Using their Lightning Network-supporting wallets, participants were able to receive their own beer, poured just seconds after completing the transaction by scanning a QR code.
Pubinno, a San Francisco-based technology firm that creates the "Internet of Beer" with artificial intelligence, robotics and cloud computing platforms, has now integrated a Bitcoin (BTC) payment infrastructure into its system.
By using their Lightning Network-supporting wallets, participants could receive their own beer, poured just seconds after scanning a QR code to complete the transaction.
According to Pubinno CEO Can Algul, the Smart Tap system was created in 2016 and employs blockchain technology to link the future of draft beer with the future of transactions. Cointelegraph had a chance to chat with Algul about the Smart Tap system.
Allows bar owners to get paid in seconds with little or no commissions, and with the self-serve capability of the smart tap system, they may save a lot of money on labor costs.
Algul explained how blockchain technology influenced his decision to utilize the Lightning Network for payments, stating that:
"We worked on Lightning Network because it is dependent upon the underlying technology of blockchain. By using real Bitcoin/blockchain transactions and using its native smart-contract scripting language, it is possible to create a secure network of participants, which are able to transact at high volume and high speed with low gas fees."
