Proposal description
This proposal helps cover some of the costs of onboarding to a new provider that offers additional coverage in the US as well as significant coverage in Canada, the UK and Europe.
This new provider operates on a upfront set-up fee + monthly fee model, but they take no cut from the discount they receive from merchants, allowing us to offer higher discounts and earn more revenue.
We will be releasing the new coverage shortly alongside a seismic upgrade to our system that covers a host of features from giving DCG/Dash Growth access to their own backend system (for marketing, customer support, and development use) to full multi-currency support and more automated settlement flows to keep our cashflow as efficient as possible.
Please note: this does not cover any development time, we will be continuing to fund this ourselves, just would appreciate some support on this cost that brings benefit to both us and Dash.
This provider also has coverage in Australia, New Zealand and India - we will look to add these countries in Q2.
Our plan is to continue bootstrapping for now with limited support from grants and then do a pre-seed raise towards Q3/4, backed by volume and revenue.
Also worth clarifying; gift cards in the Dash mobile wallets are provided by either CTX or Piggy (depending on the merchant, sometimes both our platforms have coverage); this is a CTX proposal.

Please clarify, is the Dash DAO funding multi-coin support for CTX, ie adding coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc? If so, why not seek funding from those communities to add their coin/token? I will be more comfortable funding this so long as CTX remains a Dash exclusive product and the effort/work remains laser-eye focused on fostering adoption in the Dash Network.
When I refer to multi-currency support in the update, that's referring to the fiat currency support aspect for the gift cards (Canadian cards are denominated in CAD, UK cards in GBP, Europe in Euro).
Thanks for making this important clarification !
