About JustZappIt

Last updated: March 2026

The App

JustZappIt is a private, encrypted messaging application for iOS and Android. In-chat Zcash (ZEC) payments are coming soon — users will send ZEC to contacts using an external wallet like Zodl, directly within conversation threads, without KYC. Shielded transactions are the default: amount and recipient are not visible on a public ledger.

The core design decision is simple: messaging and payments are one interaction. Open a conversation. Tap the payment icon. Enter an amount and send. The ZEC arrives in the contact's wallet without leaving the chat.

The Facilitator Network

We operate an open-source, community-maintained directory of physical cryptocurrency exchange shops worldwide. Separately, we are building an entirely new facilitator network — a community of people willing to facilitate ZEC-to-fiat conversions via QR codes at any shop counter, with no crypto infrastructure required at the point of sale.

The directory is free to use, requires no account, and is verified entirely by the community.

Roadmap

• Live now: Private P2P messaging — iOS and Android
• Live now: Community-verified directory of physical crypto exchange shops
• In progress: Building the facilitator network — recruiting people willing to facilitate ZEC-to-fiat conversions via QR codes
• Roadmap: QR-code shop payments via fiat facilitator — pay at any shop in fiat, settled in ZEC inside the conversation thread. No merchant crypto adoption required.

What We Do

JustZappIt provides a free, open platform where:

• App users can send and receive ZEC privately inside conversations
• Community members can submit and verify physical crypto exchange locations
• Store operators can list their business and join the facilitator network
• Everyone contributes to building a more accessible crypto payment ecosystem

Our Values

Transparency

We believe in complete transparency. All our code is open-source, our data is community-verified, and our processes are publicly documented. Anyone can audit our systems, contribute to our development, or fork the project to create their own version.

Privacy First

We collect minimal information and never store personal data. Our anti-spam system uses cryptographic hashing to protect user privacy while maintaining platform integrity. We don't track users across the web or sell personal information.

Community Driven

JustZappIt exists because of its community. Every store listing, verification, and improvement comes from people like you who believe in creating a more accessible crypto ecosystem. We empower our community to self-govern through transparent voting and moderation systems.

Educational Focus

Beyond providing a directory, we're committed to educating the public about cryptocurrency safety, best practices, and regulatory compliance. Our blog and guides help users make informed decisions about their crypto transactions.

Our Technology

JustZappIt is built with modern, privacy-respecting technology:

• Next.js 14 for fast, secure web performance
• Supabase for our database and real-time updates
• OpenStreetMap for privacy-respecting mapping without tracking
