OpenGifts: Crypto Red Packets

Want to congratulate friends with something more than a card, without fuss over payment details? OpenGifts turns a crypto transfer into a red packet: you drop it in a chat and friends tap to claim their share.

The service used to be called TonGifts, and the team later renamed it OpenGifts. The mini app has gathered about 490 thousand users. 🎁

What a red packet is

The idea comes from the Chinese tradition of giving money in a red envelope at holidays. In the digital version you put an amount in the packet, send it to a chat, and members claim it with a single tap.

For a group of friends it is a game: whoever taps first gets it. For communities it is a way to liven up the discussion. 🧧

What the bot itself says

• Sending gifts. The description talks about envelopes with gifts inside.
• Cryptocurrency. The project's news mentions TON, USDT and BTC.
• Project chat and channel. News and promotions are posted there. Early materials promised rewards for joining a group, but promotion terms change, so trust only the current information inside the app.

How to send your first packet

1. Press /start. The mini app opens.
2. Pick a coin and an amount. Start small to see how it works.
3. Set the number of recipients. Decide how many people share the packet.
4. Send it to a chat. Members tap and claim.

The exact steps and fees are shown in the app itself, and they may change.

Why communities use it

Chat and project owners use packets as an engagement tool: small rewards can go out for a subscription, a comment or a vote. It works, but be honest and explain the rules of the giveaway to participants.

If you run a chat, announce the rules in advance to avoid arguments.

Where the catch is

Any work with crypto carries risk. Coin prices move, what you send cannot be taken back, and it is very easy to mix up an address.

A separate matter: scammers love faking giveaways that promise free USDT. Do not connect a wallet through links from private messages, never type secret phrases, and check the bot's name before sending money. ⚠️

Practical tips

• Do not put in more than you can lose. A symbolic amount is enough for the first packets.
• Verify the bot. Lookalike names are common.
• Do not promise income. A packet is a gift, not earnings.
• Mind the law. Rules for crypto differ by country.
