SWELL conference in Toronto started with the major announcement!

Hello fellow steemians,

What a start of the SWELL conference held in Toronto organized by Ripple. It is only the first day of the three-day conference and Ripple announced a collaboration with the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to bank the unbanked. Ripple, in partnership with Dwolla, ModusBox, Software Group and Crosslake Technologies, with funding and support from the Gates Foundation, developed a new open-source software called Mojaloop for creating a real-time, interoperable payments platform on a national scale to reach the world’s poor with essential financial tools.

This is a major announcement and it is only day one of SWELL conference. It will be interesting to see what else will get announced in the later stages as this is Ripples main event this year. Thos are exciting times to be around and be involved in Ripple. The future looks very bright and the potential is massive.
