ILP Plugin Mini Balances

ILP Plugin Mini Accounts without unlimited spending

• Overview
• Usage

Overview

This plugin is similar to ilp-plugin-mini-accounts in that anyone can connect to it with a secret and be assigned a sub-account. It differs in that these sub-accounts are not granted unlimited spending.

When an incoming packet is fulfilled, it increases the balance of the sub-account. When an outgoing packet is prepared, it decreases the balance of the sub-account. If an outgoing packet is rejected, it increases the balance of the sub-account.

These balances are NOT intended for long-term storage or for saving significant amounts of value. It's intended to be an ephemeral buffer that applications can use in order to distribute an incoming stream of money to other destinations.

Usage

const PluginMiniBalances = require('ilp-plugin-mini-balances')

const plugin = new PluginMiniBalances({
  port: '7768'
})

• port - The port to listen on (same as in ilp-plugin-mini-accounts) (default 3000)
