Hi all — I’ve submitted a ZCG grant application and wanted to open it up for community discussion here, as required.
**Summary:** ZecHub’s Developer Resources currently cover Node.js/BTCPayServer integration, payment-request-URI documentation, and the official Rust/Swift/Kotlin SDKs — but has no Python-specific developer content, despite Python being one of the most common backend languages for the kind of merchant/service integrations ZecHub’s own BTCPayServer guide targets.
This grant funds a 4-part tutorial series contributed directly to ZecHub, each with tested, runnable Python example code:
1. Parsing and generating ZIP-321 payment URIs in Python
2. Testnet wallet setup and sending test ZEC from Python
3. Detecting incoming shielded/transparent payments via a Python lightwalletd gRPC client
4. A capstone minimal Flask/FastAPI app that accepts a ZEC payment end-to-end
Requested: $2,500 ($700 startup funding to secure ZecHub maintainer agreement and a working testnet environment before any writing begins, then $900 + $900 across two milestones).
I’m reaching out to ZecHub’s maintainers directly to confirm they’re open to reviewing/hosting this series — will update this thread once I hear back. Happy to answer questions here or on the GitHub issue.
