have been doing some research on the usability of blockchain based services for quite some time and realized a huge disconnect between techy folks world and the need of people in the real world.\r\n\r\nI live in the East African region where the need of these types of services is really crucial and online businesses and services  are willing to start using them, but as for now, **user centric and friendly** blockchain based services are missing. \r\n\r\nBusinesses would like to expand their customer pool by accepting novel and inclusive payment systems since most of the population in the region is _unbanked_ and thus **can’t make payments** for services and products online.\r\n\r\nI lead a small lab at my University where me and my team decided to tackle this problem, we had experiences in building research blockchains but it couldn’t wise to start again something from scratch yet another blockchain.\r\nThe idea to reuse existing battle tested blockchains and for us the Zcash seemed the most promising in the long run. \r\n\r\nWe are planning to build a **thin layer service on top of Zcash** that will allow people and businesses in the region to start using and enjoy the _flexibility_ that comes with blockchain based services.\r\n\r\nWe truly believe believe on the future **positive impact** of our work for the good of the people and businesses in the region, that’s the reason why we’d like be among the Zcash Foundation Grant Laureates.  \r\n\r\nThanks so much.\r\n\r\nFor a more elaborate project design document --> Email :
