Designed for Simplicity, Like Email

Most users of ILP-enabled software will only ever interact with or see the Application layer. For example, by telling their application who and how much to pay. Their application will interact with the other ILP layers behind the scenes.

This will feel relatively simple and make sending money “as easy as sending an email”. We use this analogy because there is a similar complexity to the process of sending an email. As email users, we only ever interact with the top layer by deciding on the message to send and who to send it to.
