FAQ & Safety
Common questions about using p2p.gifts — how gifting works, what's supported, and how to stay safe.
Frequently asked questions
What is p2p.gifts?
p2p.gifts is a browser-only P2P crypto gifting wizard built on the mybucks.online digital cash envelope (seedless, disposable wallet) framework. You create a one-time wallet, fund it, and share a branded gift card with a QR code. The receiver scans and claims — no signup, no app install on either side.
Which networks are supported?
Ethereum, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, BNB Chain, Avalanche, Base, and Monad.
Can I send any token?
You can send any native coin or ERC-20 token on the supported networks. When the receiver claims on app.mybucks.online, token balances are filtered based on the Uniswap default token list to prevent scam or fake tokens from appearing. Just make sure to include some native tokens for gas so the receiver can claim.
Should I use the auto-generated passphrase and PIN?
Yes — that is the recommended default. When you open the create-wallet step, p2p.gifts auto-fills a random passphrase and PIN that meet strength requirements. Tap the refresh icon beside either field to generate a new random value.
You can edit the credentials, but we strongly encourage keeping the auto-generated values (or refreshing until you are happy with them). Do not reuse passwords from email, banking, or your main crypto wallet. Gift wallets are one-time and unguarded — weak or memorable credentials are easier to guess.
If you choose custom values, they must still pass the on-screen strength meter before you can create the wallet.
Does p2p.gifts store my passphrase or PIN?
No. The passphrase and PIN exist only in your browser tab while the page is open. Nothing is sent to a server or saved in local storage.
What if I close the browser before saving the gift card?
The passphrase and PIN are lost. There is no recovery. Always download the gift card or copy the gifting link before closing the page.
Can I reuse a gift wallet?
Technically yes — if you kept the passphrase and PIN, you can access it again through app.mybucks.online. But gift wallets are designed to be disposable: create, fund, gift, done.
Is there a limit on how much I can send?
No technical limit, but p2p.gifts is designed for micro-gifts. Do not fund gift wallets with large amounts.
Can I customise the gift card?
Yes. You can choose from built-in themes, upload a custom background image, and add a gift note with Markdown formatting (bold, italic, headings, line breaks).
How does the receiver claim?
They scan the QR code or open the gifting link, which takes them to app.mybucks.online. From there they can view the balance and transfer funds to their own wallet.
Safety guidelines
Save before you close. Download the gift card PNG or copy the gifting link before closing or refreshing the page. There is no undo.
Use strong, random credentials. Keep the auto-filled passphrase and PIN, or use the refresh control to generate new ones. Avoid personal passwords, short PINs, or easy-to-guess phrases — gift wallets are one-time and unguarded.
Treat the gift card like cash. Anyone who has the QR code or gifting link can access the wallet. Share it privately — DM, email, or in person.
Keep amounts small. This is built for micro-gifts, not large transfers.
Include gas tokens. When sending ERC-20 tokens, also send a small amount of native tokens (ETH, MATIC, BNB, etc.) so the receiver can pay transaction fees when claiming.
Tell the receiver to claim promptly. The wallet is unguarded — first person to scan the QR gets the funds.
Don't post gift cards publicly. Bots and strangers will sweep the wallet before your intended recipient sees it.
