Incoming Digital Public Goods (DPGs), protocols, or a collection of APIs that facilitate any number of innovations but need to be protected by technical and institutional rules to prevent their monopolistic capture or use. Three characteristics set them apart: they are non-rivalrous, non-excludable, and globally available. They have a dedicated team to design and maintain them while promoting good practices, sharing innovations, and helping achieve UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Examples of DPGs include Mojaloop open-source project and associated foundation that enables the creation of instant, inclusive payment platforms across banks and non-banks.
