2026 SDK Grant Program
Ends on
Software development kits (SDKs) reduce the time and effort required to integrate an API like Open Payments into an app. However, creating bespoke SDKs in many programming languages requires broad expertise and duplicative maintenance effort. Tools exist to automate the creation and maintenance of SDKs, but do not yet support the latest security features used by Open Payments.
The Interledger Foundation seeks to improve the developer experience of Open Payments by funding proposals in these themes:
- Support for RFC 9635 Grant Negotiation and Authorization Protocol (GNAP) as a security scheme in the OpenAPI Specification (up to $25,000)
- Support for GNAP in the Kiota SDK generator for TypeScript, PHP, Python, and Go (up to $10,000 per language)
- Support for Rust and Ruby languages in the Kiota SDK generator (up to $25,000 per language)
- Software libraries for RFC 9421 HTTP Message Signatures (up to $5,000 per language)
- Documenting Open Payments flows in Arazzo Specification (up to $1,000)
- Support for Arazzo Specification in the Kiota SDK generator (up to $25,000)
- Support for RFC 9421 in curl (up to $10,000)
