Four documents, the same five questions.
No throughput league table and no yield. The cells are what this library is willing to say about the text.
| Question | A Protocol for Interledger Payments |
|---|---|
| What the text proposes | Payments across ledgers via escrow and connectors, without a global chain. |
| Who may write | Each ledger keeps its own writers. Connectors forward. They are not a shared validator set. |
| What is settled | A chain of conditional transfers. Not one consensus system. |
| Load-bearing assumption | Ledgers can lock funds under a condition. Connectors and liquidity have to exist. |
| What this library says afterwards | ILPv4 and the RFCs came after this white paper. The legacy PDF was not byte-compared. |
| Rights | Rights uncertain |
