Pancake Gifts
🎯 What is Pancake Gifts?
Section titled “🎯 What is Pancake Gifts?”Pancake Gifts lets anyone send tokens — including optional gas — to friends, users, or communities using just a link or QR code. It’s a simple, secure, and gasless experience for the recipient.
It’s built to make onboarding into crypto as easy as sending a message — no wallet funding, no bridging, no upfront fees.
🤝 Why We Built Pancake Gifts
Section titled “🤝 Why We Built Pancake Gifts”Onboarding to Web3 is still full of friction. New users often give up before they even get started due to:
- No gas in wallet → Can’t perform any onchain action
- No funds on the correct chain → Bridging is required before using dApps
- Need to buy crypto just to get started → Requires CEX signup or fiat on-ramp
Pancake Gifts eliminates these blockers by:
- ✅ Including native gas tokens in the gift so recipients can interact instantly
- ✅ Sponsoring the gas fee upfront (sender pays a small fee)
- ✅ Enabling claim via a simple link or QR — no complex onboarding
It’s a tool for both:
- New users getting started onchain
- Web3-native communities looking to boost adoption, reward users, or run campaigns in a friendlier way

🚫 Limitations
Section titled “🚫 Limitations”- One gift per code — Mass gifting is not yet supported.
- Gifts cannot be reinstated — Once cancelled or expired, they cannot be reused.
- Unsupported tokens are blocked — Tokens with transfer fees or special logic will show an error on creation.
- Unsuccessful claims are retried — Backend retries a few times. If still failed, the gift is marked unclaimable and must be cancelled manually to retrieve funds.
- Gift must be claimed on the same chain — e.g. ETH gift must be claimed on Ethereum. Cross-chain claiming is not supported yet.
🕒 Cancel & Expiry Logic
Section titled “🕒 Cancel & Expiry Logic”Gifts follow a defined lifecycle based on status and time:
Manual Cancel
Section titled “Manual Cancel”- The creator can cancel any gift that is still unclaimed and within the expiry window.
- Tokens (minus the initial Gift Claim Gas Fee) will be returned to the sender.
- Cancelled gifts cannot be reactivated or reused.
Auto Expiry
Section titled “Auto Expiry”- Gifts automatically expire after a user-defined period (default: 7 days).
- Unclaimed tokens will be auto-returned to the sender’s wallet.

⚠️ Error Handling & Edge Cases
Section titled “⚠️ Error Handling & Edge Cases”- Unsupported Token
- Gift creation is blocked for tokens with transfer fees or special logic.
- Gas Mismatch
- If actual claim gas cost ≥ the sender’s prepaid fee, the claim fails automatically to prevent overuse. This will be retried once gas fee levels are within range.
- Failed Claim Attempts
- Retries will be attempted upon first unsuccessful claim.
- If still unsuccessful:
- Recipient sees “Unclaimable”
- Sender must manually cancel the gift to retrieve funds and the recipient will have to request a new gift code.
