# Do you speak tbDEX? Learn the Language of Global Payments


- **Date:** Friday, Jul 19, 2024
- **Time:** 10:00–12:00 (120 min)
- **Room:** Workshop room M3 (45)
- **Event:** World Congress 2024

## Description

The web connected us all, but cross-border payments have not kept pace. The legacy payment system is held together with proverbial duct tape, concealing fundamental problems such as the slow and expensive final settlement of payments. These inefficiencies result in costly account fees or outright exclusion from the global financial system for people in certain areas of the world.

In this workshop you’ll learn how to use tbDEX, an open source liquidity and trust protocol, to unlock frictionless, compliant cross-border payments that are settled in seconds, not days. tbDEX enables seamless exchanges across a diverse range of currency pairings by utilizing open standards such as decentralized identity and verifiable credentials to meet legal and regulatory obligations.

If you’re in the payments business, this workshop is for you!
