I had never touched a computer in 2023. Today I built a crypto wallet with AI.

In 2023 I retired. I had never used a computer. Not even once. I could read a little English, but I could not speak it. What I did have was curiosity. I have been watching the crypto market since 2020, without much money to invest, but always wanting to understand how it works. Step 1: Learning to use a computer After retirement I joined a basic computer course (MS-CIT). Typing, files, the internet. Everything was new. I was slow, but I loved it. Then I took a security job. When that job suddenly ended, I was at home with a lot of time and one question: Can someone like me build something real? I decided to try. Not because I was sure I could do it, but because I wanted to find out. Step 2: Building with AI, one step at a time I started building Tazvera, a simple self-custody crypto wallet in Hindi and English, on the Shardeum network. I did not learn to code first. Instead I worked with AI like a patient teacher: I explained what I wanted, in Hindi. The AI explained the plan in simple words. Only when I said "yes" did it write the code. I uploaded the files to GitHub and tested everything on my phone. When something broke, I sent screenshots and we fixed it together. Many days I could only send a few messages. So every answer had to be complete, step by step. Slowly, the app grew. What Tazvera can do today Create a wallet in the app (keys stay on your phone, locked by your PIN) Send, receive and request payments with QR codes Shield: warns you before you send to a look-alike scam address Verified badges for official coins and a warning for unknown tokens Scam alerts inside the app An AI assistant that answers in your own language Hindi and English, light and dark mode The wallet also has its own token, TZV: fixed supply, no owner, no minting, and 45% locked in three verified lock contracts. It is not for sale; it is given as rewards. Everything is open source (MIT). Every change is checked automatically by free tools: CodeQL, Slither, Dependabot and OpenSSF Scorecard. What I learned Being honest is a strength. When the Shardeum team called me, I told them the truth: I built this with AI. They appreciated it. Small steps are enough. One file, one fix, one screenshot at a time. Safety first. In crypto, one mistake can cost real money. So I always test first and read before I press "Confirm". AI does not replace you. The idea, the decisions and the responsibility are still yours. AI is the tool. If you are where I was If you think you are too old, or you don't know English, or you have never written code: start anyway. Ask questions. Break things. Fix them. Keep going. I am still learning every day.
