Dear Tribe,

TBH, there should be no reasons needed to gift someone. While Birthdays, Anniversaries, Success Celebrations, Friendship Day, Raksha Bandhan, Festivals, and more are the most ideal and commonly heard instances, I believe that just the thought of acknowledging someone’s role in your life can be a sufficient and valid occasion to send gifts. 

On this note, tell me, have you ever googled ‘best gifts for friendship day’ or ‘useful gifts to give sister on raksha bandhan’ or ‘what to gift my wife for anniversary’? If yes, you now have an easy-to-do, pocket-friendly suggestion in bold! Gift Crypto!

While you gift someone crypto, you are investing in their future. This is your chance to #PresentTheFuture.

On this note, we at WazirX are super elated to launch your most requested feature, ‘Crypto Gift Card’. With this feature in less than a minute, you can send WRX crypto gifts directly to your family, friends, colleagues, partner, or anyone with just a few clicks and swipes.

Hint: Raksha Bandhan is round the corner. Why not invest in your sister’s future this year? On the flip side, let’s break the bias and present the future to our brothers.

How can you use the ‘Crypto Gift Card’ feature on WazirX? How to Send a Crypto Gift Card?

To make crypto gifting easier for you, we have updated our apps to support this feature. Please update your WazirX mobile app to experience this new way of gifting!

The process of creating and sending the crypto gift card is simple:

Step 1: On your WazirX Mobile app, go to ‘Account Settings’ and click on ‘Gift Crypto’.

Step 2: This is the Gift Dashboard. Click on ‘SEND A GIFT ’. On this screen, you can also navigate to see your ‘Received’ and ‘Sent’ gifts.

Step 3: Select a Theme for your gift card. This is how the receiver will see it when he/she receives it. We have curated some creative and funky themes to suit various occasions. We will definitely add more soon. Have suggestions? Let us know in the comments below!

Step 4: Enter the quantity of WRX tokens you would like to gift. This WRX will be deducted from your WazirX wallet. In case you do not have sufficient WRX tokens in your wallet, you will have to buy them first. For ease of use, the INR equivalent of the WRX you are gifting will be automatically calculated and shown.

Step 5: Enter the email address of the person you wish to send the gift to. It is advisable to enter their WazirX registered email address so that they can claim the gift immediately. In case you are adding an email address that is not registered on WazirX, we will email the receiver that you have sent them a crypto gift card. They will have to first register on WazirX and then claim the gift. 

You can also add a personalized message for the receiver at this step. This is optional. Once you are done, click on ‘NEXT’.

Step 6:  Review your gift card details and click on ‘SEND GIFT’. 

Step 7: Authenticate the transaction by entering the OTP sent to your registered mobile number. 

Step 8: Done! Your friend/family/colleague will immediately get notified via email that he/she has received a gift from you. Once they claim the gift, you will receive an email about the same. 

How to claim the received ‘Crypto Gift Card’?

You will have to have an account on WazirX to claim the gift card. You can claim your gift in any of these 3 ways:

• We will send you an email and notification. By clicking on the link mentioned in there, you will be redirected to a page where your gift card details will be visible. 
• You can also claim your gift from within the WazirX app (web and mobile). Under your ‘Account Settings’, we will enable a nudge (New Gift Received) for unopened gifts.
• On the Gift Card dashboard of the WazirX app (web and mobile), you can click on ‘Received Gifts’ to claim your gift and view all received gifts.

Post this, you can: 

Step 1: Click on ‘OPEN GIFT’.

Step 2: ACCEPT or REJECT this gift. The sender’s details with their message for you will be visible here. If you accept the gift, the WRX sent to you as a gift will be added to your WazirX wallet immediately.
