Zcash Integration API Development

I need a custom API suite that integrates with the Zcash blockchain to provide essential wallet functionalities, including:

- Check balance
- Send funds
- Create wallets
- Generate new addresses

The solution should be built using robust, secure, and scalable technologies, ensuring smooth integration with the Zcash blockchain and potential expansion to other coins in the future.

Technical Approach:
We'll use the Zcash full node software (zcashd) and RPC interface, which provides native access to:
- Transparent and shielded addresses
- Transaction management
- Key and wallet generation
- Blockchain queries

The API will be developed in Python, and will be containerized for deployment via Docker.

Deliverables:
- RESTful API endpoints (with Swagger/OpenAPI docs)
- Zcash full-node integration (via zcashd)
- Wallet management system (with basic NoSQL database)
- Optional: Admin dashboard (additional cost)

Ideal Skills and Experience:
- Proficient in Python and API development
- Experience with Zcash and blockchain integration
- Familiarity with NoSQL databases, preferably MongoDB
- Knowledge of Docker and containerization
- Strong understanding of security best practices for APIs
