Node Summit 2017 – ROUTING TINY PAYMENT PACKETS WITH INTERLEDGER.JS – Stefan Thomas

When you think of building payments into your application today, you might think of PayPal or Bitcoin. In this talk, co-inventor Stefan Thomas will take you on a tour of the strange world of Interledger, where payments are routed as tiny packets across any type of underlying payments infrastructure, whether it’s blockchain-based, PayPal or even cash. Find out about the benefits of this approach and how it totally changes how future startups will think about their business model. Finally, Stefan will talk about why his team chose Node.js for the protocol’s reference implementation and how he thinks about the Node.js ecosystem today. This talk includes code and demos, some of which may hilariously and spectacularly fail – don’t miss it!

Stefan Thomas, CTO, Ripple
