Crypto Gifting

As more people discover crypto, they are still figuring out what to do with it. Crypto Gifting turned peer-to-peer gifting into a more legible everyday use case.

Problem

Gifting only works if it feels lightweight and self-explanatory, especially for people who are not already fluent in crypto.

Contribution

  • Explored gifting as a simpler, more social money-movement behavior.
  • Designed clearer framing for recipients, amount, and intent.
  • Prototyped more human presentation layers around transfer setup.

Impact

  • More approachable transfer framing
  • Clearer recipient setup
  • Better social-use narrative
