The Idea
The everyday problem behind GiftHorse
People want to support each other - friends, families, communities, and creators.
Yet in practice, even simple acts of giving often become difficult.
It is not always clear what a person needs.
Links expire. Items change or disappear. Payments are spread across different platforms.
For those living in different countries, the process becomes even more complex.
These small, repeated obstacles point to a broader issue:
the intention to help is strong, but the tools available today do not make it easy.
GiftHorse was created to remove these barriers and provide a simple, reliable way for people to support each other from anywhere.
Who GiftHorse is designed for
GiftHorse supports anyone who wants a clear, structured way to share their needs or goals with the people around them. It is relevant for:
Friends and families who want to choose thoughtful gifts without guesswork.
Creators who prefer a transparent way to communicate what would be genuinely helpful.
People celebrating important moments who want practical, meaningful support.
Students collecting essentials or educational materials.
Travellers and expats coordinating support across borders.
Community groups raising contributions for shared projects.
Hobbyists and gamers gathering resources for equipment or upgrades.
Anyone who wants to organize support around a personal goal or life event.
GiftHorse helps people express their needs clearly and receive support in a simple, coordinated way.
Why this matters
People try to be thoughtful, but the current system gets in the way:
billions are spent on gifts that never get used
long-distance support loses money to fees
fundraisers feel confusing or uncertain
creators struggle to show what they actually need
supporters don’t know where their help is going
Generosity is everywhere, the process just needs to catch up.
Our solution
GiftHorse is a Web3 platform that makes giving and receiving support simple and clear.
People create profiles, publish wishlists, and share what they genuinely need. Friends, followers, and communities can see these wishes, choose a gift, contribute together, or support in a way that feels meaningful to them.
The platform brings several everyday actions into one place:
• discovering what someone wants
• selecting a gift or contributing jointly
• sharing gratitude through photos and reactions
• keeping track of wishes and fulfilled moments
All interactions are coordinated through a unified system powered by the $GHT token, which supports contributions, activity tracking, and shared engagement.
GiftHorse removes unnecessary friction from the giving process and helps people stay connected, even when they live far apart.
A wish becomes a clear request. A contribution becomes a coordinated action. Support becomes part of a simple, accessible social experience.
Pain Points and Our Approach
People guess what others want and often get it wrong
Clear wish-pages show exactly what someone needs — no guessing, no confusion.
Links break, items go out of stock, and tools feel scattered
Everything is organized in one place, with region-appropriate items and stable sharing links.
Long-distance support loses money to fees or takes too long
Contributions are routed directly to the chosen item or provider, avoiding unnecessary steps.
Supporters aren’t sure if a request or fundraiser is real
Every contribution is tied to a specific wish or goal with transparent progress.
Creators struggle to communicate needs across multiple platforms
One clean wish-page replaces scattered links, letting followers support creators directly.
Engagement rewards live in separate apps and don’t connect
All actions across GiftHorse surfaces earn unified Airdrop Points (AP), later convertible to $GHT.
The global shift in how people support each other
The way people give and support each other is changing, and global data shows clear gaps that current tools do not address.
Global gifting is exploding. Worldwide gifting and personal support spending is expected to surpass $3.5 trillion annually by 2028.
Creators are becoming a major gifting category. Over 250 million creators now rely on audience support, with more than 75% saying they need better ways to express what they actually need.
Unwanted gifts are a massive waste. In the US alone, over $20 billion worth of gifts are returned or never used each year — simply because people didn’t know what to give.
Cross-border support is everyday life. More than 300 million people live outside their home country, and family-to-family support makes up over $800 billion in yearly transfers.
Fees eat generosity alive. Cross-border senders lose $48–50 billion every year to fees, delays, and currency spreads.
Trust is the biggest barrier. Nearly 60% of people hesitate to donate or contribute online because they’re unsure where the money goes or how it will be used.
Crowdfunding keeps rising — but transparency hasn’t. Global crowdfunding volume is projected to pass $25 billion in 2025, yet doubts around authenticity still limit participation.
Wasted spending, scattered tools, and low-trust systems are not small problems. They are global opportunities to build a simple, transparent, and human way for people to support creators, friends, families, and communities with confidence.
