How do I send an invite via Gift link?

Generate a link pre-loaded with stablecoins or other tokens – share it anywhere. Your contact downloads EXTRA SAFE, and the funds are instantly waiting in their new account. No wallet address needed, or crypto experience required.

A Gift Link is an invite and a wallet transfer in one. You load it with stablecoins or other tokens before sending. The recipient doesn't need an existing EXTRA SAFE account, a wallet address, or any knowledge of crypto to claim it. They tap the link, set up their account, and see their balance.

  • 1.

    Open EXTRA SAFE and go to the Wallet tab → click on the Gift button.

  • 2.

    Enter a name – this is what the recipient's account will be created under.

  • 3.

    Choose the network and the amount of assets you want to send. When you pay in stablecoins, the fee settles in stablecoins, so there's no need to hold extra coins to create a Gift.

  • 4.

    Optionally set a password and write a message.

  • 5.

    Tap Create Gift to generate a shareable link.

  • 6.

    Send the link via any channel: WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS, email, or another messenger.

The password, if set, is the only key to the gift. EXTRA SAFE does not store it. If the recipient loses the password before claiming, the funds cannot be retrieved. Share it securely – ideally through a separate channel from the link itself.

What happens on the recipient's side

The experience is designed to be as simple as possible for someone who has never used crypto:

  • 1.

    Recipient taps the link → App Store or Google Play opens.

  • 2.

    They download and install EXTRA SAFE.

  • 3.

    On first launch, they see a setup screen with the gift waiting – showing the name you set and the amount of tokens.

  • 4.

    They enter the password (if one was set).

  • 5.

    The tokens transfer to their new wallet instantly.

  • 6.

    Their EXTRA SAFE account is created under the name you specified. They can update it later.

From this point, they have a fully functional EXTRA SAFE account and wallet. They can start messaging, receive or send stablecoins in chat, and appear in your contact list.

The recipient's account is created on their device the moment they open the app – the same cryptographic identity model as any other EXTRA SAFE user. The gift flow is just a faster path to that first moment.

Security considerations

The Gift system is built around the password you set:

  • The link alone is not enough to claim the gift, if the sender have set the password – however, it’s optional

  • Share the link and password through separate channels when possible (e.g., link via WhatsApp, password via SMS)

Once the gift is claimed, the funds belong to the recipient's self-custodial wallet. Transactions on blockchain are irreversible. Make sure the recipient is the right person before sending.

Use cases

Gifts work well for:

  • 1.

    On-ramping family or friends for the first time – no technical knowledge required on their end.

  • 2.

    Sending money abroad to someone without a bank account – they receive tokenized dollars and can spend them once the card feature launches.

  • 3.

    Birthday or holiday gifts in stablecoins – concrete value, instant delivery.

  • 4.

    Paying a freelancer or contractor who isn't yet on EXTRA SAFE.

  • 5.

    Introducing colleagues to the app with something tangible, waiting for them.

Q: Is there a minimum or maximum amount I can put in a Gift?

There's no fixed minimum or maximum set by EXTRA SAFE. Practical lower bounds come from network gas fees – for example, very small amounts may be consumed entirely by fees on Ethereum.

Q: Can I send a Crypto Gift to multiple people at once?

Each Gift is a single link for one recipient. To send gifts to multiple people, create a separate gift for each contact. This also means each recipient gets their own account under their own name.

Q: Can the recipient change the account name that was set for them?

Yes. The name you enter is used to create their initial display profile, but they can update their display name anytime from Settings after they've set up their account.

Q: Does the recipient need to know anything about crypto to claim a Gift?

No. The setup flow is designed for someone with zero crypto experience. They download the app, enter the password, if there's any, and see their balance. The blockchain runs in the background – they just see a number in their wallet.
