We live in a world with many types of content owners, but more often than not, they are separated from their audience by multiple layers, hindering their ability to receive fair compensation for their work. This is where Web Monetization comes into play 🌐💸. The Web Monetization API allows websites to automatically and passively receive payments from Web Monetization-enabled visitors.

**Motivation**
The ability to pay money has been a long-standing omission from the web platform. As a result, the web suffers from a flood of advertising and broken business models. Web Monetization provides an open, native, efficient, and automatic way to compensate creators, pay for content, and support crucial web infrastructure ✨.

**Why now?**
Until recently, there hasn't been an open, neutral and cost-efficient protocol for transferring money. Interledger provides a simple, interoperable, and currency-agnostic method for the transfer of small amounts of money. This opens up the possibility for streaming money, which makes more Web Monetization use cases possible for the first time 🚀.

Don't miss this opportunity to learn about the future of online monetization! Register now and join us for the presentation.

This meet-up will be hosted in English.
