"Make gifting art a trend again." Send genuine Tezos artworks to friends and family with zero barriers—no crypto wallet required, zero gas fees for recipients, and instant onboarding via social login.
In the physical world, gifting a piece of artwork is one of the most intimate, thoughtful gestures imaginable. You see a piece that resonates, you wrap it up with a handwritten note, and you hand it to someone you care about.
In Web3, however, sharing art with loved ones has historically been broken. The recipient has to navigate browser extensions, memorize 24-word seed phrases, purchase cryptocurrencies on centralized exchanges, and learn how to pay gas fees—all before they can even look at their piece. The magic of the gift is swallowed by technical friction.
The inspiration for mederu ART GIFT began with a conversation with artist and friend ECCaro on Twitter (X). We wondered: Why can't gifting digital art be as seamless and joyful as sending a birthday card? What if anyone with a Google or X account could receive genuine on-chain art in seconds, while the creator’s royalties and platform integrity remain 100% intact?
Together with our community and AI co-ideation, mederu ART GIFT was born.
① Zero Crypto Experience Required
Recipients do not need a pre-existing wallet or any cryptocurrency. Opening the gift link allows them to log in to
using standard social accounts:
Google
X (Twitter)
Facebook
Reddit
Email
The moment they authenticate, a secure Tezos address (starting with tz...) is provisioned on the fly.
② 1-Click Instant Claim
Our latest update completely removes secondary confirmation hurdles.
Already logged in? Tapping [ 🎁 CLAIM ] immediately transfers the artwork to your wallet in a single click.
First-time user? Tap [ 🎁 CLAIM ], authenticate with your preferred social account, and the claim executes automatically. No repeated button taps, no confusing popups.
③ Zero Gas Fees for Recipients (Sponsored Relay)
The recipient never pays a fraction of a cent. mederu operates a gasless sponsorship relayer that executes the on-chain transfer and absorbs all network storage and transaction fees.
④ Starter XTZ Included
To welcome genuine newcomers to the Tezos ecosystem, mederu automatically sends 0.1 XTZ directly to the recipient's brand-new wallet in the very same transaction. This gives them immediate autonomy to collect, interact, or tip artists on mederu.
⑤ Trustless & Non-Custodial
Unlike conventional gift cards or custodial vaults, the artwork never leaves the sender's wallet until the exact moment it is claimed.
Senders maintain full custody.
Senders can revoke the gift anytime before it is claimed—with zero gas fees.
If the sender sells or moves the piece, the gift expires safely without risking fund loss.
⑥ Beautiful Social Sharing with Creator Credits
Once received, collectors can share their excitement to X and LINE with one tap. The system automatically queries
GraphQL to pull the creator’s verified Twitter handle and the sender’s name:
"🤗 I received "flowers 090" by
@joja_peaches
as a gift of art from mederu! 🎁
#mederuARTgift
"
For Senders:
Choose an Artwork: Browse your collection at /gift or click [ 🎁 GIFT ] directly on any artwork modal or profile.

#k
={secret}) and send it via DM, email, or messaging apps.
For Recipients:
Open the Link: View the artwork, sender name, and personal note.
Claim: Click [ 🎁 CLAIM ] and sign in with Google or your favorite social account.
Enjoy & Share: The artwork arrives in your wallet in approximately 30 seconds along with starter XTZ. Tap to share your new treasure on X with
#mederuARTgift
Because mederu sponsors gas fees and awards free starter XTZ, preventing sybil attacks, bot manipulation, and spam distribution was a fundamental design priority.
