Exploring a Native Card Program for Zcash

General
1

Hi Zcash,

I’m Ikenna from Anywhere Payment—we provide issuing, compliance, and settlement infrastructure for crypto-linked card programs (Visa/Mastercard).

We’re exploring a native card program for the Zcash ecosystem, focused on extending ZEC balances into global merchant acceptance while preserving its privacy model as much as possible.

We recognize the core constraint: card issuing requires KYC/AML. Rather than treat it as a binary trade off our approach avoids this supporting:

  • Tiered usage limits aligned with verification and risk levels

  • Constrained, purpose-bound data retention

  • Architecture compatible with selective disclosure mechanisms

From an ecosystem standpoint, this complements existing wallet-based spend integrations, while expanding reach to global card acceptance rails.

Who are the right counterparts to engage for a deeper discussion, particularly: Wallet teams (e.g., Zashi / Zodl contributors), Zcash Community Grants (if a grant-supported path is appropriate)

Happy to share more information.

Best regards, Ikenna- Anywhere Payment
