Red packets: sending and claiming a crypto giveaway
A red packet is a shared giveaway: the sender locks a budget, recipients claim a share via a link or code, and anything unclaimed is returned to the sender when the packet expires.
Red packets borrow a very old idea — handing out small gifts to a group — and make it work with a shared link. The mechanics matter mostly because the money is real.
Sending one
1Choose the budget and the number of claims
The total is locked from your balance when you create the packet, so recipients are never claiming against money that is not there.
2Share the link or code
With a group, a community, or a specific person.
3Recipients claim
Each claim draws a share until the packet is exhausted or expires.
4Unclaimed budget returns
Whatever nobody claimed is refunded to you at expiry. You are never charged for shares that were not taken.
Claiming one
Open the link or enter the code in the app. Claimed amounts land in your Reward Wallet — how that differs from your main balance.
Send a red packet to your group, or claim one you were sent.
