Rafiki

What is Rafiki?

Rafiki is open source software that allows an Account Servicing Entity to enable Interledger functionality on its users’ accounts.

This includes:

• sending and receiving payments (via SPSP and Open Payments)
• allowing third-party access to initiate payments and view transaction data (via Open Payments)

Rafiki is made up of several components including an Interledger connector, a high-throughput accounting database called TigerBeetle, and several APIs:

• the Admin API to create peering relationships, add supported assets, and issue wallet addresses
• the Open Payments API to allow third-parties (with the account holder’s consent) to initiate payments and to view the transaction history
• the SPSP API for simple Interledger Payments

Additionally, this package also includes a reference implementation of a GNAP authorization server which handles the access control for the Open Payments API. For more information on the architecture, check out the Architecture documentation.
