I'm a solo founder with no tech background, building a Hindi crypto wallet in the open

Hi dev.to! 👋

I'm Dattu from India. I don't come from a tech background, and I'm building Tazvera: a simple, self-custody crypto wallet in Hindi + English.

Why?

Most crypto wallets are in English and feel confusing for first-time users in India. Many people are scared of losing money or getting scammed. I want a wallet that feels as easy as a UPI app, in a language people understand.

What works today (testnet)

  • In-app wallet, no MetaMask needed (12 words + 6-digit PIN)
  • PIN for every send, app lock, "Test my 12 words" backup check
  • Send, receive, request with QR codes and a confirm screen
  • Built-in helper with answers in English, Hindi, Marathi and Gujarati
  • Shardeum Testnet, BNB Testnet and Ethereum Sepolia
  • Free TZT test token faucet

Try it: https://app.tazvera.com (test networks only, test coins have no value)

Tech

Plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, ethers.js, hosted on Vercel. No build step.

I need help 🙏

This is a volunteer open source project (MIT). I'm a solo founder with no budget, so I can't pay. But if you'd like to help for free, I would be very grateful:

  • Review the code (especially wallet.js)
  • Report bugs or ideas in Issues
  • Send a pull request (translations, cleanup, tests)

Every star, comment and suggestion helps a small project like this. Thank you for reading! 💚
