          <h2>Sending Your First Interledger Payment</h2>

          <p class="intro">Follow our tutorials to start sending Interledger payments in under 3 minutes.</p>

          <p>First, follow "<a href="https://medium.com/interledger-blog/using-moneyd-to-join-the-ilp-testnet-ba64bd42bb14">Using Moneyd to Join the ILP Testnet</a>" to get connected to the Interledger testnet. The "Testnet of Testnets," as we call it, connects different blockchain testnets together. We use it to test new protocols and tools in the Interledger stack.</p>
