#### 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**

{% hint style="danger" %}
&#x20;If you close the popup without saving, the gift code cannot be retrieved later.
{% endhint %}
