Note:
All integrations may be embedded 100% via API. the following guide will only show implementation through CryptoMate’s Management Portal. API interactions will facilitate the implementation of further business rules and interoperability.
Solution 1: Debit/Credit card issuance
Step 1: Enter your CryptoMate Portal and setup a Rootstock treasury account.
- This account will act as the warranty fund for settling all card programs generated,
- You can generate several treasury accounts so to pair them up and better manage several card programs simultaneously.
- You may also generate virtual addresses in Rootstock to each of your users for them to individually divide their allocations into the card programs from their general balances on other modules.
Step 2: Go to the Card section and press on new card, to assign it to a specific user.
- Always remember to balance the warranty fund with the outstanding flow of usage from your users.
- You may also assign or change the daily, weekly or monthly limits of expenditure to each card
For maximizing your revenue, you may also allocate the exceeding funds from any program to Tropykus or another DeFi protocol on Rootstock while monitoring the minimum amounts for the card program to work (AVG period consumed balanced + Health margin (10% to 35%) < Warranty Fund).
Note that: 
Because the card programs may be run with Real Time Authorization, mitigation strategies may be implemented to handle unexpected consumption spikes that may unbalance the Warranty fund management.
