As for Venmo/Paypal interoperability across other fintechs is something they’re not supporting at the moment for instance I can’t send money to my friend who uses CashApp and have to use Zelle (so ultimately Zelle/banks win). But that being said they do have a large user base between their two platforms.
Paylias is more closer to the links you shared around instant payment systems, than Wise. In an ideal world, Wise would integrate Paylias’s APIs and issue you an alias that you could use to send/receive/pay money to a friend that uses another wallet.

Going out on a limb hereI’ve been working on a prototype payment network that allows people to send and receive payments at a fraction of the cost to traditional rails.I started working on this when building out the previous fintech I started, Safepay (YC S20) and realized how much value card networks extract from fintechs on both sides, and by extension the businesses that rely on them and...
India is entering into election terms which could be the reason these tensions are escalating. Both countries using this to further their own political agendas.

Indias current government seems more interested in playing this game and spurring nationalistic fervor since that particular regime has a very real interest in getting reelected.
Both countries have intelligence agencies that probably fund terrorist camps. So blaming just one country is highly misguided.
But yes i agree with you, its very easy for outsiders to cheaply throw words in an article without deeply researching whats actually happening.

How perfect was your app/website when you launched it? Were there issues (bugs, bottlenecks, bad code)? Did you wait until all outstanding issues were ironed out until you launched it? Or did you let it out in the wild and fix it as issues came up ?
I want to start contributing to an open source project but its already so mature and I son't really know where to begin digesting the source code. How do you guys do it?
