There was only one problem: running contracts costs money and we didn’t have a neutral way to pay Codius hosts. Picking any single digital asset would have pigeonholed the platform, likely causing it to be shunned by all other communities.
The solution was an abstraction layer that allows users to send and receive any digital asset, fiat currency, or any other kind of value. This is what eventually became Interledger, the open protocol for sending payments across different ledgers.
