Stefan Thomas wants to live in a world where currency moves as frictionlessly as information. As CTO of Ripple, he is helping to build an Internet protocol that does just that. Stefan is one of the co-creators of the Interledger Protocol (ILP).

Prior to Ripple, he developed vast experience in digital currencies, being both the founder of, WeUseCoins.com, the largest website for novice Bitcoin users,and the creator of BitcoinJS, a software package used by a wide range of Bitcoin businesses all over the world. Now, at Ripple Labs, his overarching motivation is to weave a global value web by making it easy for developers - from individual entrepreneurs to financial institutions - to build extremely efficient money transfer systems using the Ripple protocol, and, in the end, a world in which exchanging value is as frictionless, free and fast as exchanging information.
