GNU Taler (https://taler.net/); privacy-preserving payment system. Written in C/Java/TypeScript/Kotlin/Rust/Postgresql/etc.; needs include coding (especially integration into other applications) documentation (review, proof-reading), testing (incl. benchmark, UX), packaging, translation (Weblate/gettext); any help welcome ;-).

Taler seems cool,but this is a huge no no:

    Ensure your wallet is regularly online to avoid losing money due to expiration!

    We do need to expire cryptographic keys eventually, there is no sane alternative to this. Now, note that "regularly online" here could mean once every X years depending on how the system is configured.

      Thinking about it, that is fine because Taler is meant to be a payment system, not a store of value
