In this edition, we’re bringing you an exclusive Ask Me Anything with some of the leading crypto developer innovators! They’ll share their unique experiences developing successful crypto card products and answer questions submitted by the community.

Moderated by Marqeta's very own Sujin Park, we’re joined by: 

  • Andy Bryant, VP of Technology at Bakkt
  • Tom Dickman, Lead Software Engineer at Fold
  • Rafael Valverde, Software Engineer at Shakepay

We encourage you to ask your questions before the event starts. This way, we can make full use of the hour with our experts, and make sure that you will get your answers during our Live AMA session. You can submit your questions in the thread below.

Some things to keep in mind:

1. How can Marqeta help developers integrate crypto solutions using your platform?

2. Do you also support global integrations for crypto developers?

With so many different crypto currencies and limited resources what is you process of prioritization around what currencies to support first and also on ongoing basis where to spend engineering when adding new ones. Is it just market cap or also technical novelties / ease of integration of concrete currency?

1. How can companies in the space compete with products like Wyre who are acting as on-ramps and completing much of the transaction in house. Where is the main scope for partnerships?

With the crypto card is it going to work like a debit card where retailers or companies who didn't/don't use crypto will accept this card? What coins will be used with the card or will all coins be able to be used with this card?

What new experiences are you creating to attract potential customers to this new way of  payment? I read that Fold created a gamification  experience that emphasizes healthy financial habits. How does it work exactly  and what are Bakkt and Shakepay doing on this? Greetings!

Why should developers choose Marqeta over their competitors to roll out fintech and crypto card products?

ZVNIC

Most payment cards function today using the Visa / MasterCard network rails. If we begin to use cryptocurrencies for payments, will we need to develop new payment rails, or can we use our existing payments infrastructure?
