Re: Will ILP go live on October 1?

Totally understandable to get confused by the names of these projects.

   - Hyperledger is an attempt to build an industry-standard blockchain
   implementation
   - Interledger is a protocol for payments across different types of
   ledgers and blockchains (it is not a blockchain or ledger implementation
   itself)
   - Uberledger is new and doesn't have much in the way of details but it
   sounds like it's trying to be a "meta-blockchain layer" that uses the same
   fundamentals as Bitcoin. Interledger is specifically not trying to unify
   how ledgers work but to provide a minimal address and packet format for
   routing payments through very different ledgers.

Hope that helps,
Evan
