Have you ever tried to give an NFT as a gift to someone in a normal social setting? Especially someone who isn’t a hardcore crypto user?
If you have, we don’t have to tell you — The experience SUCKS.
It’s pretty much like this:
There’s nothing to “give” them - no pomp and circumstance around the gift
They already have to have an Ethereum wallet, which they probably don’t
If by some miracle they already have a wallet, you have to GET the address from them before you even send them anything. Which is a little awkward in itself. Why don’t you just ask for the balance of their chequing account while you’re at it?
If they don’t have a wallet, you pull them away from their birthday party or wedding or whatever and walk them through downloading software and laboriously writing down a seed phrase at their dining room table.
Congratulations! Now they own an NFT. And they also hate you and hate crypto. Juuuust kidding. Unless…?
We had to fix this.
Today, Gift3 is removing all that social and technical friction from the process. Gift3 lets you easily and magically gift an NFT to anyone with an email address.
Gift3 works:
in-person or from afar
on desktop or mobile
with any Ethereum wallet
How it works
Visit gift3.com on mobile or desktop
Connect the wallet of your choice
Choose the NFT you’d like to send
Enter the recipient’s name, email address, and an optional gift message (this metadata is stored privately off-chain)
Execute two transactions:
Approve NFT
and Send Gift which includes a small platform fee and the gas for their transactionless claim
Once your Send Gift transaction completes, the NFT will have been transferred from your wallet to the Gift3 smart contract.
They get an email notifying them of their gift
They click the button in the email to claim
They immediately see their new NFT showcased front and center in high resolution
They can see the traits and read the NFT’s description
Confetti! Wooooo! 🎉
They’re prompted to claim their NFT
If they have a wallet:
they can connect it and claim their NFT right away
If they don’t have a wallet:
the claim page helps them get one super quick. They can do this immediately or at their leisure.
right now on iOS we’re driving people to Rainbow for a mobile wallet, which works great with Gift3 - with just a few taps, they can download it and set it up.
Once their wallet is connected, they can claim their gift by clicking 1 button, in a magical, invisible, gasless transaction
Now they have the option to go deeper. Once they successfully claim their gift, we show them marketplace and community links like the NFT project’s Twitter and Discord which let them learn more about their NFT and the people, art and technology involved in the project. Maybe even get involved…
Fam. We are estimating that by just using this casually, we will onboard upwards of a gazillion people (or more) to Web3 and crypto this year. We are going to gift so many NFTs…
Gift3 is currently live on Ethereum mainnet. Try it now at Gift3.com and follow us on Twitter at @tryGift3 and Instagram @trygift3.
Right now we’re just excited to get it in people’s hands, and use that experience to tighten up the flow, add features, and make sure it scales. There’s a whole list of stuff we know we want to do next. We’ve made the flow as user-friendly as possible over the past 3 months during development but we can’t wait to keep tweaking.
Stay tuned for a more technical post about Gift3, how it works from that perspective, and how it was built.
Please submit feedback and bug reports at the link in the footer of gift3.com. We want to know what you think and how we can make the product better.
Thanks for reading!
