At PancakeSwap, we’re all about making DeFi simple, fun, and welcoming, especially for those just stepping into Web3. That’s why we’re excited to launch Pancake Gifts on BNB Chain: a brand-new way to send crypto onchain that’s fast, friendly, and frictionless.

Whether you’re inviting a friend to join crypto, rewarding your community, or surprising someone special, Pancake Gifts lets you send crypto onchain with just a link or QR code, no wallet address needed, no gas fees for recipient, no onramp, no hassle.

What Makes Pancake Gifts Different?

Pancake Gifts is the easiest and most user-friendly way to send crypto onchain. Instead of asking someone for a wallet address or walking them through a technical setup, you simply create a gift, and share a link, and they can claim it instantly.

With Pancake Gifts, anyone can:

• Send crypto instantly via a shareable link or QR code
• No bridging, no onramp, and yep, no wallet needed soon (something exciting is on the way)!
• Avoid gas fees, as the sender covers them
• Let recipients use crypto immediately on PancakeSwap

By removing the most common hurdles in crypto onboarding, Pancake Gifts helps make Web3 simple, social, and accessible all in just a few taps.

How to Send and Receive Crypto Using Pancake Gifts

Create a Pancake Gift

Sending a crypto gift is quick and simple. Follow these steps to create your first Pancake Gift:

1. Select the crypto you want to send

Choose up to two cryptos. You can send one BEP-20 token (such as CAKE), and optionally, a native gas in BNB. Adding a gas token helps your recipient start using their crypto immediately — even if they don’t have any gas to claim it.

2. Choose how to deliver the gift

Generate a shareable link or QR code -whichever you prefer. It’s easy to send via text, email, or messaging apps.

3. Send your gift

Share your unique gift link or code. PancakeSwap takes care of everything behind the scenes.

Note: Pancake Gifts are single-use and expire after 7 days. If the gift expires, the amount is automatically returned to the creator. If the gift is unclaimed, the creator can manually cancel it to receive the amount back (minus gas fees).

Claim a Pancake Gift

Claiming a Pancake Gift is simple and requires no prior setup:

1. Open the gift link or scan the QR code

The recipient taps the gift link or scans the QR code and connects their wallet.

2. Auto-filled gift code

PancakeSwap automatically detects and fills in the gift code when opened via the link or QR code. Alternatively, the recipient can enter the code manually.

3. Claim the crypto to start onchain journey

Claim the crypto to start your onchain journey - it’s sent directly to recipient’ wallet so you can trade, swap, or explore DeFi on PancakeSwap right away, no bridging or buying needed.
