Could you please explain why Interledger uses XRP in its marketing,

Its no secret that Interledger came out as a research project at Ripple, so examples like this our bound to still be in documentation/marketing. But just as XRP is listed, so is ETH, Dollars and Euros. Interledger is a payment clearing protocol where counter parties can settle there positions however they see fit.

DISCLAIMER: I am speaking in my own capacity and must note, I don't know Chris personally and have never spoken to him. These are my own opinions.

* why Interledger has a co-founder of Ripple (Chris/Christian Larsen, who was sued by the SEC in December 2020)[2] on its board of directors*

As stated, Interledger came out of research at Ripple. I believe he serves on the board because he deeply believes in Interledger mission and vision. Which is to create a more fair and open payments system for the world. Yes there is an ongoing case, but our justice system is based on the presumption of innocence. And baring any finality in the case that is how it should be treated.

Commoner thanks for engaging and please do keep engaging, but I want you to know that there is no ulterior motive here. We are honestly just a community of people who are trying to solve a problem. Which is digital payments are still difficult and not affordable for a large number of people.
