Solution

Adding Cardano support to BTCPay Server would enable easy web payments for ecommerce websites and online services.

Problem

Cardano has no easy Point-of-Sale software integration, and therefore requires expensive custom solutions for website payments.

Prototype Phase

  • Establish basic functionality and comms between Cardano Node and BTCPay Server.

  • Entirety of work would occur in a forked BTCPay Server repository

  • Essentially a mapping of Cardano API to BTCPay Server API.

MVP Phase

  • Ensure easy deployment via Docker / Docker Compose

  • Ensure high quality user experience for Yoroi Mobile users and Daedalus users.

Version 2.0

  • Enable support for multi-asset payments.

This is a low risk / high reward project. This could easily be executed by a single developer (myself) due to the small scope of the project.

I am confident that I can execute on the vision for the project, and I am excited about what it could mean for the Cardano Developer community. We could finally have easily deployed web payments. Also, BTC Pay Server is commonly used so those sites would only need to upgrade and run Cardano node alongside their other nodes.
