efficient ways. But's that's a longer discussion) -- Evan Schwartz | Software Architect | Ripple [image: ripple.com] <http://ripple.com>
