#### 2. Select Tokens and Amounts

Choose up to **two tokens** to include in your gift:

* **One BEP-20 token** (required) — e.g., CAKE
* **One native gas token** (optional) — e.g., BNB

This setup lets you:

* Send usable tokens to the recipient
*   Cover their gas so they can transact immediately

#### 3. Choose Gift Type

Select one of the following:

* 🔗 **Link** — Easy to copy and share via chat or socials
* 📱 **QR Code** — Perfect for in-person events or mobile users

> 💡 Each gift can only be claimed once, and only supports one delivery format (link or QR).

#### 4. Review Summary & Pay

Before confirming, review:

* **Gift Amount** — Total tokens included in the gift
* **Gift Claim Gas Fee** — Native tokens sender included for recipient to enjoy gasless claiming (\~$0.05 in BNB)

Once confirmed:

* The gift is created and stored on-chain
* You’ll receive a **link or QR code** — make sure to **save it before closing the popup**

&#x20;If you close the popup without saving, the gift code cannot be retrieved later.

* A **shareable Link**, and / or
* A **scannable QR Code**

You can share this via:

* Chat apps (Telegram, WhatsApp)
* Email
* Social media
* Direct message at events

### 🎉 Step 3: Claim a Gift

#### 1. After connecting wallet, tap the Link or Scan the QR Code

When the recipient:

* **Opens the link** or
* **Scans the QR code**

The app will autofill the gift code. If eligible and unclaimed, the gift claim UI will load.

#### 2. Approve & Receive Tokens

Once approved:

* The BEP-20 tokens (and gas token, if included) are deposited into their wallet
*   The gift is marked as **claimed**
