Chai Card

Cash in. Digital card out. CHAI in your wallet.

How it works Approved plan

Chai Card is a digital voucher for people who would rather hand cash to a chaiwallah than open a crypto exchange. A participating retailer records a cash sale, the system emails you a card, and you redeem it to any Polygon wallet. You never create an account and you never share a seed phrase.

1
Pay cash at a participating retailerThey enter your email and the amount. The CHAI entitlement is calculated centrally — retailers never set the rate.
2
Get your card by emailA public Card ID plus a private one-time redemption code. The retailer only ever sees a masked reference.
3
Redeem onlineEnter the Card ID, your secret code and your Polygon wallet address on this site.
4
CHAI lands in your walletA separate fulfilment service sends the tokens and records the transaction hash. Done. Ek chai ho jaye.

Pilot regions

India: Delhi, Gujarat, Mumbai and Chennai. International: Middle East. Each region opens only after local legal clearance.

For retailers

  • Pending by default; issue only after approval.
  • US$600 default outstanding limit, adjustable by management.
  • 5% commission per issued card, paid in CHAI.
  • Ten-minute training. If it takes longer than making a cutting chai, the portal is too complicated.

Security you can check

Secret stays secret

The backend stores only a hash of your redemption code. The retailer never sees the full secret.

One-time redemption

The voucher locks atomically when you redeem, so it cannot be claimed twice. Retries never send tokens twice.

Keys off the web server

The fulfilment signer holds a small balance and sits apart from ordinary hosting. The treasury never touches a web server.

Chai Card launches after legal, tax, AML/KYC and consumer-protection analysis in each pilot region. Until it is announced on official channels, any "Chai Card" you are offered is not ours.
