Project Summary

Rvess Pay is a live crypto to mobile money pilot focused on East Africa. This grant will integrate shielded ZEC deposits and mobile money payouts for Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.

The project will also release reusable open-source components for:

  • Detecting and reconciling shielded ZEC payments
  • Generating Unified Addresses and ZIP 321 payment requests
  • Connecting Zcash deposits to a TypeScript payment backend
  • Preventing duplicate deposit credits and payouts
  • Operating the integration with documented privacy and security controls

Grant Details

Requested amount: $32,000

Duration: 20 weeks

Category: Integration

The work is divided into four milestones covering Zcash infrastructure, shielded payment detection, wallet-compatible payment requests, mobile money payout integration, testing, documentation, and mainnet launch preparation.

I welcome questions and feedback on the technical approach, milestones, budget, and potential value to the Zcash ecosystem.
